Recent studies have shown that Helix pomatia Lectin specifically binds
Nacetylgalactosamine glycans, which are prominent in cancer progression. This
substance used as a marker in determining metastatic progression.
Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the
Live snails (Helix pomatia L.)
are boiled in order to extract the body of the animal. The shells are washed,
brushed, and dried in an oven at 150 C. Then they are progressively calcinated
in an electric oven at 850°C. to obtain a very white residue. The powdered
residue is odorless and practically insoluble in water and in alcohol; it
contains not less than 95.0% CaO (m.w.
56.08). It should be stored in a well closed container.

Previous Homeopathic Study of Helix tosta
Overview
Helix tosta is described in the homeopathic literature in the following
sources: Allen, Boericke, Clarke, Van Zandvoort. What is described reflects the
tubercular nature of the remedy with symptoms of hemoptysis, dry cough worse at
night preventing sleep, dyspnea worse ascending stairs, continuous hoarseness,
difficult scanty expectoration, failing strength and night sweats. Several
cases have been reported in the literature of cures of Tuberculosis using this
medicine. Clarke states that snails have a long history of being useful in the
treatment of tuberculosis and that this is why the homeopathic medicine was
obtained. The cardinal symptom on which the remedy was prescribed was
hemoptysis in tubercular conditions.
The remedy was never proven. Grimmer states: “These cases quoted from
Clarke indicate the value of the remedy and the need of proving it, that we
might better apply another weapon in our fight against the “great white
plague” (tuberculosis).
Inclusion in the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States
The following are instructions on the preparation of the remedy in the
Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States:
Live snails (Helix pomatia L.)
are boiled in order to extract the body of the animal. The shells are washed,
brushed, and dried in an oven at 150 C. Then they are progressively calcinated
in an electric oven at 850° C. in order to obtain a very white residue. The
powdered residue is odorless and practically insoluble in water and in alcohol;
it contains not less than 95% CaO (m.w.
56.08). It should be stored in a wellclosed container.
[Dr Tod Rowe]
Helix tosta was chosen as a remedy to examine the healing qualities of
the mollusc family that have never been well explored. Snails are well known
for their healing properties and serve as rich archetypes in the mythic
imagination.
The strongest sensation experienced during the proving was that of
heaviness or armor. Heaviness like a load or as of lead. This was experienced
both on the head and on the back. The provers describe the following;
Feeling weighed down emotionally
The sensation is that I have this helmet and this thing on my back that
I can’t get off and it is holding me back; like I am stuck in the mud and it
takes forever for things to happen or manifest;
Like something stuck to my back on both sides; cannot get it off;
restricting like the helmet on the head; as if I have a permanent back pack;
stronger on the back; it feels hard; restricting; > resting on the couch; it
is a burden and too heavy; holds me back; cannot move; stuck in the mud; have
to wait for something to help me.
I realize I have thicker skin; it is like body armor; not very
emotionally affected
I felt contained as if there were actual boundaries around my body; like
a thick layer all around my body and head; it felt like a bold line.
Very, very emotional; had to draw a family tree for one of my classes
and I choked up thinking of family; emotions make me feel sad as if a rope were
tied around my waist and chest like I cannot breathe. Dream: I was following my
friend to her house; I had to cross a small pool of water; had a backpack with
me and was having to practically be a contortionist to get around with it. (7)
Dream: I am in a store and looking at a sleeping bag that the bottom
inflates to the body; I get in and it is really uncomfortable lying on another
body; I can’t buy it. (7)
This sensation of weight or armor is connected to the source which has a
shell that surrounds it, providing both protection and security but also
restricts movement and slows the animal down.
Although the shell provides security, it is a place that is experienced
as boring and not fully alive. For example:
Dream: My children said I was boring and that I need to have more fun;
all three kept repeating it. (3)
Dream: I was told to move out of my comfort zone. (19)
The state without the shell or security was described as follows:
Dream: Initially I am helping this patient on the phone giving him
instructions regarding his treatment. Next I see this guy starting to look for
something. I ask what do you want so I can find it. He does not say anything,
then others come and take me and they have taken everything. It seems I had
been asleep when they took everything. I know these people very well. I cry and
beg them not to take me away. Then a friend comes and says do not cry and you
are OK and we sit. I am crying and say I want to transform myself so my true
self comes out and also I can see the true self in others. She tries to console
me and then this other guy comes and they begin to take me away. I do not know
where they are taking me and they have taken everything, like I am completely
stripped of everything. I am also hoping that this is a dream I am having but
it does not seem to be in the dream. Everything is taken including me and I do
not know where they will take me or what they will do to me. As I was writing
the dream in my bed I was hot and getting sweaty. The temperature is cold now
so the sweat was of nervousness nature.
(8)
General Themes
The following general themes were noted through the proving:
Anger at being treated badly
Animals
Babies/Pregnancy
Buildings
Courage/Confidence
Moistness/Slime
Money
Sexuality increased
Slowness
Weighed down/back pack
Youth
Anger at Being Treated Badly
This was quite strong and seen in many of the provers. One prover
described it as feeling “angry at being used and abused”. Another described it
as “red hot” anger. This anger could be channeled into both rage and violence.
It manifested through the following:
Abusive
Cursing
Defiant
indignation
Irritability
Malicious
Rage
Reproaches others
Rudeness
Sudden anger
Violence
Much of the anger stemmed from not feeling appreciated and anger at
injustice and abuse in the world. Many of the provers described anger at
abusive men.
The response to the anger was a desire to be isolated and left alone.
Babies/Pregnancy
It was not clear why this was a strong theme in the proving as Roman
snails do not care for their young. There were issues about wanting to get
pregnant and grief that they could not. This grief was experienced “as if there
was a rope tied around my waist and chest like I cannot breathe”. Some
caretaking issues with babies were noted. Multiple babies or children were
often noted.
Buildings
There were many dreams of buildings and purchasing or selling buildings.
Windows in the buildings were a particular theme.
Dream: A woman is telling me she has to lose her house and land for a
whale that is coming in from the ocean; she lived on a piece of triangular land
that was inbetween two tributaries that flowed into the ocean. (7)
Dream: I was in a large restaurant that was shaped like a spiral inside;
it was an old building but finely constructed of wood; there was much fine
carving. (7)
Dream: My husband and I were buying beachfront property; touring a house
valued at $1.4 million; We were seriously interested in buying and indicated
that to the real estate agent; the price did not phase us. (9)
Dream: My husband and I are in a huge building looking for an apartment
for the next years to live in; A realtor is with us but he doesn’t say
anything; the hallways and the apartments are especially dark; the first
apartment has several windows; they are rectangle shaped and rather wide than
high; I like the windows but my husband doesn’t like this apartment for some
reason; the next apartments are even darker; what is important to me seems to
be the windows. (20)
Courageous/Confidence
Many of the provers described increased confidence and even
courageousness during the proving. One prover described it as follows:
Much more courageous; confidence improved; I did many things during the
proving that I never felt the confidence to do before; saying it like it is;
especially confrontative to men; I feel in charge; I can do what I want and say
what I want and don’t really care what others think. (12)
This also manifested in the following dream:
Dream: At some downtown public building; a woman shows up among a group
of people with multiple leashes and about 15 dogs; the dogs kept getting loose;
one by one I kept gathering them; trying to help this woman who has more than
she can handle; then a pit bull gets loose; my immediate reaction is to
overcome my fear and go towards him and pet him and grab his leash; just like
the others; I realize I can’t show fear or he will attack; I walk right toward
him and reach down and pet him; I bring him back to the woman; next a mountain
lion gets loose; I have huge fear but have to muster up the courage to not show
the fear; I realize that people may try to hurt him out of fear; he is in bad
shape and looks exhausted; I am able to contain him; a man started screaming
from fear that the mountain lion would attack his daughter so I took the lion
back outside and tied him up; I see two people with bow and arrows aimed at
him; I was angry and defensive; I ran towards them to block their shots and
chased them off while swearing at them
(12)
The self confidence and self assuredness at its strongest became
egotism, arrogance and haughtiness. Anger and confrontation was often coupled
with this.
Moistness/Slime
The provers desired cold damp weather. This is in keeping with the
preferential habitat of the Roman Snail. In addition, the provers experienced
mucous and slime on their skin. This is described as follows:
Skin feels wet and slimy and cold; like I am always wet; it sucks and
feels uncomfortable; Skin felt wet, slimy and cold like I am always wet; very
uncomfortable; it is slimy; slimy thing about it; wet and slimy; I know it is
not wet; cold and wet and yucky like the cold wet like breathing; it feels as
if you are in the rain or covered in old slime.
(10);
Stool feels slimy. (10)
Dream: I had a really bad cold, a ton of green mucous came out which was
slimy, thick and bubbly; there was a whole garlic bulb in it! (4)
Money
Wealth and purchasing of expensive things was a prominent theme. Several
provers described persistent thoughts about money. This is in keeping with the
high relative cost of escargot. The following illustrate this:
Dream: I was floating down a river and passing out money. (5)
Dream: In the passenger seat of a truck; I had this feeling that I had
just completed a purchase – the biggest purchase of my life and I was so
confident, felt so good about the purchase.
(6)
Dream: I wanted to buy a diamond ring for $14,000; I took a nap and
slept past the time the store closed; I was thinking do I really want to put
$14K on my finger and have it be worth 1/3 that when
I walk out of the store? (7)
Dream: My husband and I were buying beach front property; touring a house
valued at 1.4 million; We were seriously interested in buying and indicated
that to the real estate agent; the price did not phase us. (9)
Dream: my husband was selling some winter coats that my mom used to sell
some years ago. These coats were very warm with llama fur, extremely expensive.
He was asking $40,000 for a coat. The client, my friend, wanted to offer
$12,000. We were inside a very expensive and exclusive restaurant. The colors
of the coat changed from dark to light colors, beautiful bright colors from
nature, as if the coat had a life by itself. My friend was selling jewelry,
expensive too. (11)
Dream: A tour of houses of wealthy executives; beautiful large homes
with a lot of larger windows and shades for privacy; the person giving the tour
said that because the executives have large living spaces, they need to stay in
the finest hotels during business travel; later I went to the children of these
executives and they would go off to school but come back home after their
parents left for work. (19)
Sexuality
Sexuality was fairly strong throughout the proving. Many provers had
sexual dreams. There was also a theme of rape and sexual violation, with an
accompanying aggressive violent refusal to let this occur. Themes of dishonesty,
secrecy and ulterior motives often accompanied the sexuality.
Dream: I was in a relationship with a guy; I was in the bathroom and he
was coming after me so I locked the door; he was banging on the door but I
wouldn’t let him in; later I was locked in a car and he was going to smash the
window; my feelings became loving to him and I told him it was not necessary to
smash the glass; I got out of the car and hugged him and kissed him; I felt
turned on and knew everything would be OK; he talked about his anger and I told
him he would be OK once we find his remedy.
(7)
Dream: Feeling of stuck and being in a hard place and the need to get
out of the situation. Also feeling of danger trying to cross an area that is
very dangerous and we are not familiar with it. In this scene
I am about to have intercourse. I ejaculate intensely and awake. (8)
Dream: Walking along a busy street in my white socks; I was not at all
dressed up or looking good; I was dressed shabbily; a rundown car with a bunch
of thugs sped up and pulled alongside of me; they were soliciting me to become
a prostitute; I took a shopping cart and was swinging it around and around and
was hitting them and telling them to get away.
(9)
Dream: A lady owned a ranch and was brushing her horse. A man was there
with his son; the lady’s dog was chained up nearby; The man told his son that
the dog was protective of the woman and he said “watch this”; he kissed the
woman and the dog started charging at the man; the dog ran until his chain
tightened. (19)
Romantic longing was also noted.
Slowness
Two provers described hearing a song in their head during the proving.
One described the song “Slow Down You Move Too Fast” and the other “Slow Down
Sister”. The provers described it as follows:
The sensation is that I have this helmet and this thing on my back that
I can’t get off and it is holding me back; like I am stuck in the mud and it
takes forever for things to happen or manifest; Like something stuck to my back
on both sides; cannot get it off; restricting like the helmet on the head; as
if I have a permanent back pack; stronger on the back; it feels hard;
restricting; better resting on the couch; it is a burden and too heavy; holds
me back; cannot move; stuck in the mud; have to wait for something to help
me. (10)
Slow flowy drifting feeling (12)
Weighed Down/Back Pack
See the description under “Sensation” above.
Youth
Several provers described feeling and appearing younger during the
proving. Wrinkles disappeared as well.
Mollusc Themes
Mollusc themes and Land Snail themes, were correlated with this proving.
These include the following:
Self centered/Self Contained
In my own world/My space
Distance, disconnected from
others, detached
Isolated, excluded
Lost touch, lose contact
Lose excitement, life and
liveliness
Confined/Caged
Claustrophobic/Suffocated
Smash, Crunch, Break, Bash,
Crack, Split Open, Shatter
Fall, Hit, Beat, Strike, Bang,
Thump, Bruise
Hammer/Punch/Pound/Batter
Pierce, Jab, Prod, Stab, Penetrated, Poke
Break in, Break through
Boring, Drilling
Eating into, Corroding
Swallowed up
Sucked out, Sucked in
Drying out, left high and dry
Float, Drift, Swim
Not grounded
Anchor, Fasten, Secure
Renewal
Sinking, pulled downward
Sea, Quicksand, Whirlpool
Animal Themes
This proving showed strong animal themes typical of the Animal Kingdom.
This included all of the following:
Animal imagery
Attractive Behavior
Attack and Defense
Competition
Sexuality
Split
Survival
Animal imagery was very strong in this proving. This is illustrated in
the Theme section below.
Several provers described an internal split. One prover described the
split as follows:
I have two voices in my head; one that is impatient and the one that is
amazed and mellow12)
Miasm
Two separate miasms arose during the proving. These were the Sycotic
Miasm and the Tubercular Miasm. The sycotic miasmatic characteristics
predominated. However it is difficult to make a miasmatic determination based
on a single proving. One prover described the tubercular energy as :
I feel this is a tubercular remedy; destructive, impatience, reckless,
grass is greener over there but I can’t get there; the feeling is that I have
to make this huge last ditch effort in order to live anymore; like if I don’t
get to the gym and put myself first I am done.
(10)
Dreams have a tubercular
(busy/active) and sycotic
(secretive) feeling to them. (12)
Dreams of travel were particularly strong. Themes of secrecy, hiding and
covering up were equally strong.
See the descriptions below for details of expressions of both of these
miasms within the proving.
Toasted. Remedies
There is some suggestion that toasted or burned remedies tend to be more
Tubercular (ref. Spongia tosta).
General Characteristics
The following general symptoms were most characteristic.
Chilliness
Most of the provers described chilliness or chills. Some hot flushes
were noted but these tended to be brief and followed by the chilliness. One
prover described the chilliness as follows;
Mucous membranes feel cold; ”As if it is 10° in the winter in
Massachusetts at the ocean with a wind blowing at 25 mph, and every breath is
cold as ice and takes your breath away.
(10)
Right Sidedness
A significant majority of the provers experienced rightsided symptoms.
There were also a few provers that had leftsided symptoms that then moved to
the right.
Desire for Wet Cold Weather
A desire or amelioration in wet, cold weather was seen in three of the
provers. This is consistent with the animal which prefers damp and colder
climes. The animal however cannot tolerate too hot or too cold temperatures. It
both hibernates and aestivates. One prover described this as being unable to
tolerate either cold or heat.
Suddenness
There was a suddenness to the general complaints. This was seen in both
physical and emotional symptoms.
In addition, to the above, cravings for sweets, carbohydrates and
alcohol were noted. Two of the provers described things as going “backwards”.
Emotional and Mental Characteristics
The predominant emotional characteristic seen in this remedy was anger.
This was described by provers as “red hot anger” and “confrontational with
stupid people”. Many of the provers described a lack of willingness to put up
with any abuse or injustice anymore. This was particularly targeted by women
towards men. See the general themes for more details.
The second emotional and mental characteristic was that of increased
confidence and even courageousness. In extreme form, this manifested in both
egotism and haughtiness. See the general themes for more details.
Physical Characteristics
Physical areas most targeted by this remedy included:
Vertigo was sudden and fleeting. It was accompanied by nausea and most
often occurred on waking.
Head symptoms were characterized by severe migraine headaches which were
noted by two provers. Pains were most often pressing like a cap or helmet.
Sinus headaches that were frontal were also noted. A sensation of an
iron band around the forehead was noted.
Eye discharge that was thick and white was noted by three provers. There
was also eye gum. Pains tended to be burning and pressing. Twitching of the
eyelids, worse right was noted.
Ringing of the ears was seen in two provers – one had it accompany
vertigo. Itching of the ears and a stopped sensation were also seen.
Nasal obstruction was seen in four provers. This was worse in the
morning. It was accompanied by sneezing and clear discharge that was worse in
the morning. Nasal dryness was noted.
The face was characterized by acne. Skin was oily.
Three provers noted chancre sores of the mouth. Itching and pains in the
gums were noted.
Dryness of the throat with choking and constricting sensations were
noted. Drinking did not ameliorate the dryness. A scratchy throat was described
in three provers which was worse in the morning and on swallowing. Significant
swelling and induration was seen of the uvula and tonsils in one provers which
was relatively painless.
Generally appetite was increased during the proving. This caused weight
gain and a craving for carbohydrates and sweets. Chronic gall bladder pains
were cured in one prover and there was an affinity for burning night time pains
in the liver. Nausea was quite strong without much vomiting. Heartburn and
eructations were also seen.
A general tendency towards constipation of the rectum was seen. Two
provers had bloody stools. Slimy, mucousy stools was also noted.
Sexual desire was quite high. Profuse menses with painful menstrual
cramps was noted.
Hoarseness was seen in two provers. Difficult respiration was also seen
in two provers. Cough tended to be dry, short and at night. No hemoptysis was seen,
although this was noted previously as a symptom of the remedy. Oppression of
the chest was quite strong.
Breathing was described by several provers as difficult. The cough
typically was dry and deep. Chest heaviness accompanied. Anginalike symptoms were
noted.
Two provers noted injuries to the back from lifting. This was most often
dorsal and associated with heaviness and tension.
Cramps of the calves of the extremities were seen in two provers. Nail
problems were strong. Several provers lost toe nails and cracking of the nails
was common.
Sleep was restless and difficult. There was particularly waking from 2 –
4 am. Falling asleep was particularly a problem.
The skin was moist and smooth. One prover described her skin as if
‘covered in slime’.
