Folliculinum successfully in candiasis
[Farokh Master]
Folliculinum came in my life at a much later
stage of my practice. Madame De Mattos introduced it
in homoeopathy. Later on Melissa Assilem gave a
beautiful picture, Folliculinum is a potentized form of natural estrogen.
In 1950s Dr. Donald Foubister, a Scottish
homoeopathic physician declared that it is very closely related to Carcinosin.
How do I identify Folliculinum in my practice?
- Folliculinum is one remedy that has lost its
identity (ego), due to strong influence of a dominating or dictatorial person
in his or her life. To some extent this is a very common syndrome observed in
India where females are still considered inferior to males, where females are
still dominated by males, because in India, till date, many females (in rural
parts) are not at all educated.
- Like Nat-f. Nat-br. Med. and Carc.
- Folliculinum is a remedy after abuse, sexual
assault, rape, sexual violence and incest, where the patient has not completely
recovered from the emotional trauma.
- Early and precocious pubescent
- which means that there is an early sexual development and maturity in
young girls and boys. Any problem that arises during puberty, emotional or
physical,
Folliculinum can be used as an intercurrent remedy. However the other symptoms of the
remedy should be confirmed.
- Best covers ailments from menopause and troubles that arise from
menopause.
- Delayed convalescence after any acute illnesses.
- General aggravation before menstruation.
- Difficult emotional bonding with the child, post-delivery problems
like - postnatal depression, postnatal hysteria and postnatal psychosis.
- Strong craving for sugar, wheat and farinaceous food is seen in this
remedy.
- All symptoms > as soon as the menstruation starts.
[Richard Pitt]
Well-known, made from natural
oestrogen. Donald Foubister, first used it. It is an
important medicine in our materia medica
(in the era of ‘oestrogen’ overload, for women
and men). Its most important use is
when there is a NBWS the pill and also for mental states when there is a
history of being dominated. Mostly compared with Carcinosin
in such situations, as well as
Nat-m. Staph. and Sep.
Any situation in which menses are
suppressed or simply suddenly stop should indicate this medicine. The homœopath and author Melissa Assilem
has written extensively on this medicine (and others to do with the
birthing/mothering process). It is indicated in any menstrual conditions
(prolonged bleeding/PMS), pregnancy and postnatal conditions, including
difficulty in bonding with the child or for children who cannot be separated
from the mother. It is also a menopausal medicine and will here be
compared with Lachesis
and Sepia. The PMS symptoms include being weepy, depressed, apathetic, with an
aversion to noise, again similar to Sepia.
In general, the mental state may vary a lot, with great swings from high
to low and a corresponding change in the libido. May be great anxiety, anguish
and depression and
as mentioned, compounded by any sense of domination or oppression by
others. That state, if associated with any type of menstrual or hormonal
imbalance, will indicate Foll. Other conditions may
include Raynaud's syndrome, migraine headaches,
recurrent cystitis and eating disorders. In the latter case, it will often be
compared with milk and sugar medicines (See Assilem’s
book, The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party).
[Fritz Johann Madel]

For example a Homoeopathic preparation of Folliculinum
(a homoeopathic preparation of follicle-stimulating hormone) in the lower
potencies, is stimulating in nature, and is indicated in patients with
amenorrhoea, where there is a shortage or inhibition of the secretion of
follicle stimulating hormone.
Folliculinum in a 7CH potency is used as a
regulator and the 9CH and higher potencies has a restraining effect on the over
activity of the pituitary gland to produce. excess follicle Stimulating
hormone. (Julian, 1982:532)
[Melissa
Assilem]
Folliculinum re-empowers, helping to restore the
individual’s will. It comes up in cases where there has been abuse
(sexual/psychic/physical). The person does not have a sense of their own
authority.

[Christina Ari]
The name oestrogen is derived from Greek. Oistros
means “rutor lust” and genao
“to create”. What we are talking about is a “rut or lust generating substance”.
The oestrone used in homoeopathy is derived from urine. It is a
water-insoluble, white, crystalline substance, triturated to C3.
Path towards the essence
This remedy was proved clinically in detail by Madame De Mattos already in the 1950s. Results can be looked up in Materia Medica of New
Homoeopathic
Remedies by O.A. Julian.
At that time mainly low potencies of the remedy were applied and that
primarily showed positive effects against the so-called Hyperfolliculinia
Syndrome, which
was already described in the year 1936 by Gilbert Dreyfuss.
Whatever caused the syndrome could, at that time, not be fully apprehended,
though.
Real Hyperfolliculinia takes the form of a
glandular-cystic hyperplasia. It is manifested in an anovulatory
cycle which can lead to clinical disorders in terms of for
example a polycystic ovary syndrome, cysts or tumours of female organs that finally leads
towards infertility.
This real hyperfolliculinia can be
histological verified through biopsy and is differentiated from functional Hyperfolliculinia. The later can not be proved
substantially,
but it responds positively to the intradermal
Hirschberg Test, that shows a kind of an allergic reaction, if small doses of
oestrogen are implied subcutaneously.
The primary assumption that the remedy could be of effect in all medical
conditions which result from an excess of or a disturbed level of oestrogen,
was questioned
in an early stage, even by Lea De Mattos
herself, since the relation of pathological symptoms on a physical and an
emotional or psychological level at the same time and
out of the same reason could not be explained in the middle of the past
century.
A full understanding of the complexity of the feedback mechanism between
hypothalamus, hypophysis and the gonads was not
established at that time. Today, we do
know more about the intricate feedback mechanisms of neuro-humoral
transmitters, the so-called messenger substances. Possible connections between
symptoms and
clinical pictures on different organ system levels can be explained more
accurately nowadays. It has been proven that sexual hormones directly influence
the neurotransmitting systems, unless they are even
considered to be neurotransmitter themselves.
It is therefore safe to say that treatment options of Folliculinum, when applied as a homoeopathic remedy, show a
very wide spectrum of indications, exceeding cases of symptomatic, hormone
specific disease patterns.
The essence of the remedy becomes manifest on close inspection of the
effective range of oestrogens.
Primarily they are responsible for sustaining fertility in human
organism.
Therefore oestrogens are responsible for the development, the
functioning, and regulation of female sexual organs.
They dictate the female hormonal balance and they safeguard the dynamics
of an individual balanced ovular cycle of a woman.
The follicular phase is determined by the effect of oestrogens. This euphorigenic effect provokes lust in life to get stimulated
and everyday challenges to be met readily.
This is the aspect of femininity that is widely appreciated and the
image of women in general is reflected that way.
Better insight in the essence of this substance is gained considering
situations where the level of oestrogen is very high, at its summit, for
example during ovulation or when giving birth. In those moments tremendous
elementary powers are arising in a female organism, through a direct and exceeding
effectof oestrogens on the hypothalamus.
At the time around this hormonal peak women feel like high and get an
impressive and fascinating expression, full of effective power.
But simultaneously, somehow like a shade, this circumstance shows
definitely some kind of a repression of the controlled waking consciousness.
It seems like an invisible force is taking possession of the female
rational guidelines, of the ratio itself and like intoxicated, women surrender
to this exceptional state.
Around ovulation lust feelings are at its peak and cohabitation happens
thoughtless once a while. Even female climax never can be more satisfying than
around ovulation.
Ability for self-abandonment and loss of inhibiting mechanisms of
self-control finally facilitate successful fertilization, and as well allow for
an easier bearing of the fear
and pain connected to giving birth, and guarantee for a caring and
devoted mother-child relationship.
Summarizing one can say that these facts are substantial preconditions
for conservation of the evolution of higher species.
On the contrary, at that point, Homo sapiens find himself also
confronted with the drawbacks of hormonal effects, shown as unwanted
pregnancies and hopeless dependencies in relationships.
The analysing of this key effect of oestrogens finally uncovers the
central delusion of this remedy. It can be described as - Being lost in
devotion!
One can say that the ability to selflessly devote oneself to a task or a
relationship is profoundly female and can be attributed to the effect of the
oestrogens.
Fortunately, the physiological sequence of the two-phase female cycle
involves a natural opponent, the so called protective hormone gestagen. The balanced interaction of
both gonad hormones facilitates the development of a multilayered
perception of women, which is characterized by a creative and flexible
organizational ability and natural and consolidating leadership qualities.
Multitasking ability, often come across with women, can be put down to
this fact.
Every healthy woman has her own individual rhythmical cycle which helps
her to find the right measure in relation to empathy, devotion,
self-determination, strength of will, and individuality.
These are the essential prerequisites of a healthy female organism.
Any disturbed or suppressed physiological cycle signifies a missing pace
setting signal of the oestrogens and leads to well known disorders in the sense
of hyperfolliculinia
and its reflecting symptoms, concerning the entire organism, body, sense
and mind.
Oestrogens are the pace maker in a healthy cycle.
Given the fact that women suffering on a disturbed hormonal balance
are not able to fully unfold their
potential creativity on physical and emotional level, a deficiency
based diatheses in relation to the development of an individual
personality structure arises, which characterizes the guiding symptoms of this nosode.
They are manifested in profound unsteadiness and poor ability to
personally dissociate oneself from others because of not being accorded to an
individual rhythm.
To compensate deficient feelings, the person somehow feels obliged to
surrender completely, to finally` nourish the whole world`, until he or she
becomes totally leached out.
This remedy is for someone who is longing for a life in autonomy but
unfortunately he or she is condemned to surrender in dependency. In the end it
seems there is no way out, he or she falls into deep depression or gets
involved into severe illnesses of the body.
Next is a detailed description of Materia Medica of Folliculinum:
Donald Foubister followed Madame De Mattos, examining the remedy.
Publications added by Melissa Assilem have
essentially contributed to the development of contemporary remedy
characteristics, well described in the Synoptic Materia
Medica by Frans Vermeulen.
In her manuscript “Mist or Miasma”, Assilem
was the first to show up the fatal consequences of hormonal abuse, effecting
the following generations, starting in the second half of the past century.
During a period of about thirty years a drug called Diethylstilbestrol
(DES) was given to numerous of women, to prevent miscarriages, in U.K. and
U.S.A., causing a rare
form of cancer, a vaginal clear-cell adenocarcinoma
in daughters of those women. Although these cancers could arise very early,
many were not triggered off until the girl
was exposed to more hormones, e.g. the pill, or another hormonal
treatment. Assilem claimed this to be a case of an
acquired miasma triggering off an inherited one.
Many sons of those women treated with DES suffered on low sperm counts
or abnormally shaped sperms. The “morning after Pill” was made from DES as
well.
In 1999, Folliculinum was proved by Andreas Holling during a seminar in Münster
with Jayesh Shah involving 10 participants.
Complemented by the symptoms derived from this proving and by my own
extensive experiences with the remedy I would like to attempt to more precisely
characterize Folliculinum to achieve a better
understanding of it and facilitate differentiation with other remedies.
Indications prefering the femalesex:
Since Folliculinum can primarily be considered
a female remedy, I would like to start emphasizing on indications concerning
afflictions in preference of the female sex.
In aetiological terms, I will proceed mainly according to clinical
aspects, which correspond with the typical pathognomic
symptom complexes, including all psycho vegetative symptoms, and also include
the side effect symptoms of synthetic hormones.
1. I like to start with indications which can be put down to physiologic
fluctuations of the hormonal balance:
2. Frequently in puberty, the development of the ovulatory
cycle, is characterized by difficulties concerning the individualisation
process leading to womanhood.
It is proved as a remedy for boys as well, unless they are drained and
slow and unable to identify with their selfhood
3. In case of abnormalities at the time of ovulation and the days before
menstruation 1 (afflictions in terms of a premenstrual dysphoric
syndrome or menstrual disorders in general), despite the modality that the
start of the period causes improvement
1. During pregnancy, around birth, during the breastfeeding phase (a
lack in a balanced mother-child relationship, to the point of puerperal
psychosis).
In menopause, the whole spectrum of physical and mental symptoms is
covered.
2. Furthermore, Folliculinum is indicated in
case of functional and organically manifested female diseases1, which can be
attributed to an impaired ovulation cycle, such
as polycystic ovar syndrome, endometriosis, ovary
cysts, yomas, malignomas
and other tumors, depressions and other physical or
mental manifested disorders.
All diseases regarding breasts, should someone remind of Folliculinum 1.
3. Now for iatrogenic causes:
Long lasting hormonal suppression or replacement therapies including all
consequences represent a serious iatrogenic cause, as severe physical side
effects and a higher risk
of developing cancer are proven. That fact shows one of the main
indications for the remedy. It is common practice to treat functional endocrine
disorders with synthetic hormones.
In that way to us homeopaths alarming disorders as acne vulgaris, endometriosis and PCO syndrome are basically
simply suppressed.
Hormonal contraceptives, no matter what kind, totally blocks the
functioning of the ovaries. They are made available too easily to even very
young girls, whose cycle is barely developed yet. Suppression and deception of one`s own balancing mechanisms often leads to an ovular
cycle not able to regenerate itself, which may cause infertility.
This drastic consequence, the side and after effects of contraceptives
such as widespread urinary tract infections, migraine etc. can successfully be
treated with Folliculinum.
First stop suppressive drugs and than prescribe rhythmically repeated
medications of Folliculinum, because oestrogens are
the pace maker in an ovulatory cycle, this is a
simple way to induce regeneration!
This method has proven to be very successful in my experience, in the sense
of functional therapy, in intervals, supplemented by the treatment with a
Simile.
Modern medicine`s answer to infertility is
further hormonal treatment and finally in vitro fertilization, which most often
needs to be repeated causing severe symptomatic
and functional disorders consequently, the children procreated this way
may suffer form problems and diseases. Here you can follow a severe miasmatic pressure already!
Antihormone therapy against hormone-receptor
positive carcinomas has lots of side effects, can clearly be made more
tolerated by rhythmically repeated medications of Folliculinum
C200. Some women respond to weekly, others to doses given every two weeks.
Now I am going to talk about gender-free symptoms and indications, as
well as the modalities of this
homoeopathic remedy:

Holling, 6 Journal of classical Homeopathy, 7 Ari.
Trias of symptoms: Neuropsychic
symptoms-symptoms of female genitals including mammae
- various sensitivity for pain.
Mind/mental/emotional symptoms:
Delusion, gets lost in devotion.
Results in loss of individual creativity. We have to look out for
patients, permanently trying hard to do their best, to express their true
selves to find a personal identity.
They are not sure about themselves. They prove their autonomy, but
always remain in a trying position. Behind this lack of self confidence, we
discover forsaken feelings
and a disposition to dependency.
She feels she is controlled by another. She is out of sorts with her
rhythms.
She is living out someone else`s expectations.
She loses her will. She over-estimates her energy reserves. She is full of self
denial. She becomes a rescuer, addicted to rescuing people. She becomes
drained. She has become a doormat. She has forgotten who she is. She has no
individuality, she looses sense of herself, she may totally lose herself in her
relationships.
„Pressure of a personality or a group on an individual; a dominant or
possessive parent, friend or marriage partner; and certainly where there is
intolerant religious dominance“.
Puts enormous efforts in order to give her best.
Disorders through paternalism, over a long time.
„ Pressure through conditions on work, also persons that have worked
over a period until exhaustion and seem to be unable to recover or to react to
a subscripted homoeopathic remedy“.
„Patients (under extreme pressure) not responding to homoeopathy“.
„There is a very strong link here with Carcinosinum
and it is not surprising, that Folliculinum works
well when Carcinosinum is indicated but does not act.
Cancer cells have lost their identity and the ability to differentiate
or individualize”.

Aversion against own husband, children.
Falls into a feeling of emptiness, as soon the children leave home or
she loses her job.
Has a feeling of not being able to finish things.
Weak concentration if trying to do more things at a time, this irritates
him.
Can only do one thing at the time, or as less a possible.
Makes things in series, not simultaneously.
Confused, if too many mental impressions at the same time.
Deficiency in concentration and fear when driving a car, fears loss of
control.
Aggressive verbal attacks when getting Lrequirements.
Losing herself in details.
Avoids stress.
Longing for rest or for action alternate with need for rest.
Cancels appointments and dates, escapes.
Weird slowness or agitated hurry.
Feels overstrained, drained.
Territorial confusion, loses perspective.
Incapacity to keep the overview.
Generalities and clinical indications:
History of abuse whether sexual, physical or psychological.
Fixed ideas on sexual matters.
Lack of libido or increased libido.
Eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia).
General risk for dependency.
Serotonin deficiency syndrome, depressions and psychosis, on people, who
cannot find boundaries.
Burnout syndrome
Suicidal tendency.
Chronique fatigue syndrome.
Immune deficiency syndroms.
Dorothy Cooper describes a very interesting aspect:
“Pressure in adults of continued ill health or slow recovery after recurrent
or severe infection. This covers (in my experience) young men after glandular
fever or
presenting with what is becoming identified as post viral syndrome. In
these cases I always start by using Carcinosinum, but
add Folliculinum if the Carcinosinum
does not achieve a lasting response. The same applies to patients not
responding after cortisone treatment“.
My personal experience confirms a greater incidence for Folliculinum, since I can differentiate in a better way
between Carcinosinum and Folliculinum.
The development of an immune mediated disease connected with a viral
infection.
Almost every multiple sclerosis patient shows a mononucleosis disease in

Dream after taking Folliculinum C200 once: She
is cooking a feast for the whole family. As the meal is finished, the door bell
rings, the guests arrive.
She panics, she is not showered, not combed, not dressed yet, she now
flees into the bathroom. She hears her brother saying amused: „It`s like always”,
she is never ready on time, she is not able to organise her time.“ She
is in the bathroom, she is in despair and stressed as she tries to get ready,
she becomes aware
that she can`t find her own image looking in
the mirror.
She can`t recognise herself, she has no
identity.
The amount and complexity of symptoms points out the importance of the
remedy.

First I want to talk about the necessary differentiation of both the nosodes Carcinosinum and Folliculinum:
Carcinosinum tries hard to be obliging and
fulfil duties properly to avoid conflicts. The aim is to avoid its own
shortcomings, his shade to be seen as a possible form
of expression of being.
Out from this avoidance life is not perceived in its entirety. This
inner separation leads to illness.
Carcinosinum refers to a neglected self, a lack
of integration of negative aspects of being. Self is compulsively sacrificed,
an expression of an unsurpassable conflict
mirroring the struggle` against it self `, leading primarily into
demolition.
Folliculinum excessively surpasses its obliging
and dutiful behaviour to be able to better express and be aware of its own
self. There is no relation to its own individual rhythms of life, life only
functions in complete dependency.
Folliculinum already has lost its `self. The
attempt to compensate by encountering life with utmost devotion and
selflessness leads into deeper deficiency and finally
into a state of reduced ability to regenerate. This picture mirrors a
struggle `for itself`, leading primarily into a chronic form of suffering.
Now let me compare Folliculinum to other close
or related remedies:
Discerning nosodes, it is essential to find
out whether a deficiency based diatheses is present or not.
Thyreoidinum as well as Medorrhinum
can be very similar.
Animal remedies follow sorted according to similarity.
Concerning female remedies De Mattos called Lachesis to be the closest remedy, finding the following:
excitability # depression, extreme sensitivity to contact,
> by menstrual flow.
In Folliculinum we do not find:
Laterality, or aggravation from sleep, but, on the contrary, aggravation
during ovulation.
M. Assilem: Lachesis
does the draining, Folliculinum gets drained.
Elaps and Cenchris are
close related as well as other snake remedies.
Sepia is very close, but the cycle modalities are stronger in Folliculinum. Sea remedies depending to rhythm, in general
relate, as Calc. and Asterias rubens.
Plants: Lilium tigrinum,
Staphisagria, Ignatia, Aristolochia, Pulsatilla and
Cyclamen are close.
Minerals: Natrium muriaticum,
Samarium muriaticum, all the muriaticums
and lacticums could be compared as well as other
Lanthanides and remedies out of
the silver-serie.
Granit has aggravation at ovulation. Kalium carbonicum shows the weakness.
How to prescribe?
Over the past ten years of intense studies with this remedy, functional
and miasmatic prescriptions of Folliculinum
have become more common to me.
In this way (complemented by a Simile) the nosode
accompanies chronic recoveries.
This method has proven to be successful with many patients and resulted
in lasting recovery.
Foubister already experienced good effects
giving Folliculinum three or four days before an
individually selected constitutional remedy.
Exclusive prescription provides a solution with iatrogenic induced cycle
disorders, as already explained before. According to its properties I
rhythmically administer the remedy in case of chronic states, which can be seen
in connection with hormonal disorders, mostly in C potencies; the level of the
potency is always chosen according
to the individual case.
If the remedy is to be prescribed solely according to the simile nature,
the most satisfying recoveries can be observed. In such cases, fluxion- and
Q-potencies have
proven to be successful.
Folliculinum and Miasma:
I would like to talk about the superior meaning of Folliculinum
in a miasmatic sense. In 2010 the birth control pill
celebrated its 50th anniversary. 3 generations of women
in industrialized countries have made use of it. Millions of women have
avoided experiencing their own individual female rhythm, the basis of their
creativity, and do not realize that they are victims of the drug.
In striving for liberation from paternalism, they haven fallen prey to
deceitful carelessness, which eventually leads to taking possession of female
sex again.
This attempt to escape is understandable, taking the role which has been
imposed on women over countless generations by the dogmas of world religions.
Women have been reduced to the caring form of expression of their being,
giving birth to and taking care of ten or even more children, definitely
missing a steady cycle.
They were for the most part refused to be seen as rational beings and
therefore not considered to have leading capacity.
Thousands of years of suppression of individual and creative
possibilities for development of women all around the world can primarily be
seen as a taking of possession
of femality.
Folliculinum therefore is an expression of lost matriarchy,
combining a desperate strife for rehabilitation. The general impact on our
health induced by increasingly incontrollable hormone substitution and genetic
engineering in animal breeding, though leading to an appreciated worldwide rise
in production, can not be neglected either. Hormones pass our food, are
excreted through our liver and kidneys, go back into the water supply and are
reintroduced into the circle, as they cannot be filtered out. We are under a
constantly growing hormonal exposure.
Out of this hormonal pollution and in connection with taking synthetic
hormones over centuries, hormonal misuse has become part of our lives and has
to be considered a mayor risk to our health at present and even more in the
future.
The rise in breast cancer and cervical dysplasia is alarming. In Austria
one out of eight women develops a malignant breast tumour. The fertility rate
in industrialized countries is constantly decreasing symptoms such as
endometriosis and PCO syndrome are on the rise.
Not only women are afflicted by this phenomenon, disorders in
spermatogenesis probably induced by oestrogen can be observed with men. The
sperms are too slow, too
small in number, or deformed. Whether environmental pollution or the
taking of the pill by their mothers before pregnancy is the cause can not
absolutely be differentiated.
In this context, I would also like to mention the Burn Out Syndrome
which affects both sexes and has been on the increase over the past years. It
is terrible to see how many people suffer from chronic stress.
People who have self-sacrificed themselves in tasks and duties and are
terribly striving to keep up control mechanisms, who have forgotten to perceive
and live out their capacities, have definitely lost touch with their individual
rhythm of life.
Folliculinum ought to be an option in these
cases, a remedy which is mirrored noticeably in the regretful state of our
civilized society.
Assuming a miasma in general to be an influence that induces illness and
is hidden behind common pathologic symptoms which are signs of a disrupted
force of life, it is legitimate in this case, to speak of a new miasma that has
to be taken very seriously.
What we are talking about here and now, is neither a simple iatrogen, nor a sex-specific nor a simple carcinogen
miasma.
I would like to point out that this is a distinct folliculin
miasma, which can either be acquired or inherited. What we are dealing with is
a so-called adapted or chronic cancerogen miasma,
which primarily leads to degenerative disorders to sign up for reduced
regenerative properties.
Coming to this point I hope for a broad acceptance of my mission, also
to do justice to the remedy which has proven helpful to mankind.
Folliculinum helps to restore and reempower the patients. Finally they are able to develop a
new identification of selfhood, which is needed to re-establish their
individual rhythm of life- the chance to move out of this destructive and
degenerating miasma.
This remedy is of big importance and should be considered in the same
order as Carcinosinum or Medorrhinum.
I`d like to say thank you to all the people who
have paved the way like for example Lea De Mattos, Othon Andre Julian, Donald Foubister,
Melissa Assilem, Dorothy Cooper, Frans
Vermeulen, Andreas Holling
as well as my Austrian colleagues Jutta Gnaiger Rathmanner, who has
contributed a lot to the topic already, and Günter Mattitsch,
who
I owe the initial fruitful personal contact with the remedy. A big thank
you also to Dr. Srinivasa Rao
Nyapati and his team, I asked for collaboration. He
and his team recently started a complex study on Folliculinum
in Hyderabad, India, a kind of intercultural comparison. Its results are
eagerly anticipated. Last but not lest a big thank you to Marina Afanasieva, who invited me to Riga, and Reinhard
Flick, who kept encouraging me to take on this invitation.

The efficacy of a complementary formulation of Folliculinum
D6 and Five-Flower Formula™, in the treatment of menopausal symptoms.
This double-blind placebo controlled study investigated the efficacy of
a complementary formulation of Folliculinum D6 and
Five-Flower Formula™ (Folliculinum D6,
Rock Rose, Impatiens, Clematis, Star of Bethlehem, Cherry Plum) in the
treatment of menopausal symptoms in terms of participants’ perception of the
treatment.
This formula is currently available commercially as an unregistered
product trading under the name of Femme Rosa. This formula was developed by Dr Maharaj, and is prepared by Natura®.
The formula consists of Folliculinum D6 and
Five-Flower Formula™.
A total of 60 female participants who were going through natural
menopause and currently experiencing menopausal symptoms took part in the
study. They were randomly assigned according to the randomization sheet drawn
up by the supervisor, 29 participants to the treatment group and 31 to the
placebo group.
An improvement was demonstrated
in both treatment and placebo groups after treatment yet this improvement was
not statistically significant.
The only symptoms that improved in the treatment group were the hot
flushes and psychological symptoms however, there were no significant
differences between the treatment and placebo group.
It was concluded that the complementary formulation of Folliculinum D6 and Five-Flower Formula™ was not
statistically effective in the treatment of menopausal symptoms in terms of the
participants’ perception of the treatment.
Folliculinum: Name is derived from folliculin
(a.k.a. oestrone), which is a natural hormone secreted by the ovaries.
Biologically, the smallest quantity of folliculin
necessary to produce vaginal signs of oestrus (heightened sexual arousal) in a
castrated female rat is 140g by subcutaneous injection at 3 hourly intervals
(Allen and Doisy’s test). It is a white crystalline substance, insoluble in
water. The first 3 attenuations are made by trituration,
the base unit
being 140g (Julian, 1979).
Folliculinum is primarily a female remedy. The
clinical picture of Folliculinum is as follows:
Mental symptoms that indicate this remedy are panic attacks, mood swings
that alternate between aggression and depression, hypersensitivity to noise,
heat and contact, depression, anxiety, hyperactivity and forgetfulness (Assilem, 1991).
Other mental symptoms include pre-menstrual migraines, sexual
hyper-excitability, instability and anguish which < at night (Julian, 1979).
General symptoms include hypersensitivity to heat and contact, need for
fresh air, weight gain without excessive eating, cycle irregularities, hot
flushes, night sweats, dizziness, fainting, changes in
libido and water retention (Assilem,
1991).
Local symptoms are swollen breasts < touch, bloody discharge or
spotting, vaginal dryness, drawing and burning pains (ovaries) (Assilem, 1991).
Indications:
Menopause
Premenstrual symptoms
Candida albicans
Ovarian cysts
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Menstrual problems
Cardiovascular disease
Raynaud’s
disease
Eating disorders
Post-natal problems
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis
Fibroids
History of abuse, whether sexual,
physical or psychological (Assilem 1991)
The Materia Medica
of Folliculinum covers a wide range of physical and
mental symptoms regarding menopause such as :
Cycle irregularities
Flooding
Hot flushes
Hyperactive
Night sweats
Air hunger
Dizziness and faintness
Abdominal heaviness
Fibroids
Folliculaemia
Vaginal dryness
Slow movement and spacey thinking
Hypersensitive to noise, heat and
touch
(Assilem,
1991)
The conclusion reached in this study is that the complementary
formulation of Folliculinum D6 and Five-Flower
Formula™, (Folliculinum D6, Rock Rose, Impatiens,
Clematis, Star of Bethlehem,
Cherry Plum) is ineffective in the treatment of menopausal symptoms in terms of
the participants’ perception of the treatment.
