[Dr. Jaswant Singh Matharu]

Apis. is usually given with much relief but slow in action and does not cure. Boerhavia diffusa cures even chronic cases.

Another example is a patient with swollen ankles where the diagnosis is a kidney weakness such that the water elimination from the body is impaired. One would then ask the patient to rub into the skin anthroposophically prepared homeopathic copper 2 - 3x daily around the ankles and into the feet. (This can be obtained from one of the several anthroposophical pharmacies.) The rationale for this treatment is that the kidney is essentially ruled by the planet Venus, a planet which in turn is associated with copper.
