🧠General & Mental Health
▲GENERAL
Mount Hekla is a volcanic mountain.
The medicine prepared from the
lava of this mountain is called Hekla Lava.
I do not know of any other
kind of lava used for the preparat ion of a homoeopathic medicine.
The contents of all the lavae ar e probably identical, however, the
effects of lava may differ from area to area.
Therefore, the lava of
other volcanoes should also be experimented upon.
Hekla Lava mainly affects the bones, especially the bones of the face
and the jaw.
However, it has an effect on the other bones of the body
as well.
Hekla Lava can be of useful in the treatment of tooth decay
associated with a lot of pain and which refuses to respond to any other
treatment.
Sometimes, the jaw becomes very swollen and may apparently exhibit
all general signs of Hekla Lava , yet does not benefit from the
treatment with Hekla Lava.
In th at condition, the mo st important and
effective treatment is Sulphur is found to be very effective
against certain dangerous conditions th at the doctors have labelled as
incurable.
For example cancer of the jawbone that has advanced
significantly and causes severe discomfort, affecting the ears.
Once, a
woman was in severe pain due to the cancer of the jaw.
One side of
the face was extremely swollen causing pressure over the eyes.
She
used to scream due to the severity of pain.
She remained in one of the
best hospitals for a long period, but the doctors found no effective
treatment for her disease.
Ultimately, she was discharged from the
hospital with the pronouncement that her disease was incurable.
I
gave her one dose of Sulphur CM, wh ich decreased the severity of the
pain and within two weeks, there was marked decrease in the size of
the swelling of the face.
After th is, I treated her with one dose of
Silicea CM.
With this the process of recovery, which had previously
slowed down, was restored.
Sometime later, I gave her another dose
of Sulphur CM.
The disease comple tely disappeared.
Several years
have passed since the treatment of this patient and until today, she is
completely healthy.
My reason for mentioning this in relation to
Hekla Lava is that she had apparently all the symptoms of Hekla Lava
but did not benefit at all with Hekla Lava.
This shows that Hekla
Lava may be effective against othe r diseases of the bone but is
definitely ineffective against the cancer of the bones.
Hekla Lava must be a really good remedy but personally, I do not
have experience of its effectiveness.
However, some homoeopaths
adore it.
The specific symptom of Hekla Lava is stated to be the pain in the
jawbones.
There is considerable sw elling around the jaws and the
jawbones become thickened and enlarged.
Regarding the treatment of the deep -seated bone diseas es, in addition
to Sulphur, I have found Calcarea Ca rb to be much more effective
than Hekla Lava.
I have used Calc area Carb in the treatment of bone
cancer that had been hi stologically proved.
Within a few months of
the treatment with high potencyStrength level of a remedyThe dilution and succussion scale of a remedy (e.g., 6C, 30C, 200C, 1M), indicating its energetic concentration. Calcarea Carb, the disease was
overcome significantly.
Such pa tients should doubtless be treated
carefully, over a long period.
On e should not just rely on using
Calcarea Carb, some other adjuvant treatments will also be required
keeping in view the overall symptoms of the patient.
Thus, the focus
of the treatment would obviously be Calcarea Carb, however, several
other medicines may also prove to be very useful.
Calcarea Carb is particularly very useful in the treatment of bone
diseases due to a lack of calcium (osteopenia).
Sulphur is also
effective.
Calcarea Carb is chr onic of Sulphur.
Generally, Calcarea
Carb is more effective in the diseases of the bones of the lower legs
than Sulphur.
Calcarea Carb is also effective against the cysts of the
hands.
In my practice, I have not been able to use Hekla Lava much, possibly
due to the fact that I was not fu lly conversant with its signs and
symptoms.
I do not mean to discourage other homoeopaths from
using it.
I would advise them to go over the writings of other doctors
about Hekla Lava and then use it on their patients in different
potencies.
It is just possible that they may successfully use it for the
treatment of many more diseases, in spite of my failure to use it much.
Some doctors have found Hekla Lava very useful in the treatment of
teething problems of children.
I do not have much experience of that
myself.
Instead, I have found the following prescription effective,
without any doubt, in teething problems:
Kali Phos + Ferrum Phos + Silicea + Calcarea Phos + Calcarea Fluor
Additionally, the above prescriptio n has been found very effective
against certain kinds of bone cancer and the diseases of the covering
membrane of bones (periosteum).
In the homoeopathic literature, the conditions which can be effectively
treated with Hekla Lava are: the thickening of the skull bone behind
the ears, the thickening of the outer surface of the bone, ulcers on the
nasal bones, neuralgicRelating to sharp nerve painDescribe symptoms or pain that radiates along the path of one or more nerves. pains over the face resulting from the extraction
of the teeth or the caries, and n eck glands which have somewhat
receded after initial enlargement.
The symptoms of Hekla Lava
aggravate in humid weather.
