{"id":18138,"remedy_name":"Manganum Aceticum (HMT)","remedy_type":"Remedy","alternative_names":["Manganese Acetate"],"miasm":"Tubercular Miasm","temperament":"Neutral","aggravation_time":"Neutral\/Anytime","keynote_indications":"The homoeopathic form is prepared from the Acetate of Manganese.\nDr. Hahnemann has done its pr oving.  It works profoundly on\nhaemopoeitic system (i.e. blood formation), but for certain reasons has\nnot been used much.  Its main effect is on the voice box  (larynx).\nManganum is very useful in the treatment of accumulation of\ntuberculoses matter, causing gradual reduction of voice  and\nconstant coughing.  It also dispels ot her effects of tuberculosis.  The\nsymptoms of Manganum described in literature present a very horrible\npicture.  Therefore, most doctors fa il to benefit from its use because\nthey do not use it until and unless the symptoms manifest in their\nvividly dreadful form.\n\nIn Manganum, the skin becomes gr easy and pale while the patient\nfeels extremely weak. But all these signs do not appear right from the\nbeginning of the disease.  Once the symptoms appear in their severe\nform, it is too late and very difficu lt to treat.  Manganum should be\nused as soon as a symptom suggestive of Manganum is noted.  If the\npatient\u2019s voice box (larynx) seems to be getting afflicted and there\nare other symptoms of tuberculosis present (i.e. fever and cough), then\nManganum should be started without de lay.  If the patient is that of\nManganum, other remedies may reduce the cough but will not have a\nprofound effect.  Manganum is also intimately related to the function\nof the outer layer of the bone (perios tium).  Thus, it is also beneficial\nin the treatment of chronic si nuses originating from the bone\n(osteomyelitis).\n\nMenstrual disorders are also common in Manganum.  It is better to\ntreat a short scanty flow of thin watery fluid with Manganum rather\nthan with any other remedy to pr omote the menstruation.  Here, the\nproblem is the lack of blood (an aemia).  Remedies other than\nManganum will further aggravate the anaemia.  I have noted that if the\ntreatment chosen is precisely appropriate, then the periods will cease\nfor a few months in order to conserve blood.  Once the anaemia is\ncorrected and the body strength rest ored, normal periods will then\ncommence.  In case the periods have stopped in the absence of\nanaemia, then some other suitable treatment should be started to\nrestore them.\n\nManganum is very useful in the treatment of leg cramps, stiffness\nand insensitivity of the legs, as well as shin pains.\n\nIn Manganum, skin conditions are also not uncommon.  The edges of\nthe sores and ulcers become thickened.  Most of the ulcers fail to heal.\nManganum has been reported to be useful in the treatment of\nPsoriasis.  Psoriasis, that has previously been suppressed, will at first\nforcefully express itself on taki ng Manganum, and then gradually get\nbetter with its prolonged interrupted use.  Therefore, if psoriasis shows\nup with the use of Manganum, it should not cause concern.  Dr. Kent\nwas strictly opposed to the suppre ssion of psoriasis with powerful\nmedicines in order to avoid the development of cancer in the intestines\nor any other internal organ.  Most of the statements of Dr. Kent are\ntrue; therefore this one may well be true as well.   Psoric symptoms of\nManganum are also found in Phosphorus and Dulcamara.\n\nManganum adversely affects the bl ood cells.  There is a tendency\ntowards the inflammation of the voice box  (larynx) and the wind pipe\n(trachea), which extends from the voice box to the lungs and is made\nof multiple circular elastic rings.  Every successive attack is stronger\nthan the previous one, so much so that it ultimately brings about the\nflare-up of the previously suppre ssed tuberculosis of the lungs.\nTimely use of Manganum saves the patient from grave complications\nin the future.\n\nIn Manganum, ulcers become indol ent. This is a pre-cancerous\ncondition that may lead to the fo rmation of cancer if suppressed\nforcefully.  A mere light touch may cause the patient to suffer.  When\nthe bones hurt on walking and do not  respond to Arnica or Bryonia,\nthen Manganum may be used.  It  has more profound effect than\nArnica and Bryonia.  In a similar wa y, the pains like that of Baptisia\nmay be experienced by the patient of Manganum.  In Baptisia, the\npains are due to the dysfunction of the stomach and toxic putrefaction\nof Typhoid.  In case, Baptisia st ops working, Manganum should then\nbe remembered.\n\nThe patient of Manganum is very depressed and is fearful of some\nimpending mishap.  Generally, women suffer from this condition.\nThey have superstitions about th eir dear ones.  Once the mental\nsymptoms are well advanced, the patient may lose the ability to\nunderstand and comprehend.  The eyesight becomes weak.\nManganum will not only cure all the symptoms but also other related\nconditions of the patient.\n\nIn Manganum, the symptoms aggravate on movement and on walking,\nyet do not get better on sitting eith er.  However, if the patient lies\ndown, the entire suffering disappears as if it was never there.  Obese\nwomen, who suffer permanently from body pains and tend to keep\nlying down constantly, may well be cured with Manganum provided\nother salient symptoms of Manganum are also present.  Sometimes, a\nperson becomes sick and tired of just  sitting down and likes to get up\nand stroll around, but walking makes the pain worse.  In this\ncondition, one may think of Arseni c and Rhus Tox.  Their main\nsymptoms are different, of course.\n\nRegarding tuberculosis, symptoms si milar to those of Manganum are\nalso found in Argentum Metallicum, Phosphorus and Graphites.  In a\ntuberculosis patient, the headache due to the associated anaemia\nwill benefit from Manganum.  The pain of Manganum is sharp,\nprickly and piercing type.   Red painful pimples appear over the scalp.\nThere is inflammation of the eye and the eyelids, with hypersensitivity\nto light.  Looking at near objects causes pain in the eyes.  That is why\nthe eyes hurt on reading a book and doing needlework.  This symptom\nsomewhat resembles Ruta.\n\nIn Manganum the ears discharge foetid material .  Ammonium Carb\nalso is very effective in treating this condition.  In Manganum, the ears\nmay feel temporarily blocked and heavy.  Blowing the nose, which\nincreases the pressure inside the ea rs, helps restore the hearing.  The\nOuter Ear (Pinna) is painful to touch.  The nasal catarrh with cold and\nsore throat affect the ears, causing pain. Similarly, toothache may also\nbe referred to the ear.  Therefore, one should always remember\nManganum for treating the nasal catarrh, which causes heaviness in\nthe ear  and impedes hearing.  In cold and humid weather, even\nwithout infection, one may temporaril y become hard of hearing.  If\nthere is irritation in the ear, whic h then affects the throat on the\napplication of local pre ssure, and the patient begins to sneeze, then\nManganum can be beneficial.  Thes e symptoms, most often, become\naggravated in cold and wet weather.\nWhen the face is pale, listless a nd without natural glow, Manganum\ncan play an important role in treating the condition.\n\nBoils associated with fever  can also be treated with Manganum.\nManganum is also useful in the treatment of all sorts of stomach\ndisorders, especially if there is comp lete loss of appetite (as in\nanorexia).  This remedy restores the a ppetite.  The abdominal pain of\nManganum gets relieved on bendi ng over as in Colocynth.  In\nManganum, the patient definitely suff ers from a stomach upset of one\nsort or the other.  He will either be constipated or have diarrhoea or\ndysentery.  The digestive system is never completely normal. Hot\nflushes due to the menopause or simply due to anaemia are treatable\nwith Sulphur, Graphites and L achesis, though Manganum is also a\ngood remedy.\n\nManganum also prevents against the fatty degeneration of the\nliver.  It is also useful in the treatment of jaundice and stones in the\ngall bladder.  The patient feels light dragging pain below the navel. A\nsevere pain is suggestive of Plumbum.\n\nThe constant hawking needed to cl ear the throat can benefit from\nManganum.  This symptom is also not ed in other reme dies such as\nWythia, Argentum Met, Silicea and Phosphorus, etc.  The cough in\nManganum, like its other symptoms, subsides on lying down.\nConversely in Hyoscyamus the patie nt starts coughing on lying down.\nThis symptom is more common in young girls of a sensitive nature.\nIn Argentum Metallicum also, the cough subsides on lying down.  A\ncough which becomes severe on talk ing and laughing responds better\nto Phosphorus than Manganum.  Manganum helps restore the strength\nof  patients who are progressively getting weaker.\n\nIn Manganum, the symptoms become worse in cold and humid\nweather as well as during the calm before a storm.\n\nAntidotes: Coffea, Mercury\nPotency: 30 to 200","modalities":"","symptoms_by_system":[],"schema_version":"1.0","api_provider":"Allahshafi"}
