# Medorrhinum ## Remedy Classification - **Type:** Homeopathic Remedy - **Miasm:** Sycotic Miasm - **Temperament:** Hot - **Aggravation Time:** Morning ## Keynote Indications Source: Derived from the nosode prepared from the discharge of gonorrhea (Neisseria. gonorrhoeae), processed through serial dilution and succussion for homeopathic use to eliminate. infectious material and enhance therapeutic action, in accordance with homeopathic pharmacopeia. standards. Traditional Context: Historically employed in homeopathy for constitutional, psychological,. musculoskeletal, genitourinary, and systemic disorders, particularly those involving chronic. disease states, mental restlessness, and pelvic complaints. It is noted for symptoms such as. hurriedness, joint pains, urinary issues, and a history of sycotic miasm, often aggravated by night,. heat, or damp weather, and ameliorated by open air, motion, or lying on the stomach. Modern Context : Indicated for psychological conditions (e.g., bipolar disorder,. attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder), musculoskeletal conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis,. fibromyalgia), genitourinary conditions (e.g., chronic pelvic pain, recurrent urinary tract. infections), respiratory conditions (e.g., asthma, chronic sinusitis), and systemic conditions (e.g.,. chronic fatigue syndrome, autoimmune disorders). It suits patients with acute or chronic symptoms. characterized by mental restlessness , joint pains , pelvic discomfort , hurriedness, or chronic. fatigue, typically exacerbated by night, heat, or damp weather, and often seen in individuals with. intense, sensitive constitutions. The remedy is particularly relevant for those with a history of. chronic infections, suppressed discharges, or familial predisposition to sycotic tendencies, often. presenting with psychological symptoms like impulsivity or mood swings alongside physical. symptoms like arthritis or urinary complaints, commonly observed in patients with bipolar disorder,. chronic pelvic pain, or chronic fatigue triggered by stress, damp environments, or suppressed. immune responses. ## Modalities (Aggravations / Ameliorations) Worse from: Night, heat (weather, rooms), damp weather, rest, emotional stress, sitting,. lying on the back, solitude, morning, suppressed discharges. ## Symptoms by System ### Mind -

Many cases of stunted growth and arrested development in children are due to latent gonorrhea and syphilis. - On this hypothesis, Clarke cured extremely offensive body odors in children with Med. - Negerath of New York and Angus Macdonald in England have pointed out a causal connection between post- partum pelvic cellulitis and latent gonorrhea in the husband. - Macdonald published several fatal cases. - The effects of the poison, constitutional or acute, may be taken as data for homeopathic prescriptions, but the virus also has had an extensive proving in the potencies and symptoms have been largely verified in practice. - Burnett noted several cures with Med. - 1,000c, including fits at every menstrual pe riod, coming on in the early morning. - Clonic spasms, the legs suddenly shoot up from the bed. - Rheumatism of the right wrist. - Sycotic asthma, worse from 2 a.m. - to 4 a.m. - Psoriasis palmaris. - Polyps having their origin in a chronic suppurating discharge. - Albuminuria where the urine contains some mucus as well. - Masturbation in chi ldren. -

He was passing u rine containing long white mucus shreds. - He had gonorrhea many years before. - Deschere published a Med. - case in which Miss S., 23, had chronic blepharitis since eleven. - Her suffering was intense. - Light, especially gaslight, was intolerable and this prevente d her from going into society. - She could not read in the evening, and in the morning the lids would be closed and she suffered much on getting them separated. - There was much discharge. - Before coming under Deschere she had been under strict homeopathic trea tment all the time. - Deschere remembered treating her father for gonorrhea before his marriage Medorrhinum and he suspected the taint had reappeared in this form. - Med. - was given in high potency, single doses repeated as the effect of each wore off and she was entirely cured. - Skinner traced a case of favus to the same hereditary cause. - It had resisted all the external applications that allopaths could devise and which had such an appalling odor that the patient, a little boy, had to be isolated from the family. - It was cured with Med. - 1,000c. - McLaren related in Hahn. - Advoc. - acase in which a young French Canadian of delicate constitution, after working in a factory all winter, began coughing in spring and run ning down in health. - He returned home and came under McLaren's care in May. - The cough persisted and prostration increased in spite of carefully selected remedies and the patient took to his bed. - It was then observed by McLaren that the cough and general condition was better from lying on the face. - This, coupled with a knowledge of there being a syphilitic taint in the boy's parentage, suggested Med., which was given. - The next day a profuse gonorrheal discharge appeared and the cough and all the threatening symptoms promptly disappeared. - Exposure to contagion had occurred several weeks before, but from lack of vitality the disease could not find its usual expression and was endangering the patient's life. - Ernest Nyssens quoted some important observations by old -school authorities on constitutional gonorrhea. - Wertheim, in a case of gonorrheal cystitis, watched the entrance of the gonococcus into the blood stream. - With the gonococcus taken from the blood of this patient he made cultures to the fifth generation. - A youth who had never had a venereal disease voluntee red for inoculation with this. - The sub -acute urethritis which resulted was so grave and in spite of all, became compli cated so cruelly with cystitis, epididymitis, prostatitis, synovitis andpleuro -pneumonia, that Wertheim asked whether the gonococ cus did not redouble its virulence by passing into the blood. - Jullien and Sibut witnessed a case in Saint Lazare Hospital in which Louisa M., 17, entered the hospital June 8th with urethravaginitis and was treated with tampons of Ichtyhol dissolved in glycerine (1 to 5). - The urethritis ran a normal course until July 6, when the patient complained of sufferings in the abdomen. - She had them for the previous week, but had made no complaint until the pain became so acute that an injec tion of morphine was needed. - Rectal temperature 100.2. - Tongue coated. - Right side abdominal pain. - In spite of rigid contraction of the rectal muscles there seemed to be a swelling deep down, but the observers were not certain it was not a swelling of the muscles themselves. - Intestinal functions were normal, rectum empty. - An eruption of roseola spots appeared on the body, abdomen and chest, so exactly like those of typhoid that the possibility of this was discussed. - There was also acute pain in muscle of right calf. - This pain persisted th e following day when the abdominal pains had disappeared. - July 9, the right knee was painful, swollen. - At the same time, synovitis of left wrist, dorsal aspect. - Temperature normal. - July 10, very few and slight traces of the eruption. - Right arm the seat of acute sharp pain, especially at the level of the deltoid “V,” deep down near the bone at the insertion of the tendon, (probably a hygroma). - On examining the Achilles tendon, there was pain at the level of the left ankle, nothing to the right at the same level, but the pain was, above all, acute along the inner border of the right tibia to five or six centimeters from the flat surface. - This part was edematous and painfully sensitive. - Another painful spot in the abdo men was behind the right anterior superio r iliac spine and beside the navel (probably muscular). - The urethral discharge contained abundant bacilli beside only gonococci. - Treatment by daily injection of one centigram of Merc-c. - was commenced. - The next day there was sharp fever, coated tongue. - The abdominal pains were muscular. - Trace of albumen in the urine. - The next night there was delirium and nosebleed in the morning. - This case went on to recover. - Another case, also in a girl of seventeen of tubercular history, complicated with syphilis, pres ented the same order of symptoms, along with the nosebleed, hemoptysis, albuminuria, endocarditis with suffocative attacks and violent palpitations, ending in permanent disablement. - These cases may be regarded as provings of Med. - from the homeopathic standpoint. - The rheumatic symptoms are of extreme intensity and Med. - will cure many cases where the symptoms correspond. - Follow ing Burnett, there have been cures of many cases of dysmenorrhea using it. - Gilbert traced rickets to hereditary gonorrhea. - In these cases, there are often glandular enlargements and the patient is better at seaside. - In such cases he gave Med. - When there was syphilitic paresis and the patient was better in the mountains, he gave Syph. - In acute bowel troubles in rickety children he found Med. - of great value. - Thomas Wildes considered that favus, scald -head and ophthalmia tarsi simplex (margins scaly, scurfy, often angry red, falling of lashes) were due to suppressed gonorrhea in one or both parents. - The red, angry condition of skin may extend from face or scalp, down neck and back to perineum and genitals. - A girl, 11, had been treated by many physicians with salves and ointments to the general impairment of her health. - Her face was mottled with a profusion of red scurfy sores, eyelids invo lved and nearly denuded of lashes. - Hairy scalp was one diffuse mass of thick yellow scabs from beneath which oozed a highly offensive mixture of ichor and sebum. - Passing down neck, back, perineum and involving genitals and pubes was a fiery red band as broad as the child's hand, oozing a pale yellow serum that caused the clothing to stick to the body. - Wildes told the mother he could cure the case, but it would certainly get worse the first three months. - This was not objected to. - Med. - 100,000c was given, one dose on the tongue. - The external appearance grew rapidly worse, but appetite, sleep and general health steadily improved and in nine months she was completely well. - In another case, a child, 6, was, since infancy, horribly disfigured with tinea ca pitis. - The scalp was a mass of dense scabs exuding fetid ichor, the only semblance of hair being a few distorted stumps ending in withered roots. - One dose cured in a few months and, when Wildes was writing, the patient was a healthy and extremely talented young lady and the possessor of a luxuriant head of chestnut hair. - Wildes thinks that suppression of favus, when derived from gonorrhea in the father, leads to hydrocephalus, capillary bronchitis, severe teething diarrhea, cholera infantum, etc. - If derived from t he grandfather, sup - pression leads to tuberculosis and lingering diseases. - A fiery red rash develops about the anus in babies a few days old, constipation with hard, dry stools. - “Baby's water scalds it terribly.” Wildes regarded the latent gonorrheal miasm as the true explanation of many of the disease manifestations included by Hahnemann under Psora. - Burnett, in a way, confirmed this, as he traced gout to a sycotic origin. - Wildes regarded Med. - too strong a remedy to give in acute cases whether of gonorrhea , rheumatism or scarlatina, on account of the intensity of the aggravation it is liable to cause, though single doses are often useful when there is a tendency to sinking in dangerous cases of cholera infantum. - Wildes traced to the same source vascular me ningitis in infants and cerebrospinal meningitis. - In the former, the efficacy of Med. - is doubtful, but in the latter it is very efficacious after Cimic. - has allayed the first acute symptoms. - In the convalescent stage, Lyc. - was his chief remedy. - Wildes quoted from old-school authorities the following conditions traceable to latent gonorrhea communicated from husband to wife: ovarian tumors, endometritis, oo phoritis, metritis, parametritis, salpingitis, and even peritonitis. ### Head -
