A Drug from Hindoostan:
Contains a lot of magnesium as its constituent. This is one of my very
favorite medicines for dysmenorrhoea (those women who get severe dysmenorrhoea
and their menstrual
flow may be either copious or scanty. Excessive leucorrhoea that may be
either watery or thick. The constitution where you should think of Abroma radix
is in thin
women, it is not for the obese patients and thermally they are chilly
patients.
The physiological action of the remedy in cardiology is that it reduces
and depresses the heart action and slows down the respiration.
It destroys the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood and has a
destructive influence on the red blood corpuscle producing pallor. The blood
and urine become darker and
if this particular action is prolonged on the human body then patient
suffers from severe anemia, cardiac failure and an ultimately develops cardiac
shock.
The best place to read the effect of this remedy on the heart and
respiration is an article given by Dr. H.C. Gordinier from Boston in the
journal Boston Medical and
Surgical Journal and Lancet where they have reported a poisoning of this
particular remedy and its effects on human being who have consumed this as a
poison.
In olden days this remedy was used to control the temperature and to
reduce the articular and rheumatic pain that followed influenza. I have not
much used this remedy for
the above indication in my practice.
The most important areas where I have been seen the usefulness of this
remedy is depression of the heart and respiration, hypertension, cyanosis,
collapse.
The collapse is characterized by tachycardia and hypotension.
There is also an increased susceptibility towards the cold.
What you should look for in patients who need this remedy in cardiac
cases:

Acetanilidum a combination of Acetic acid and Aniline, both in use in
homoeopathy.
Although these 3 remedies, especially Anilinum and Acetanilidum, have many
symptoms in common, they are nevertheless so different that they cannot be
simply interchanged. Acetanilidum is a homoeopathic medicine, which is a
derivative of Analine, and it is a white micaceous powder and known as phenyl
acetamide or it is
also known as antifebrin.

and depresses the heart action and slows down the respiration.

What you should look for in patients who need this remedy in cardiac
cases:
Eyes look pale and the pupils are dilated.
Face is pale and tired.
Oedema of the feet and ankle.
Presence of albumin in routine urine test.
Severe hypothermia.
The heart beats will be weak and irregular.
In my practice I have seen many patients with cardiac failure developing
lot of respiratory complaints characterized by severe suffocation + clenching
of hands or clench anybody around him, this type of suffocation of respiration
is an important keynote of this remedy.
Another important indication of this remedy is thrombosis of lower extremities.
I have seen many cases where the heart pumping is very weak in old people and a
result
they suffer from thrombosis of the lower limb, the lower limb is
enlarged, oedematous and Colour Doppler shows thrombosis.
Examination of routine urine may also show acetone, epithelial cells,
and cast.
Pulford: presence of hypertension in those people who are morally
depraved. Depraved means a corrupted or perverted individual and I have not so
far used this indication
in treatment of high blood pressure but it is worth using. Suffocation
in respiration as if the diaphragm had ceased to function and one must continue
to breathe on ones
own account as a leading indication of this remedy. Another clinical
indication worth understanding is that they are usually born tired, they
usually have no stamina,
they will come, sit down and then they just lie down on the sofa.
It is actually not a depression but it is an exhaustion which is very
similar to Chin. Mur-ac. Stann-met. These people are anaemic, pale, exhausted
with low blood pressure,
low pulse rate, temperature extremely low, and the whole organism is
functioning at a very low gear.
I had a case of a one year old child suffering from Fallot’s tetralogy;
he had excessive cyanosis without any other indication. I tried to get symptoms
but nothing happened. My first prescription was Carb-v. 6 C gave no relief and
that same day I advised CBC count to the mother because I thought that child
looks little pallor and it was found
to be anaemia so in the combination of anaemia with the cyanosis I gave
Acetanilidum 3 C, just one grain 2x daily and slowly and slowly the cyanosis of
the child improved.
It is very difficult to differentiate this remedy from Carb-v.
both these remedies can have:
MIND - STUPOR
HEAD - Pain < exertion of the eyes
FACE - pale
URINE - ALBUMINOUS
RESPIRATION - DIFFICULT < after exertion
CHEST - HEART failure
GENERAL - lack of vital heat
GENERAL - CYANOSIS
GENERAL - external dropsy
GENERAL - PULSE weak
GENERAL - THROMBOSIS
Repertorium:
Depresses heart, respiration and blood
pressure, lowers temperature.
Cyanosis
and collapse. Increased susceptibility to cold. Destroys red blood corpuscles;
pallor.
Head: Enlarged
sensation. Fainting. Moral depravity.
Eyes: Pallor of
optic discs, contracted visual field and shrinking retinal vessel; mydriasis.
Heart: Weak,
irregular, with blue mucous membranes, albuminuria, oedema of feet/ankles.
Allerlei: Used as a sedative and antipyretic
for various forms of headache and neuralgia
in doses of 1 to 3 grains.
