🧠General & Mental Health
▲GENERAL
Hyoscyamus is prepared from a plant that in appearance resembles the
Belladonna plant.
Apparently it is harmless, but its seeds are
extremely poisonous.
The medicine pr epared from this plant is called
Hyoscyamus.
It profoundly affects the mind, especially in relations to
the sexual functioning.
In Hyoscyamus, there is total di sarray of mental functions.
The
patient feels as if his mind is under the control of a supernatural
power.
The patient is delirious and acts insanely .
Sometimes, a
patient develops the symptoms of Hyoscyamus during the typhoid
fever.
He talks while sleeping and constantly crimps and pinches the
bed sheet.
He talks unabashed obsceneties due to the inflammation
of the sexual organs.
It is not unusual for a decent person to talk
obscenely when sick, whereas he woul d never utter such foul things
under normal circumstances.
If a girl happens to be sick her parents
will not, out of embarrassment, even call the doctor to see her.
Nevertheless, the use of obscene language is no reflexion of her desire
in sexual misadventure.
It is a typical symptom of Hyoscyamus,
which causes inflammation of the sexual organs affecting the mind.
The patient talks in an absurd way that he would never do in the state
of normal health.
This excitement is due to the sickness also found in
Cantharis, i.e the inflammation of the sexual organs.
(For further
differentiation between Hyoscyamus and Cantharis, please refer to
Cantharis).
A Hyoscyamus patient talks obscenely during sleep or while he is
semi-conscious.
This condition disappears when the patient is awake
and conscious.
In a patient of Hyoscyamus there is a generalized twitching of the
muscles.
The nerves are irri table, causing severe muscular
contractions.
The patient feel s a piercing type of pain.
Muscles
become tense and contracted with tonic convulsions .
There are
fasciculation’s over different parts of the body.
The patient becomes
very weak and his head slips and sags from the pillow due to the
weakness.
This symptom is also found in a patient of Muriatic Acid.
In women, severe convulsions develop at the time of childbirth.
All sorts of mental diseases can be found in Hyoscyamus, but there is
no tendency towards committing physical violence.
Physical violence
is very common in Belladonna.
The patient has a very suspicious
mind.
He believes that somebody is standing next to him, and he
starts conversing with him.
Some times, he thinks that somebody is
standing behind him, thus he will often turn back to look at him.
He is
extremely suspicious like the patient of Lachesis.
He presumes that
his close relative has poisoned his food.
This symptom is present both
in Lachesis and Hyoscyamus.
If a patient is afraid of taking the
remedy through suspicion of being poisoned, a drop or two mixed in a
large amount of water may be administered.
When semi-conscious, a patient of H yoscyamus talks to himself.
He
then screams and may become totally unconscious.
Quite a few
normal people have the habit of talk ing to themselves.
However, the
Hyoscyamus patient talks to himself only during the sickness.
One of the ideas imprinted in the mind of the patient is that he can
never be forgiven for his sins.
In fact, in his own thoughts, he
believes himself to have committed murder or some other heinous
crime, though in reality, he never committed such a crime.
One symptom of Hyoscyamus, which resembles Glonoine and
Lachesis, is that the patient feels lost while on a journey .
While at
home he still thinks that he is not at home.
He remains similarly
disorientated outside the home al so He feels himself a stranger
everywhere.
The Hyoscyamus patient develops fear of water (hydrophobia).
Even
the sound of running water bothers him.
He cannot swallow water
due to severe constriction of the throat.
According to Dr.
Kent,
Belladonna, Hyoscyamus, Cantha ris and Hydrophobinum are all
excellent medicines to treat this co ndition.
In my experience, I have
found Stramonium and Hydrocyanic Acid capable of totally uprooting
this condition.
They are ve ry effective against the constriction of the
throat developing on swallowing water .
Hydrophobia develops
after being bitten by a rabid dog.
Stramonium is the best treatment
for Rabies.
In the olden days, some doctors used to treat the patients
with Stramonium.
In homoeopat hy also, Stramonium has proven to
be very useful.
The patients who develop symptoms of Rabies should
be treated with Stramonium a nd Hydrophobinum combined.
By the
grace of God, they work very well.
In case the anti-rabies vaccine is
not available, and one is not sure whether the biting dog is rabid or
not, Stramonium and Hydrophobinum combined must be administered
immediately.
These remedies shoul d first be given daily for a few
days, then twice a week for a few months and then gradually tapered
off.
This will, by the grace of God, prevent against the onset of
Rabies and obviate any further dangers forever.
If the eyesight becomes weak due to the dysfunction of the nerves ,
then Hyoscyamus will be of good us e.
In case the vision becomes
intermittently blurred and doe s not focus properly, then also
Hyoscyamus must be used.
Sometimes, during a high fever, the
patient goes into a severe convulsion with the locking of the jaw .
The mouth becomes dry and smelly, the tongue becomes red or
brown, dry and fissured; the movement of the tongue becomes
sluggish or it is not under voluntar y control anymore, resulting in
frequent interruptions of speech.
The tongue becomes insensitive and
liable to be cut between the teet h while eating food.
If all these
symptoms are due to stomach upset, then Pulsatilla and Carbo Veg
can also be used.
In Hyoscyamus, the stomach becomes flaccid and dilated.
The stools
(as in typhoid) are granular in appearance or may be watery and mixed
with blood.
Another troubling probl em is that the patient has no
control over passing urine or opening the bowels (urinary and faecal
incontinence).
If women are unable to pass urine after childbirth, then Causticum is
the best remedy.
Causticum will be much more effective when given
along with Arnica.
If this treatment is ineffective, then Hyoscyamus
must be used.
Hyoscyamus is very useful in the treatment of
urinary tract infections and inflammations.
In Hyoscyamus, there is severe griping pain in the abdomen and the
patient feels as if his abdomen is going to burst open.
The patient
vomits frequently, has hiccups and screams due to pain.
He feels
dizzy and also has a burning sensation in the stomach.
Before their periods, women become hysterical and develop cramps.
Even during their periods they experience stiffness in the muscles and
sweat profusely.
There is a feeling of tightness over the chest as well as suffocation.
The patient bends over due to the severity of the pain.
At night, the
patient develops a dry cough , which worsens on lying down and is
relieved on sitting up.
At night, a Hyoscyamus patient may develop epileptic convulsions in
which the toes become very stiff.
The child cries and graons, while
asleep.
The patient feels very uncomfortable at night and cannot
sleep.
There is widespread twitching of the muscles.
The patient does
not like to cover himself.
The suffering of a Hyoscyamus patie nt aggravates at night, after
taking food and on lying down.
The pati ent is afraid of being alone.
The symptoms improve on bending over.
