MONOGRAM
·
Exudative,
Scrofulous, Backward, Senile, Degenerative, Sclerotic, Tuberculous
·
A
sclerotic and glandular Baryta, scrofulo-sycotic; scrofulous wormy
children. Both extremes of life: children, aged. Stunted/senile but more
physically than mentally (opp. to Bar-c.); and with unmitigated,
rather heightened, sex (perverted, Bufo).
·
Children
may be backward (like Bar-c.) or even mongol, with tonsil or glandular
problems, worms, Pott’s disease, low hearing. Phthisical conditions. Scrofula
is a major cause of dwarfism. “Mentally weak, physically anxious, sexually
excited.” – Pulford.
Nerves:
·
Increased
irritability of nerves. General physical anxiety.
· Pains: Bruised; burning; tenderness of parts; stiffness. Also, painlessness (dysentery); more heaviness than real pain. Pains in fits and starts.
·
Numbness;
in fingers (toes). Tingling.
· Weakness: Predominant. A general feeling of lassitude and profound and progressive debility, esp. in morning, even a faint sinking feeling, a syncope, a paralytic weakness debarring ascending; bathing or even urinating are too much. A general heaviness. Lax flabby muscles. Feeble peristalsis. Limbs weak and tremulous; legs weak and stiff; tottering gait; increasing muscular weakness. Sudden or constant, vertiginous debility and mental prostration, from increased pulse-pressure. Lameness, paresis, after influenza, diphtheria.
·
Convulsive
trembling (Gels.). Twitching general or local. Periodically returning
convulsive fits with jerking, tossing about, stiffness or insensibility of
body, shaking like electric shocks (Arg-m.);with headache, deafness,
vomiting and burning in stomach, attacks of dyspnea, great sexual excitement (Stram.),
consciousness intact. Epilepsy, periodical fits, clonic spasms, with imbecility
and sexual excitement. Jerking of limbs; during sleep; periodical. Cramps in
toes. Hyperaesthesia of nerves with debility (like Sil.).
· Paralysis: With icy coldness of body; voluntary muscular power gone, but perfectly sensible; one sided, more often left, (but with aphasia). Paraplegia. Pseudo-hypertrophic muscular paralysis. Internal, of involuntary muscles e.g. peristaltic. Respiration, catching (arrested).
· Sensation of internal fulness.
· Tension: In head, face, stomach, abdomen, knees, skin. Congestions. Distension of blood-vessels. (No venosity).
Tissues:
·
Glands:
Scrofulous; inflamed, enlarged, indurated, even ulcerating lymphatic and other
glands; salivary (parotid, sub-maxillary), mesenteric, pancreas, inguinal
(buboes after suppressed gonorrhea), testes, ovaries (later atrophying),
cervical, (prostate left for Bar-c. and thyroid better covered by Bar-i.).Both
Barytas and Muriaticums are absorbents and Bar-m. therefore
doubly so, recalling here Calc-f. also.
·
Tubes:
Stenosis (esophagus, ends of stomach, rectum, bronchial).
·
Catarrhs:
eyes, ears, nose, throat, bowels, vagina, larynx, bronchial.
·
Discharges:
Smell like rotten cheese; purulent.
·
Dropsy:
After scarlatina. Swelling of hands and feet (acromegaly).
· Blood: Hemorrhages. Extravasations (Arn.).Leucocytosis. (Threatened) Apoplexy, with buzzing in ears. Chlorosis; with anemia, esp. in scrofulous constitutions.
· Growths: Ovarian tumors with a scrofulous taint. An induration below stomach causing paroxysmal dyspnea from pressure on diaphragm. Hard (cancerous) tumors of mammae. Goitre. (Lipoma).
·
Degenerative
changes or organic lesions: Vascular degeneration, arteriosclerosis.
·
Multiple
sclerosis: Of brain, cord, liver, heart, stomach, lungs. Fatty metamorphosis,
followed by calcification. Cerebral softening belongs to (tertiary) syphilis,
hence better
·
left
for Bar-c. or Aur-m. Our remedy may develop along any of the
three lines: nerves, glands or blood vessels.
·
Emaciation:
Phthisical; of thighs, nates (Lach.); of aged; of children.
Mind:
·
Anxiety;
with any pain, nausea, retching, vomiting; with oppression of chest; a general
physical anxiety; apprehension felt in pit of stomach.
·
Mental
alienation (imbecility, mania or insanity) with enlarged glands, increasing
muscular weakness and strong sexual excitement (even satyriasis; or nymphomania
with dejection and dread of men like Bufo).
·
Childishness
(not very apparent, but) with aversion to play, to strangers; backward,
semi-idiotic, shy, timid, dazed.
· Suspicious. Fickle minded. Averse to bath, light. (Sex maniacs). Censorious. Introvert. Fastidious. Infection phobia. Indolence. Weak memory.

Relations:
·
Muriaticumss are acutes of Carbs (excepting perhaps
Natrums).
·
Complementary
to: Ambr., Arg-n., Arn., Ars., Bell., Con., lod., Kali-c., Kali-i., Lach.,
Lyc., Merc., Nux-v., Psor., Puls.
·
Aur-m. concentrates
on nerves, Bar-i. on glands (including mammae) and is syphilitic,
while Bar-m. is scrofulo-sycotic and emphasizes both nerves, glands
and arteries too.
·
Pathology
in Bar-m. prevails over symptoms (like Plb-met.), hence
repertorization is likely to miss this very officious remedy.
·
Bar-m. is
chronic of both Caust. and Con. Similar but much
deeper-acting than Con. which it complements in glandular affections.
·
Useful
after Arn. in extravasation of blood (like Sul-ac.).
·
A
blend of Bar-c. (shyness, slowness, childishness, backward,
glandular), Nat-m. (sensitive; introvert; hot; emaciation; phthisical)
and Bufo (childish; backward; epileptic; sexually excited; unsocial).
· Acute of Bar-c. in tonsillitis. Calc-f. is similar.
·
Shares
similarity with its fat brother Bar-c. But Bar-m. is less
shy, less slow but more sensitive, sexually excited and epileptic than Bar-c.
· Hydr.-Con.-Bar-m. is a promising trio, as also Ambr.-Caust.-Bar-m., Ambr.–Arg-n.–Bar-m. or Nux-v.- Lyc.- Bar-m.
