Imponderabilia -or imponderable remedies- are
homoeopathic remedies which are considered to be manufactured from a
dynamically, immaterial energetic source
(Goel, 2002:12). These sources have no mass
and exist only at a vibrational, energetic level
[sunlight (Sol),
moonlight (Luna),
and electricity (Electricitas) and others]
2.8 THE IMPONDERABLE REMEDIES
The imponderabilia are those remedies which
are considered to be manufactured from an immaterial, dynamic, largely
energetic source – these include remedies produced from
moon rays, sun rays, X-rays, electricity, and magnetic fields (Goel, 2002:12; Saxena, 2003:12).
The imponderable remedies are generally produced by exposing a mixture of
lactose and distilled water to the desired energy source from which a
remedy is to be manufactured; in some cases, a pure solvent of either distilled
water or alcohol alone can
also be used for the above mentioned purposes (Goel,
2002:69).
Upon exposure for a predetermined time period these solutions are
believed to absorb the emitted energies to which they have been exposed too,
thus allowing the manufacturer to safely harness and use these solutions as
medicinally active agents. Like all other homoeopathic remedies these ''energy
impregnated'' substances can then
be triturated +/o. succussed further by the
homoeopathic physician to the desired potency levels required for medicinal
purposes (Goel, 2002:69; Saxena
2003:18-19).
Saxena states that the imponderable
remedies should be considered as being more penetrating and enduring than all
other homoeopathic medicines due to the fact that these
remedies are formulated from direct energy sources, whereas all other
homoeopathic medicines are not (Saxena, 2003:24-26).
This group of remedies are potentised from
energy sources [Sun light (Sol), Moon light (Luna), Magnetism, Electricitas, X-ray, Mobile phone radiation, Positronium decay radiation].
Lightning is classified as an imponderable in homeopathy.
The influence of the energy is typically ‘captured’ by lactose that is
stirred while being irradiated, or by water in a vial that is close to the
source. In the case of fulgurite however, it is sand
that has become transformed by the encounter with lightning that is the source.
The proving symptoms have little in common to the well known remedy Silica that
is the result of slow precipitation of nodules of flint in lime-stone
formations, and a lot in common with the themes of imponderables.
Imponderables - a general overview
Energy and power are forces without any material substance. When we
anthropomorphise these forces we could feel invincible, not affected or altered
by anything, unlike plant, animal or indeed ourselves, that are affected by
all manner of external forces. Alternatively, we might feel overwhelmed, held,
crushed and over powered by forces against which we have no defence.

While this remedy group may seem new on the scene, the first
“Imponderable” was proven by Hahnemann in 1833. In an era rich with scientific
experimentation and questioning, it is completely understandable that Hahnemann
would be eager to prove natural phenomena, and his choice was magnetism.
The defining characteristic of these remedies is a powerful, immutable
force that exerts unseen, unknown, and intangible energy that can profoundly
influence our well-being.
[Louis Klein]
Imponderables share this attribute of unseen force with remedies made
from viruses and bacteria. But while the force in viruses and bacteria is
infectious and insidious; the force of an imponderable is irresistible and
overwhelming.
From H.’s day through the end of the 19th
century, remedies of these imponderable energy sources were few, including not
only magnet, but X-ray and sunlight. Leap forward well over 100 years to the
present day, brimming with a proliferation of technological devices. Cell
phones, computers, microwaves, televisions, GPS devices, MRI’s, ultrasounds,
high voltage electric transmission cables and computer managed vehicles. The
list is almost unending. Now imagine for a moment that you are actually able to
see these countless surrounding layers of directed, invisible energy these
devices collect and radiate. Add to that the undirected energy emanating from
the increased effects of solar flares and sunspots due to our thinning ozone as
well as the light from the moon and distant planets, and you will grasp that we
are all entangled in a dense web of “imponderable energy”. This web carries
forces that can impact many of our patients, and remedies made from
imponderables add effective options to our materia medica.
The articles that follow present the unique qualities of force for 5
different imponderables. Louis Klein presents an in depth article on the
history and indications for the remedy X-ray, demonstrating the force of seeing
through.
Matilde Flores offers a brilliant case
study of the remedy Magnetis Polus Arctis and the force of attraction and repulsion.
Nancy Frederick introduces a case of the little known remedy Ultrasound,
in which the force appears to be altered perception. Lindy Grigel
and Patricia Maher give us an article on the remedy Light of Saturn,
substantiating Patricia LeRoux’s trituration
proving published in the October 2009 edition of Interhomeopathy.
The force represented
in the Light of Saturn is Titan- like, forcing physical strength and
endurance. Lastly, Carol Jones presents us with the proving of TV Emanation and
along with my corroborating case, the mesmerizing and drug-like force of this
remedy is revealed.
[Dr. med. Edeltraud Kühle]
Imponderabilien waren mir in der Vergangenheit immer vorgekommen wie die „Büchse der Pandora“. Sie waren nicht greifbar. Es gibt wenig aussagekräftige Literatur und kaum Vorträge dazu. Mittel wie Luna, Sol, X-Ray, Electricitas, Magnet und Positronium führen bei Homöopathen, die genuin nach Hahnemann arbeiten, stets zu einem milden Lächeln. Lediglich Hecla lava, aus der Asche des isländischen Vulkans, ist in der Fachwelt bekannt und wird auch eingesetzt, überwiegend als bewährte Indikation bei Knochenbeschwerden wie Fersensporn und Exostosen. Gemütssymptome finden sich dagegen eher spärlich.
Durch den obigen Fall habe ich erstmalig wirklich verstanden, worum es bei den Imponderabilien geht, speziell bei den Vulkanen. Nachdem ich meine ersten beiden Vulkanpatientinnen entdeckt hatte, kamen im vergangenen Jahr weitere Patienten, die gut auf Stromboli lava, aus der Asche des sizilianischen Vulkans, reagierten.
Der oben skizzierte Verlauf war sehr aufschlussreich für mein weiteres Verständnis dieses Mittels.
Die Hauptbeschwerden, mit denen die einzelnen Patienten gekommen sind, waren unterschiedlich. Die Empfindungen, die sie schilderten, das, was Ausdruck des Mittels Stromboli ist, waren faszinierend und spannend. Auffallend bei allen Vulkan-Patienten war eine ausgeprägte Energie und Dynamik, auch wenn diese durch die ausgeübte Kontrolle, nicht immer gelebt wurde.
Dies konnte aber in der Regel auf Nachfragen bestätigt werden. Gleichzeitig bestanden auch die Zustände des absoluten Gegenteils: etwas Explosives, hoch Kochendes, Brodelndes, Aufbrausendes, unter Druck und Anspannung Stehendes, ohne Ventil, verglichen mit einer Sektflasche oder einem Dampfdruckkochtopf. Darin ist es aufgewühlt, es rotiert, es wühlt darin, ist rasend, sammelt sich an, eskaliert, baut sich immer stärker auf. Schließlich reicht ein Quentchen aus, um das Fass zum Überlaufen zu bringen:
Es platzt, explodiert, endet in der Zerstörung, treibt in den Wahnsinn.
Es wird von den Patienten auch beschrieben, dass die Dynamik noch stärker, schneller und ganz plötzlich geschehen kann: von 0 auf 180. Die Zeitsequenzen werden immer kürzer, in denen sich der Druck oder die Wut und Aggression steigern, bis alles explodiert.
Da die Konsequenzen dramatisch sein können, wird tunlichst versucht, alles möglichst unter Kontrolle zu halten. Alles muss laufen und funktionieren, da sonst alles auf einen einstürzen könnte und man sich überrollt fühlt, aus der Bahn geworfen wird. Dann fühlt es sich an, als hätte man keinen Boden mehr unter den Füßen, als würde man in ein schwarzes Loch fallen und alles würde über einem zusammenbrechen. Und natürlich besteht auch die entgegengesetzte Empfindung: eine ausgeprägt Müdigkeit und Erschöpfung mit körperlicher Schwäche, Antriebslosigkeit, Energiemangel, verglichen mit einer leeren Batterie oder einem gezogenen Stecker, einer nach unten ziehenden Schwere, Ohnmacht und Hilflosigkeit.
Da dabei das Gefühl einer gewissen Endgültigkeit oder Endzeit besteht, beschreiben Patienten aber auch, wie man eine solche Situation durch Kontrolle, Organisation, Koordination und Perfektion in den Griff bekommen kann, damit man wieder in den Takt kommt und alles wieder reibungslos funktioniert.
Im Verlauf der Mittelwirkung war zu beobachten, dass diese Empfindungen und Zustände in ein Gleichgewicht kamen. Durch selbstbestimmtes Handeln entwickelten sich Toleranz, Gelassenheit und Freiheit sowie das Gefühl einer Einheit von Körper und Geist und die Verbundenheit mit der Natur.
Das Bedürfnis nach Freiheit und auf der anderen Seite und die Empfindung von Enge, Grenzen, Blockaden, festzustecken oder sich im Kreis zu drehen auf der anderen Seite, tauchten als Themen wiederholt auf. Nachdem ich das verstanden hatte, habe ich auch viele körperliche Symptome der Patienten einordnen können.
- Wut, Zorn, Aggression, Ängste, Verschlechterung durch unerwartete Ereignisse und Todesfälle
- Kontrolle, Perfektion, keine Zeit zu haben, schnell gereizt zu sein
- Müdigkeit durch Verausgabung, Schlaflosigkeit durch Unruhe, Nervosität und Gedankenandrang, Erstarrung
- Hautprobleme jeder Art (viel Hitze, viel Jucken, viel Kratzen)
- Heuschnupfen (viel Hitze, brennende Beschwerden, Hypersekretion (um die Hitze zu löschen))
- Asthma, Luftnot, Engegefühle in der Brust
- Völlegefühl, Meteorismus, Obstipation, Durchfall – krampfende Bauchschmerzen, Sodbrennen (wenn es brennt, ist Hitze da)
Comparison. pink with others
[Patricia Kay]
Precocity, the oppositional behavior, the
random thoughts,
Following a thorough investigation and comparison of the symptoms produced
by remedy Pink 30CH against those of the other seven (7) selected imponderable
remedies – Luna
(moonlight); Magnetis Polus Arcticus (North pole of the magnet); Magnetis
Polus Australis (South pole of a magnet); Positronium (Anti-matter); Rad-br.; Sol
(Sunlight) and X-ray
- it was deduced that the following themes were most indicative of the
imponderable group as an entirety:
The imponderabilia are those remedies which
are considered to be manufactured from an immaterial, dynamic, largely
energetic source: moon rays, sun rays, X-rays, electricity, and magnetic fields (Goel, 2002:12; Saxena, 2003:12).
The imponderable remedies are generally produced by exposing a mixture of
lactose and distilled water to the desired energy source from which a remedy is
to be manufactured; in some cases, a pure solvent of either distilled water or
alcohol alone can also be used for the above mentioned purposes (Goel, 2002:69). Upon exposure for a predetermined time
period these solutions are believed to absorb the emitted energies to which
they have been exposed too, thus allowing the manufacturer to safely harness
and use these solutions as medicinally active agents. Like all other
homoeopathic remedies these ''energy impregnated'' substances can then be triturated
+/o. succused further to the desired potency levels
required for medicinal purposes (Goel, 2002:69; Saxena 2003:18-19).
Saxena states that the imponderable
remedies should be considered as being more penetrating and enduring than all
other homoeopathic medicines due to the fact that these remedies are formulated
from direct energy sources, whereas all other homoeopathic medicines are not (Saxena, 2003:24-26).
Hence these remedies are said to work the fastest, reaching deeply into
and stimulating the organism to health by clearing away stubborn chronic
diseases that fail to yield
to other homoeopathic remedies, including the powerful homoeopathic nosodes (Saxena, 2003:90).
Saxena (2003:26) further states that these
imponderable remedies should also be considered in situations where individuals
have undergone heavy radiation exposure; in those that suffer from
immunodeficiency diseases; in others who are experiencing stubborn allergic and
skin disorders, and also in those individuals with iatrogenic diseases.
A remedy such as X-ray has been noted to be one of the leading
imponderable remedies for all of the above cited situations. Proven in 1897 by
Dr. Bernhardt Fincke, X-ray has been used for a host
of clinical diseases [cancerous conditions of all types: leukaemias
and leucopaenias; anaemias;
glandular disorders (sexual glands leading to atrophy and sterility);
conditions produced after prolonged exposure to X-ray emissions; rheumatoid
arthritis, and a variety of skin complaints that range from eczema to
psoriasis, burn wounds and warts] (Saxena,
2003:56/Vermeulen, 2000:1619).
Other imponderable remedies such as Rad-br.
first proven by John Henry Clarke, has also been found to be of importance in
the treatment of rheumatic pains and inflammation; gout; as well as in the
clinical treatment of skin affections such as acne roseacea,
naevi, cancers and slow healing ulcerations (Vermeulen, 2000:1314/Vermeulen, 2004:19). Other less well
proven imponderable remedies such as Sol (Sunlight) and Luna (Moonlight) have
also been used in disease conditions which include lupus, sun burns,
sun strokes and worms,
epilepsy., oedema and somnambulism
respectively (Saxena, 2003:54).
Energy
Fluxions in energy levels are seen in most, if not all imponderable
remedies. This aspect of energetic fluxion can exist in an individual as either
an increase or a decrease in energy levels. It can also occur as an alternation
between the two states i.e. an individual may experience increased energy
levels at first, which subsequently decreases rapidly. In such cases weakness
and weariness then become the predominant presentation, rather than the
restlessness that is encountered if the individual’s energy levels are
increased. The former of the two examples is perhaps most frequently
encountered amongst the imponderable remedies, occurring largely as a physical
expression of exhaustion.
Conversely this theme of energy can also be encountered as a hurriedness
or restless anxiety in the mind, or it may, more commonly, be experienced as an
extreme prostration and dullness of the mind in which forgetfulness or
absentmindedness become the most marked expressions. On a more physical level
however, energy disturbances may also
be encountered in the form of excessive sleepiness, restless sleep, deep
sleep or even sleeplessness; there may also be sleep which lacks a refreshing
quality once awake.
In conclusion it can be seen that the imponderables in general seem to
relate more to a diminishment or lack of energy rather than to any increases or
enhancements in energy levels.
Sensitivity
At least five of the seven selected imponderable remedies have shared
this theme in common with remedy Pink. This theme is basically indicative of
the fact that the imponderabilia are very easily,
quickly and acutely affected or moved by impressions from the external
environment. Of course these impressions do differ amongst the imponderable
remedies – yet the quality of sensitivity is always apparent.
Irritability, impatience, anger
This theme ties in very closely related with that of the previous theme
on sensitivity. This is because it has been found that the sensitivity to
impressions seems to incite
a general sense of marked peevishness and irritability, which in turn
escalates to impatience, anger and even rage. It is as if the human organism is
in a state of strained susceptibility which causes the individual to become
angry or easily vexed, especially over trifles.
Psychotic, changeable mood
Erratic behaviour or changeability in mood is also a theme shared
amongst the imponderable remedies. This fickleness in behaviour may also be
accompanied by irresolution
or a difficulty in thinking. The appearance of taciturn type behaviour
and an aversion to company is also indicative of this theme. The term
„psychotic“ has been used as a blanket term to denote the fact that all imponderabilia have the capacity to lose touch with
reality, which is then marked by delusions, fears or a distorted perception of
reality. Like with the theme of sensitivity, the delusions and fears
encountered amongst the imponderable remedies will also differ widely.
Heaviness, morose, sadness
The theme of heaviness reveals the feeling encountered amongst the
imponderable remedies in general. This heaviness is usually expressed as a
sense of dullness or a prostration of the mind, or even as a deep sadness and
gloominess. This can be understood from the point of view that all energy seems
to have been taken out of the human system leaving it in a sullen state of
depression and moroseness. It is interesting to note that all seven
imponderable remedies share this theme in common with the proving remedy.
Detachment, indifference
The theme of detachment and indifference reflects the ability of the
imponderables to free themselves from all emotional, intellectual or social
involvements. This is often accompanied by an aversion to company, as well as a
taciturn type behaviour in which the individual may express a desire for quiet
repose and to be uncommunicative. Laziness may be seen as the expression of
this theme on the physical plane of the human organism.
Tranquillity
The theme of tranquillity represents that aspect of the imponderable
remedies which contrasts with the theme of heaviness and sadness discussed
previously. This theme may manifest as a state or quality of sereneness,
peacefulness, calmness or as a feeling of being undisturbed. This theme ties in
closely with the theme of energy and the theme of detachment or indifference.
This is because an individual may enter into a state of tranquillity when
feeling detached or indifferent to the surroundings – alternatively, this state
of tranquillity may also arise when an individual’s energy is not in a state of
fluxion, but rather in a state of balance or composure.
Sex
It can be said that all imponderables seem to have a marked affinity to
the genito-urinary system of the human body. The
theme of sex and libido is very closely related to the theme of energy. It is
interesting to note that imponderables seem to have different actions upon the
libido of the two genders. There seems to be more of a diminishment in libido
amongst the males, whereas an increase in libido is evident amongst females –
who also seem to experience a violent sexual desire that is not noted amongst
the male gender. Having said this however, it is certainly possible to also see
a decrease in libido amongst females and an increase in males. The theme of sex
may also be seen on the mental level which usually expresses itself in the form
of amorous/sexual type dreams.
As we can see, the group analysis of the imponderabilia
has brought forth a basic set of themes that can now be used to qualify the
need for an imponderable remedy in clinical practice. These themes are by no
means definite as many of the imponderables – both modern and old – await
further re-provings according to proper Hahnemannian methodology. This may, in time, reveal more
themes that may be added to or refine those already cited above.
Discussion of the Common Physical and General Symptoms
The following set of physical and general symptoms have been extracted
from amongst the seven (7) selected imponderabilia:
Luna; Magnetis Polus Arcticus (M-arct); Magnetis Polus Australis (M-aust); Positronium (Positr); Radium bromatum (Rad-br); Sol and X-ray
- as well as from remedy Pink. Not all of these symptoms have been included
into the above mentioned thematic expressions of the imponderable remedies, but
the researcher felt it important to bring to awareness that the imponderable
remedies also share a wide range of symptoms on the physical and general levels
as well.
These symptoms, as with the mental and emotional themes, were only
considered to be expressions of the imponderable group as an entirety only if
these symptoms appeared in 3 or more imponderable remedies and in remedy Pink.
What was also determined through this extraction of symptoms was that the imponderabilia seem to have an affinity, not only to the
mind, but also to the gastrointestinal and reproductive systems as well. For
ease of reference, and wherever applicable, the relevant imponderable remedies
have been included in brackets „()“ in order to indicate those imponderable
remedies which share symptomatology in common with
remedy Pink.
Head and Face
Headaches in the forehead, occipital and temporal regions are encountered
frequently amongst the imponderable remedies (Luna./M-arct./M-aust./Positr./Rad-br./Sol./X-ray).
Alternatively./headaches
may also appear generally across the entire head (Luna./M-arct./M-aust./Positr./Sol./X-ray) with dull pains
characterising the type of pain associated with these headaches. Dryness of the
mouth (Luna./M-arct./Positr); stinging pains in the
eyes (Luna./M-arct./M-aust./Positr); noises in the
ears (M-arct./M-aust./X-ray); acuteness of vision
(Luna./
M-arct./Positr) and a sensation of heat in the
face (M-arct./M-aust./Positr./Sol) are also
encountered amongst the imponderabilia. A sensation
of vertigo a prominent symptom encountered amongst this group of remedies (M-arct./M-aust./Positr./Rad-br./X-ray).
Throat and Gastrointestinal System
The manifestation of a sore and painful throat (Luna./M-aust./Positr) seems to be common in the imponderable
remedies.
In the acidity (Luna./M-arct./Positr)./heartburn
(M-arct./M-aust./Positr./Sol)./eructations
(M-arct./M-aust./Positr./Rad-br)./nausea (Luna./M-arct./M-aust./Positr./Rad-br./X-ray) and thirst (Luna./M-aust./Positr./Sol) are frequently encountered;
Appetite is often found to be either increased (M-arct./M-aust./Positr)
or decreased (Positr./Sol./X-ray).
Likewise cramping (M-arct./M-aust./Sol) and
stitching (M-arct./M-aust./Positr) pains are also
experienced in the abdominal region./as well as flatulence (M-arct./M-aust./ Positr)./constipation
(Luna./M-arct./Positr./Sol) or diarrhoea (Luna./M-arct./M-aust./Positr./X-ray).
Reproductive System
There is either an increase or decrease in libido encountered in the
reproductive sphere of both sexes. In females however./the sexual desire can
also be violent in character
(M-arct./M-aust./Positr).
There are also many changes in the menstrual cycles – with menses
appearing too early (Luna./M-aust./Positr)./too late
(Luna./M-arct./Rad-br) or becoming too short
(Luna./M-arct./Positr) in duration.
Many of the imponderabilia also produce
copious menstrual discharges (Luna./M-arct./M-aust./Positr./X-ray).
Chest and Back
A sensation of pain./constriction (Luna./Positr./Rad-br./Sol)
or oppression (M-arct./M-aust./Positr)./with a
difficulty in respiration (Luna./M-arct./M-aust./Positr)
is encountered in the chest. Pain is also experienced in the lumbar region in
general (Luna./M-aust./Sol).
Sleep
Restless (M-arct./M-aust./Positr./Rad-br./Sol)
or deep (Luna./M-arct./Positr./Sol) sleep is
encountered amongst the imponderabilia. There can
also be excessive sleepiness
(M-arct./M-aust./Rad-br./X-ray) or sleeplessness
(M-arct./M-aust./Positr./Sol./X-ray). The
sleeplessness is said to occur due to a restlessness of the mind or an
excessive activity of thoughts within the mind. The sleep is therefore also
described as being unrefreshing in quality (Luna. M-arct. M-aust. Positr.
X-ray). Dreams common to the imponderabilia are
amorous (Luna. M-arct. Positr.
X-ray). or dreams which are described as being very vivid in nature (Luna./M-arct./M-aust./Rad-br).
Generals:
A desire for sweets (Positr./Rad-br./X-ray)
and for cold drinks or cold water (Luna. Positr. Rad-br. X-ray) has been found to be common amongst the imponderabilia.
Much weakness (Luna./M-arct./M-aust./Positr./Rad-br./Sol./X-ray).
weariness (M-arct./M-aust./Positr./Sol./X-ray) and
lassitude (M-arct./Positr./X-ray) encountered in
these remedies. Conversely. a feeling of restlessness may also manifest
(Luna./M-arct./M-aust./Rad-br). The imponderable
remedies are also described as being able to produce the sensation of heat
(Luna./M-arct./M-aust./Positr./Rad-br) or a lack of
vital heat (Luna./Positr. X-ray) in general - as well
as a generalised painful soreness throughout the body (M-arct./M-aust./Positr./X-ray).

Electricity
In 1832 Michael Faraday published his finding that the electricity
induced from the magnet, voltaic electricity produced by a battery, and static
electricity are all the same.
Static electricity is usually caused when certain materials are rubbed
against each other, like wool on plastic or the soles of shoes on carpet. The
process causes electrons to
be pulled from the surface of one material and relocated on the surface
of the other material. A static shock occurs when the surface of the second
material, negatively charged with electrons, touches a positively charged
conductor, or vice - versa.
Lightning is a dramatic natural example of static discharge. The initial
charge is thought to be associated with contact and separation between ice
particles moving within the turbulence of storm clouds.
The flow of charges results from neutral atoms and molecules in the air
being torn apart to form separate positive and negative charges, which travel
in opposite directions as an electric current. These then neutralize as a spark
discharge: the lightning strike.
Clarke’s dictionary
Caspari is the authority for the symptoms
caused by electricity, but every one knows the powerful effect exercised on
some persons by the approach of a thunderstorm, and the influence of an
electric current.
• Nervous tremors, anxiety, fear,
restlessness, anxiety, and anguish, violent headaches, palpitation, swelling of
parts, are among the most prominent symptoms.
• Pains in the limbs, grievous
pains, pains in old wounds, or in enfeebled bodies, from a change of

The term imponderablilia comes from the word
imponderable meaning 'A factor whose effects cannot be accurately assessed’ or
something that is difficult or impossible to evaluate with precision.

space are attributes of matter)
* It is not matter but something that can affect matter. E.g Heat, light, magnetism etc. can affect matter. Energy
is beyond matter but affects matter. Energy when becomes restricted by time and
space, becomes matter – that is Hydrogen (in proving: the feeling of being
beyond time and space and also captured by time and space)

Abstract: Homoeopathic drugs are obtained from various sources like plants, animals, minerals, nosodes, sarcodes, imponderables, and tautopathic
drugs. Imponderable remedies are a small group of which are considered to be
manufactured from a dynamically, immaterial energetic source. The most
well-known of these include X-ray, Radium bromatum
(Radium bromide), Electricitas (electricity), Sol
(sunlight) and Luna (moonlight), Magnetis poli ambo (magnet). These sources have no mass. Imponderabilia medicines are most powerful and deep acting.
They are well represented in Clarke’s Materia Medica and Allen’s Materia Medica of Nosodes and magnets is
in Materia Medica Pura. Though these remedies are well proved they are rarely
used by homoeopathic professionals and are poorly represented in our
repertories. As these drugs were proved long ago there is a need of reproving
and clinical verification and there is a need of setting standards regarding
their preparation.
Introduction:
The word imponderabilia has come from
‘imponderable’ that means not weighable, i.e. the substances have no
perceptible weights. Imponderibilia are immaterial
‘dynamic’ energies that are utilized as potentized
homoeopathic medicines. [‘ponder’ signifies contemplating, examining,
investigating].
Imponderabilia medicines can also be termed direct
physical energy medicines as these medicines utilize energy directly, available
from natural and physical reactions. Presently available imponderabilia
medicines belong to the magnetic, electromagnetic, electrical, nuclear and
cosmic category of energies.
Dynamic, powerful, physical, energies have been known to influence
various living and non-living processes on the earth. The energy utilized may
be natural or it may be artificially generated.
Natural Source:
E.g.: a. Normal magnet – Magnetis poli ambo.
North pole of magnet – Magnetis polus arcticus.
South pole of magnet- Magnetis polus australis.
Artificial Source:
E.g.: a. Electricity – Electricitas.
Sun’s ray – Sol.
Radium bromide – Radium.
Moon’s Rays – Luna
Artificial magnet – Magnetis artificialis.
X-rays X-ray.
Specific instructions and rules for collecting and preparing these
medicines are given in the pharmacopoeia.
Magnets can be procured from a
physical laboratory.
For preparing ‘Luna’, full
moon is suggested.
For preparing ‘X-ray’, a
chemical testing laboratory may be contacted.
Potentisation
of these medicines has to be done very carefully.
Hahnemann discussed the dynamic power of magnets, electricity and galvanism
under aphorisms 286 and 287 of organon of medicine
6th edition.
286 The dynamic powers of
mineral magnets, electricity and galvanism act as powerfully and as homeopathically on our life principle as do actual
so-called medicines
that lift diseases by means of oral ingestion, through the skin, or by
olfaction.
They thereby enable the cure of diseases, especially those of
sensibility and irritability, of abnormal feeling, and involuntary muscle
movements. However, the sure manner
of employing electricity and galvanism (as well as the use of the
so-called electro-magnetic machine) still lies too much in the dark to make
homeopathic use of them.
So far, both electricity and galvanism have been used only for
palliation, doing great damage to patients. Up until now, their positive pure
actions on the healthy human body have been but little proven.
287 One can more surely avail
oneself of the curative powers of a powerful magnet. The positive actions of
its north and south poles are presented in the Materia
Medica Pura. Although both
poles are equally powerful, they stand in opposition to one another in the
manner of their action.
Doses may be moderated by the amount of time one or the other pole is
applied (according to whether more of the symptoms of the north or the South
Pole are indicated).
A plate of polished zinc can be used as an antidote for an
all-too-violent action.
Hahnemann says that ‘even imponderable agencies, can produce the most
violent medicinal effects upon man’ under § 280 footnote Fifth Edition of Organon.
IMPONDERABILIA DRUGS
ELECTRICITAS – Source: Electricity
History
The effects of atmospheric electricity and static electricity.
Caspari is the authority for the symptoms
caused by electricity, but everyone knows the powerful effect exercised on some
persons by the approach of a thunderstorm and the influence of an electric
current. In those which have been electrified, are found shaking of the whole
body, commencing in the maxillary bones, tingling in the parts electrified,
violent burning.
Preparation
Trituration 1x- Saccharum
lactis is exposed to high intensity static
electricity for 10 minutes. Caution: The
product should be freshly prepared and used.
GALVANISMUS (Galvanism) Galvanism. (“Z” signifies zinc, “S” silver, and
“C” the copper pole.).
History
Caspari is the authority for this medicine.
Farrington gives: “benumbed feeling at the back of the head in brain-fag, the
positive pole being applied to the cervical region, the negative to the vertex”.
Preparation
Attenuations are made by triturating sugar of milk which has been
subjected to the influence of either electric pole.
LUNA
Source: The moon’s rays
History
Goullon of Weismer
contributed to the Rev. Hom. Belge,
January, 1897, a notable article: “The Influence of the Moon on the Human
Organism,” in which he mentions, among other interesting facts, that
sleepwalking is a lunar effect, that worm disorders are most troublesome at the
full noon and that goiter changes, more or less with
the moon.
Preparation
Sugar of milk is exposed on a glass plate to the moon’s rays and stirred
with a glass rod. The sugar of milk so charged is dynamized
in the usual way, (Fincke). Higgins made
a preparation by exposing pure water to the moon’s rays for three or
four hours in South America and then dynamizing the
water so charged.
MAGNETIS POLI AMBO (Magnet) Source: The Magnet
History
The effect of the Magnet as a whole and of each pole separately was
tested by Hahnemann and the symptoms are mainly from his pathogenesis. In his preface he says he does not expect
“ordinary mechanical, materialistic and atomistic heads” to be able to regard
diseases as “immaterial alternations of the vitality or pure dynamic
derangements of our state of health and medicinal powers as merely virtual, almost
spiritual, forces.”
Hahnemann asks how they can reconcile with their materialistic notions
the fact that “a single imponderable spark from a Leyden jar gives a shock to
the strongest man and
yet no ascertainable ponderable substance is
communicated to his body”. Of the symptoms of the schema he says they “occurred
from various powerful magnets brought in contact with various sensitive
individuals, without distinction of the poles.
They were observed in experiments conducted for half a year for the
purpose of ascertaining the proper and most efficacious mode of stroking the
steel with magnets, in which a horse-shoe magnet, capable of lifting a weight
of twelve pounds, was held in the hands, which were held in contact with both
poles for an hour at a time, with additional symptoms from Andry,
Thouret, Unzer, and De Harsu.
Sensations of coldness are marked. There is coldness where the magnet is
applied. The eyeball feels cold, as if there were a lump of ice in the socket.
On the other hand there is a sensation as if the blood was rushing towards the
point touched by the magnet.
Preparation
Trituration of sugar of milk after exposure of
whole magnet (horseshoe shaped capable of lifting 5.5kg weight of iron).
Exposure time 1 hour. Trituration time 1 hour. Trituration of Sugar of Milk after exposure of the
influence of both poles of the magnet. Dilution of distilled water similarly
exposed.
MAGNETIS POLUS ARCTICUS (NORTH POLE OF MAGNET)
History
The symptoms of Mag-arct were obtained by
applying it in the region of the 4th to 6th thoracic
vertebra, at a distance of four or five finger’s width from the body.
Preparation:
Trituration of sugar of milk after exposure of
north pole of magnet (horse shoe shaped capable of lifting 5.5kg of iron).
Exposure time 1 hour. Trituration time 1 hour.
MAGNETIS POLUS AUSTRALIS (SOUTH POLE OF MAGNET)
History
South pole of magnet is useful for ingrown toe nails. Clarke has cured
so many cases of ingrown toenail with Mag-aust.1 M., that he invariably gave it
in the first place
when there are no symptoms plainly indicating another remedy. Here are
the symptoms from Hahnemann which led to this use:
Sore pain on the inner side of the nail of the big toe when walking, as
if the nail had grown into the flesh on the side, very painful on being
slightly touched and the shoe presses on the toes and on the nail of the big
toe when walking, as from corns.
The accurate response to these symptoms on the part of the attenuated Mag-aust. proved to Clarke the possibility of attenuating
and so fixing this “energy” for use as
an ordinary homeopathic remedy.
Preparation
Trituration of sugar of milk after exposure of
north pole of magnet (horse shoe shaped capable of lifting 5.5kg of iron).
Exposure time 1 hour. Trituration time 1 hour.
Potencies of alcohol saturated with emanations of the south pole.
RADIUM BROMATUM (Radium Bromide)
Rad-br. Ra
br2, 2H2O. Radium bromatum.
History
An important addition to the Materia Medica especially since the provings
by Diffenbach have précisionized
its use. Radium bromatum of 1,000,000 radio-activity
was employed. Pure Radium is a white metal which “oxidizes in water,
burns paper, turns black on exposure to air and has the property of adhering
firmly to iron.”
This last quality is not without significance and shows a close affinity
with Ferrum. Its atomic weight is 225. It is found in
the ore pitchblende. The discovery of
Radium and its properties in 1898 by Pierre and Marie Curie set many persons
thinking and among them, naturally, those who are engaged in the healing of the
sick.
Pierre Curie himself made the first “proving.”
He put a tiny bit of Radium salt in an India rubber capsule and fastened
it to his arm, leaving it there for ten hours. When he took it off the skin was
red, the place turned into
a wound, which took four months to heal, leaving a white scar the size
of a shilling surrounded by discolored puckered skin.
On another occasion he left it for half an hour. A wound appeared at the
end of a fortnight and took another fortnight to heal. On a third occasion, he
left it for eight minutes only. Two months later the skin became red and a bit
sore, but it soon passed off.
Preparation: Trituration 3x, Drug strength
1/1000
Radium bromide 1gm
Saccharum lactis
999gms to make 1 kilogram of trituration.
SOL (sunlight)
History
Thanks to Dr. Finsen of Copenhagen, the place of light in therapeutics
was defined so far as its direct properties are concerned, though Finsen was
reviving and confirming,
the ancient light-therapy.
O.V. Thayer published in 1893 a series of cases in which he had used
concentrated rays of sun-light (solar cautery)
including cases of skin cancer, rodent ulcer, parasitic diseases, moles, small wens, birth-marks, etc.
H.T. Webster gives details of a case of epithelioma
in which the growth was removed by solar cautery and
a scarcely perceptible scar left. Faintness, prostration, general stiffening up
of the system, the bodily strength seems more equalized.
Preparation
Sol, sunlight. Milk sugar is exposed to concentrated sun’s rays and
stirred with a glass rod until saturated. Potencies made by Fincke[6,12].
X-RAY History and preparation
The proving was undertaken by B. Fincke in 1897, on ten provers, using
6x and was published in the proceedings of the International Hahnemannian
Association pages 47-76.
A re-experimentation was done by W. B. Griggs on two men and one woman prover and published in the Homeopathic Recorder in 1952
using the 30c and 200c potencies.
A very able description of the discovery of the x-ray by professor
Roentgen was given in the Homoeopathic Physician (march 1896)by Dwalber M. James and concluded with the words: “Why should not the
homoeopathist seek to procure a proving of the effects of X-ray upon the animal
economy of the human being :An inviting field is there opened up to the
experimenters of our school. May it soon be cultivated”. March 27, 1897.
A drachm vial filled with absolute alcohol was
exposed to a Crookes tube in operation for half an hour and then brought up to
the sixth centesimal potency. The globules were moistened and the vials
containing them presented to the Brooklyn Hahnemann Union, which met the same
evening in regular session.
Like Magnetis Poli Australis and other imponderabilia,
electricity and the X-ray are both capable of potentization,
and the potentized dynamic remedy is just as superior
to the crude drug as Aurum, Lyc.,
Sil. or Sulphur.
Conclusion: Imponderables though they are a small group of drugs, are
most powerful and deep acting. As we are living in world where there is lot of
radiation from different sources there is a scope of research and proving of new
imponderabilia drugs and their incorporation into our
materia medica will enrich
it. Reproving must be done of existing imponderables.
