{"id":18164,"remedy_name":"Ruta Graveolens (HMT)","remedy_type":"Remedy","alternative_names":["Rue-Bitterwort"],"miasm":"Tubercular Miasm","temperament":"Neutral","aggravation_time":"Neutral\/Anytime","keynote_indications":"Ruta 605\n\nRuta is derived from a herb called Ru e-Bitterwort.  This herb has also\nbeen utilised in many other conven tional medicines.  Its seeds have\nalso been previously used to neutralize the ill effects of many poisons.\nThe homoeopathic remedy is extr acted after grinding the herb,\nincluding its root.\n\nRuta, like Arnica, is one of those remedies used in the treatment of\ninjuries.  It is especially useful in the treatment of bone injuries .\nWhen a part of the body is subjected to unusually heavy pressure,\nload or pull and becomes stiff , then Ruta (like Rhus Tox and\nMillefolium) can also be very usef ul.  Regarding it s effects on such\ninjuries, Ruta resembles Rhus Tox a lot.  The symptoms of Ruta\naggravate from both cold and heat.  Athletes who develop heart\nproblems under severe physical strain may well be treated with Ruta\nand Aconite combined.  In workers doing fine work, the eyesight\nbecomes badly affected.  The eyes feel tired, the eyesight becomes\ndim and there is a feeling of pressure  and pain in the eyes, especially\nthe left eye.  The eyes quiver.  Ruta may indeed be very useful in the\ntreatment of this eye problem.\n\nDue to heavy strenuous exercises un dertaken over a long period, the\nhearts of some athletes may become enlarged .  It is a very common\nnotion that the heart once enlarged ca nnot revert to its normal size.  In\nhomoeopathy however, it is possible to  control the size of the heart.\nThe stretched out muscle fibres of the heart become elastic once again\nand retract to the original size.  Ruta and Rhus Tox behave very\nsimilarily to each other in this respect.\n\nOnce nerve fibres become injured , common conventional nerve\ntonics are of no avail.  Even Arnica  may not be effective.  However,\nRuta and Rhus Tox are found to be extremely effective.  Hypericum is\nalso very useful in the treatment of the injury to the nerves. Accidental\ncuts on the bone during surgery can heal very well w ith Ruta. Ruta\nexpedites the healing of broken bones  (fractures) by revitalizing the\nouter coverings of the bone (perio steum).  The combination of Ruta,\nCalcarea Phos and Symphytum proves  very effective.  Calcarea Phos\nRuta 606\nworks on the inner substance of th e bone while Ruta and Symphytum\ninvigorate the periosteum.  In case the injury is fresh, Arnica 30 may\nalso be included.\n\nIn general, Ruta is indicated in the treatment of patients who are not\nanaemic but who tend to bleed.  Ruta is useful in the treatment of\nvarious fevers , neuralgias and a sub-normally functioning stomach.\nThe Ruta patient is very sensitive and easily enraged.  The legs feel\nweak and unable to carry the weight  of the body.  The limbs feel tired\nand painful; especially there is pain in the back (upper and lower\nparts, both).  These are the salient features of Ruta. The severity of\npain is easier on lying down flat, how ever generally the pain is worse\nwith rest and better for movement.  Rest aggravates while movement\nameliorates the pain. There is pain over the mastoid processes (the\nprominences behind the ears) and heaviness in the ears.  The facial\nbones hurt.  The gums are sore  and bleed easily.  At about midnight,\nthe patient wakes up due to coughing , tightness of the chest and\nheaviness.  The trachea hurts as if physically injured.\n\nRuta has already been mentioned under ankle sprains .  Ruta is no\ndoubt very famous for the treatment of this condition.  Ruta is also\nuseful in the treatment of pain in the bones of the feet  that makes\nwalking difficult, the feeling of formation of sores on the feet, wrist\nsprains, as well as the stiffness of the fingers.\n\nAdjuvant: Calcarea Carb\nAntidote: Camphor\nPotency: 30 to 200","modalities":"","symptoms_by_system":[],"schema_version":"1.0","api_provider":"Allahshafi"}
