Pulvis stomachicus cum Belladonna Anthro
[Hans Werner, M.D.]
100 g of the trituration contains
Antimonite D 3 (33%) Belladonna, planta tota D 3 (16.7%) Bismuthum
subnitricum D 5 (33%) Chamomilla, planta tota D 3 (16.7%).
Use: According to the anthroposophic view of
man and nature.
Including:
heartburn; functional, painful disorders of gastric and duodenal
secretion and motility; also with erosive or ulcerative changes in the mucosa.
Antimonite (Sb2S3) = stibnite or antimony
glance/the chief ore of antimony = source of the pure metal. The silvery grey,
lustrous ore consists of spear-like crystals radiating from a center. Principles of form radiating from the periphery
come to expression in a very special way in the forms of this mineral.
Antimonite shows us how it takes the principles that come from the earth's outer
environment into itself (R.S.). The ore reveals that the metal has a tendency
to combine with, and therefore relates to S.
It melts, evaporates and ignites easily, properties to indicate that its
formgiving principles act mainly in the sulfur domain - in the metabolic system. If the metabolic
organs
lack structuring power in protein synthesis, inflammatory, dissolving
processes develop in these organs in which protein disintegrates. The
structuring powers of antimonite help to push back the dissolving, inflammatory
tendency and restore boundaries and functions to the organs.
Belladonna: Grows mainly on the edges of woodlands
where light and shade interact. The vegetative growth form changes enormously
as soon
The specific character of the shoot, directions taken by the developing
bud, flower and fruit, the interlinking of leaf and shoot, absence of leaf
metamorphosis, and the fact that all parts of the plant are poisonous, all
point to a powerful cosmic, astral eruption into the plant, and resistance to
this from the earthly, vegetative principles. Light and shade, buoyancy and
gravity, watery and airy principles are held in vital tension. The poisonous
nature of the plant indicates that the cosmic, astral forces go beyond their
sphere of action in the flowering process and penetrate the plant. Important in
the medicinal actions = the alkaloids Atrop. Hyoscyamin. Scop.
Also contains alpha-methylesculetin, Mg, Si
and Cu.
If the dissolving, inflammatory forces have the upper hand in a
pathological process affecting a metabolic organ - in the present case mainly
the gastroduodenal region –
with the form-giving powers of the sentient organization intervening
more powerfully to cause pain and spasms in the affected organ, the dual nature
of the Belladonna
action, that state of tension between vegetative and cosmic, astral
powers, can restore the balance where life and sentient organization have
fallen out of harmony.
Bismuth: heavy, very soft metal with silvery luster, usually found in association with Pb. Cu and Zn. It protects from X-rays, is used as a
protective lubricant in areas
of powerful friction, in low-melting alloys for various screening
systems, and as a coating to protect other metal products. It also makes molten
iron easier to cast.
In both appearance and reactions the metal shows a degree of
relationship to antimony and silver.
The above properties, which in various technological applications serve
above all to provide protection, help us to understand the medicinal action of
bismuth in
Pulvis stomachicus
cum Belladonna. The nitrogen compound of the metal counteracts protein
degradation in inflammatory processes and supports the structuring function
of the antimonite constituent.
Chamomile needs light and warmth to thrive. It likes saline soils. Growth
begins with fine radial roots developing below and succulent leaves above
ground.
After this relatively restrained growth phase the shoot moves up into
the light and the warmth with vigor. The leaves
become finely divided. The shoot branches, every
branch terminating in the familiar yellow flowering head with its white
marginal florets. Here lies the center of the
oil-producing process, a weaker form of which is also present in all other parts.
As the flowers develop, withering progresses rapidly from the base upwards. The
small fruits are moist and slimy. The whole plant is subtly,
pleasantly scented. The chamazulene content is
said to be responsible for the medicinal action of chamomile. It gives the oil its
deep blue color. The plant also contains sesquiterpenes and the flavone
glycoside apiin, considered to be mainly responsible
for the spasmolytic effect.
Minerals include a high silica and sulfur
content, and also potassium and calcium.
Acute, subacute and chronic inflammation in
the gastroduodenal region, combined with poor blood
supply to the mucosa, pain and spasm respond to this medicinal plant which
through its process of warmth substance pushes back the encroaching sentient
organization. Silica, potassium, sulfur and sugars
support the healing process by
restoring harmony between the essential principles of the human being
which are no longer working together in a healthy way.
Pulvis stomachicus
cum Belladonna is a medicinal composition in which antimonite and bismuth subnitrate and chamomile act together to restore harmonious
interaction
of the
of the sentient organization in the life organization, at the same time
strengthening the anabolic functions of the life organization. The two
ego activity, restoring organs to their boundaries.
