🧠General & Mental Health
▲GENERAL
Lac Defloratum is said to have be en prepared from skimmed milk.
I
do not agree with this statement.
I be lieve that the milk will still have
some fat particles in spite of being apparently skimmed.
The milk
definitely becomes dilute after the removal of fat, but, a little bit of fat
must remain.
Based on the homoeopa thic view, if the medicine is
prepared from ordinary milk, it should have the same features as that
prepared from skimmed milk because of the residual amount of fat in
it.
Lac Defloratum is very us eful in children who are allergic to milk .
They cannot digest milk and instead they develop diarrhoea.
Most
often, one dose of Lac Defloratum CM may prove effective, so much
so that they will not get the allergy again.
Sometimes, the allergy may
partially remain, or it may not re spond to the treatment after some
time.
Lac Defloratum is of a cold nature, while Lac Caninum is of a hot
nature.
The patient of Lac Deflorat um is very cool minded.
He feels
cold even while clad in warm cl othing in hot weather.
Blowing
lightly on the face will make him feel cold.
This kind of strong
feeling for the cold is different from that associated with Arnica,
Lachesis and Psorinum.
The patient feels extremely cold all over.
He
is sensitive to the even the draft of cold air and will start suffering
from rheumaticRelating to joint or muscle painDescribe pain, stiffness, or inflammation affecting joints, muscles, or connective tissues. symptoms.
He hurts all over the body, but more so
over the head.
This pain is not the result of any infection but is
rheumatic in nature.
There is pain along the course of the nerves on
the face and the head.
If the patient feels extremely cold, Lac
Defloratum must be kept in mind for his treatment.
The symptoms become relieved with warmth.
However, the patient
will never feel warm enough; he st ays cold.
The symptoms become
relieved with rest and local pressure.
The skin is very sensitive, as in
many other homoeopathic remedies.
The hypersensitivity of the skin
is due to the irritability of the ne rves, but in Lac De floratum, it is due
to the sensitivity towards the cold.
Lac Defloratum has mostly been overlooked in the treatment of
diabetes, even though its singular use can cure the diabetic, if other
symptoms of Lac Defloratum are also present.
A si ngle dose in high
potencyStrength level of a remedyThe dilution and succussion scale of a remedy (e.g., 6C, 30C, 200C, 1M), indicating its energetic concentration. may cure the patient.
I ha ve seen diabetics getting better
many times.
Diabetes is not the kind of disease that must need
continuous treatment for every patient.
A suitable homoeopathic
treatment can cure the diabetes comp letely, but in some patients the
treatment may have to be continued.
Some symptoms of diabetes may
be present in a patient of Lac De floratum even if he is not an
established diabetic i.e the frequent passage of thick urine and intense
thirst.
Homoeopathic remedies are related to specific groups of diseases.
Once the basic symptoms of a disease are taken care of, other diseases
with similar group of symptoms may also be cured.
When a patient hates milk, or his symptoms become worse on taking
milk, or he develops nausea, vomiting, headache, eructationBelching or burpingThe act of expelling gas from the stomach through the mouth. and gas in
the stomach etc; a single dose of Lac Defloratum CM can cure all
these symptoms.
At times, it may have to be repeated after a while.
If
two such doses, one after the other, do not benefit, it should be
abandoned.
If it is going to be effective, it is effective immediately, or
not at all.
When the first dos e has offered some relief but the
symptoms have recurred, a second dose may be tried but no more.
The symptom complex of Lac Defloratum also includes the
aftereffects of malaria, such as lack of blood (anaemia), swelling
(oedema), symptoms of diabetes and weakness of the heart etc.
Instead of trying to remember all the symptoms, one must remember
that the nature of this remedy is very cold.
The skin is very sensitive
to cold.
Whenever there is hypers ensitivity to cold, and any of the
symptoms pertaining to the heart, malaria or diabetes appear, then Lac
Defloratum will most probably be f ound more useful in the treatment
of all these diseases as well.
I have no personal experience of using Lac Defloratum for the
treatment of heart problems, so I cannot say for sure as to what
potency would be ideal.
However, while dealing with the heart, the
treatment should be started in low potencies.
If the patient starts
getting better, this should be repeated and the potency should
gradually be increased.
The heart responds in a very slow and steady
way; therefore, only low potencies are safe.
The Lac Defloratum patient loses his memory and avoids intellectual
work.
This medicine is also useful in the treatment of fatty
degeneration of the heart and the liver .
This condition is
commonly found in alcoholics but may be found in people who
consume too much fat.
Streaks of fat start depositing in the liver,
which gradually increase with age.
The affected part of the liver loses
its function and cannot produce chemical secretions in the required
amount.
The usefulness of this re medy in the treatment of fatty
degeneration shows that it dispels the bad effects of fatty disease.
A Lac Defloratum patient is usually very sad.
He wishes to die and
looks for a simple straightforward way to achieve it.
He is not
aggressive.
He is sad, with no sign of explosion.
He wants an easy
way to die without much trouble.
Pe rhaps the poet Ghalib was also of
Lac Defloratum disposition.
He said: “I wish somebody would sing to
me in such a beautiful and enchanting way, with the voice having the
speed and radiance of lightning so that I may die without any
discomfort”.
What a lovely death!
Alas, he did not get such a singer
to solve his problem.
The patient of Lac Defloratum feel s dizzy even on raising his arm.
In Conium, the patient feels
dizzy on lying down or closing his eyes, while the bed spins around
him.
In Lac Defloratum too, the si tuation is somewhat similar, while
in Lac Caninum, the patient feels dizzy while walking, and he finds
the entire world swinging around him.
He finds himself in a
fantasyland.
Similarily a patient of Cannabis has his own imaginary
world, in which he feels like he is flying or floating in the air.
Its
prominent sign is that perception of the passage of time is affected.
Sometimes the passage of time seems to flow rapidly, while in the
state of grief and sorrow, time stands still for him.
There is a kind of
strange situation in Lac Defloratum time is prolonged with the feeling
of joy, whereas normally, a good time passes away rapidly.
The mind
of a Lac Defloratum patient is not focused on something in particular
but goes astray.
He trusts nothing.
In Lac Defloratum there is one particular characteristic that the
women suffer from headache before and after the periods.
The
headache occupies the nape of the n eck, the forehead and the temples.
Yellowish offensive leucorrhoeal discharge, before and after the
periods, is also a soli d sign of Lac Defloratum.
Once both these
symptoms are present, the treatment becomes very easy.
Lac
Defloratum is also useful in the treatment of vomiting during
pregnancy.
When a female patient with a co ld body who has a tendency towards
being overweight develops diabetes, Lac Defloratum may be a
possible treatment for her.
If a woman delivers an overweight child,
while on normal food intake, it may very well be that her diabetes may
be passed on to the child.
If she is of a cold constitution, and her body
remains cold then Lac Defloratum can offer a complete cure.
Therefore, it must be used without any delay as soon as the diagnosis
is made.
Obese ladies with the f eeling of cold all over and who are
unable to digest milk will find this medicine very useful.
It will also
cure the vomiting during pregnancy in any woman who does not have
a natural distaste for milk, but in pre gnancy is unable to digest it.
All
the symptoms pertaining to the st omach dysfunctions result from the
inability to digest milk.
If the indi gestion is due to not being able to
digest milk or due to fatty food, the commonly used remedy is
Pulsatilla.
The nature of Pulsatilla is very hot, while that of Lac
Defloratum is very cold and this is the main distinguishing factor
between the two.
A patient of Lac Defloratum has extreme photophobiaExtreme sensitivity to lightAn abnormal intolerance to light, causing eye discomfort, squinting, or pain in bright environments..
He feels a
gritty sensation in the eyes.
The vision is blurred.
A patient of Lac Defloratum grinds his teeth at night.
The grinding of
the teeth may also be due to an in festation with worm s or due to the
swelling of the gums.
Similarly, st omach upset and the indigestibility
of the milk can also result in grinding of the teeth even in the absence
of worm infestation.
These three po ssibilities must be kept in mind.
In the presence of worms, the chil d develops a severe itch over the
nose, and the margins of the nose as well as the margins of the lips
become yellowish.
The second sympto m is that the patient feels very
hungry.
Both these symptoms can be best treated with Cina, while
Sabadilla is also very useful.
The third symptom of Lac Defloratum is nausea, however there is no
vomiting, except very rarely.
In this respect, it is somewhat similar to
Ipecac but in Ipecac the vomiting is relatively more frequent.
The constipationInfrequent or difficult bowel movementsA condition where stool is dry, hard, and difficult or painful to pass. in a patient of Lac Defloratum is very severe; even
more severe than in Silicea.
Some times straining may lead to rupture
of the veins but the stools are not passed.
Such patients can develop
pilesHemorrhoids or swollen rectal veinsSwollen, inflamed blood vessels around the anus or lower rectum, causing pain, itching, or bleeding. or hernia.
In Lac Defloratum, the patient passes urine freely, and has a headache,
like Gelsemium.
Gels emium also is of a cold nature, but the
difference between Gelsemium and Lac Defloratum is that in
Gelsemium there is no thirst at all while in Lac Defloratum there is
severe thirst.
In Lac Defloratum , the urine is abundant and light
yellow in colour, but it may also be thick and darkish in colour
indicating that albumin is being passed.
Lac Defloratum will be found
very useful in treating this c ondition if other symptoms of Lac
Defloratum are also present.
A strange sign of Lac Defloratum is that when exposed to extreme
cold, there is loss of control over passing urine.
The small muscles
(sphincters) become insensitive du e to exposure to the cold and
become temporarily non-functional.
A similar situation occurs in
Causticum but there, it is due to permanent paralysisLoss of voluntary muscle functionThe loss of the ability to move (and sometimes to feel anything) in part or most of the body..
Gradually
worsening incontinence of the urin e can also be found in KaliCarb.
In Lac Defloratum, the condition is temporary.
As soon as the
exposure to cold is over, urination comes under voluntary control.
Lac Defloratum is also useful in the treatment of backache associated
with menstruation.
While menstruating, the patient happens to dip
her hands in extremely cold water, the periods will cease immediately,
and some other ailment may ensue.
Therefore, such ladies had better
take the precaution of refraining from using very cold water during
their periods.
Lac Defloratum is also useful in the treatment of heart disease
especially the cardiac asthmaChronic respiratory disease causing difficulty breathingA condition characterized by spasms in the bronchi of the lungs, causing difficulty in breathing, typically from an allergic reaction or hypersensitivity. in which the heart is weak and there is
a shortness of breath.
On breathi ng, the lungs press on the heart.
Similarly, this symptom is found in Spongia in its own form.
In a patient of Lac Defloratum, onl y the fingers may be cold rather
than the whole hand and will not warm up at all.
The one exceptional
situation is that its headache gets better only in the cold, even though
the patient is already feeling extrem ely cold, like in Phosphorus.
But
the Phosphorus patient would want to protect himself with warm
clothing except for his head, which he would like to keep cold.
Nothing but only the cold can offer him relief.
Other symptoms of
Phosphorus are quite different from Lac Defloratum.
