Sabadilla Anhang
Closely related to Veratrum. The state can be brought on by fright and
hysteria. It may be used (Verat.) in cases of
imaginary diseases, e.g. false pregnancy.
Proving: The mind seems overexcited,
tense, the disposition however is little sensitive, cold; but after several
days the understanding is decidedly depressed; he can with difficulty
comprehend many things, thinks slowly; the disposition, however, is more easily
excited, everything deeply affects him.
Strange thougths,
confusion of identity, (Thuj) mixed with revulsion of
ones body or sensations of deformity, especially shrinking or enlargement. Prooving: He imagines all sorts of strange things about his
own body, for instance, that it had shrunk like that of dead persons, that his
stomach was corroded, that the scrotum was swollen, etc.; he knows that all
this is fanciful; he continues to imagine it,
The sensation of enlargement can be
experienced mentally as a belief that he is appointed (or deserted) by God.

[E.A. Taylor]
Proved by H. and his contemporaries and it corresponds
to a wide and varied range of human ailments as indicated by its symptomatology and demonstrated by clinical experience it
is nevertheless a much neglected remedy.
Hering: Full or
erroneous impressions as to the state of his body“. Imagines herself sick;
parts shrunken, that she is pregnant when she is merely swollen from flatus;
she has some horrible throat disease which will end fatally”. Only distressed
by his imaginary disease and bodily ailments but his mind is in a tempestuous
state because of imaginary moral delinquencies.
He imagines that he has committed a great crime; that he
has been unfaithful to his marriage vows or that he has deserted the true
religious faith and is destined to be lost + anxious restlessness that drives
him from place to place precluding the possibility of tranquility
either mental or physical, nervous and anxious, startled from the least noise.
Sleep is restless and unrefreshing
and in the morning he wakes suddenly with a start as if greatly frightened;
easily frightened and startled by noises.
A woman becomes badly frightened and this is followed
by paroxysms of hysteria.
Sabad.: anxious
restless nervous state with the ill effect of fright
Acon.: anxious
restless nervous state with the ill effect of fright + all absorbing
overshadowing and dominant fear.
Cold patient, many complaints < from cold, sensitive
to cold (+ hot face and wants/> a cool place for it). Acute colds,
influenza, etc. , where the patient was chilly, wanted much cover, whole body
cold, but wanted a cool place to lay the head. The face was hot and patient
would frequently turn the pillow to find a cool place for his head; cold all
over except the head and face. With this there is often a desire to stretch the
legs > aching in them.
Vertigo with “As if all things were turning around
each other”/”As if turning around the patient”. > lying perfectly still and
looking fixedly at one object. It also has a headache with vertigo and the same
modality = > looking steadfastly at one object.
"Headache and vertigo > eyes steadily fixed
upon on object and while patient in thinking of one subject”. One thing at a
time seems to be the motto of this modality. Mental exertion produces and <
headache. The brain seems tired and easily fatigued similar to the condition
often found in neurasthenia for which it is an important remedy. Or the mental
aberration assumes a serious aspect culminating in acute mania with rage and
violence which can only be quieted by washing the head in cold water. An
exception to < from cold = the raging mania is > bathing the head in cold
water.
Great for the nose and throat. Profuse lachrymation with many of its complaints (head). Eyes fill
with water on the slightest provocation/walking in the open air/on looking at
light/sneezing, coughing or yawning. Profuse lachrymation
with pain in any part of the body (hand/foot).
No remedy has a more painful sore throat than this
one. It is so extremely painful that the whole body writhes when he attempts to
swallow. So intensely painful is it that he cannot swallow saliva but must spit
it out. Excruciating though the pain is, yet there is continual desire to
swallow and whenever he attempts if he distorts his face, writhes in pain and
says "It feels like it would take the skin off“ meaning the mucous
membrane. Ask him to open his mouth and he makes a wry face for it is painful
to comply with your request. Tell him to put out his tongue and the protest is
more pronounced for the pain in greater. Ask him how his throat feels and he
says "it feels like he had swallowed a pint of vinegar“. There is a sense
of painful constriction as after swallowing an acid drink, with all the
discomfort there is a constant desire to swallow and each time he says" It
feels like it would take the skin off“.
The mouth and throat feel DRY, prompts this constant
desire to swallow, yet there is no thirst“. How does you throat feel as regards
dryness or moisture: answer “It is as dry as a powder house“ is the answer. If
there is any thirst it will be for hot drinks, but frequently there is no
thirst, just excruciating pain on swallowing "like it would take the skin
off" + this sense of constriction and DRYness,
"dry as a powder - house". There is often a feeling in the throat of
a body or lump which he must swallow down. Pain < on empty swallowing but
can swallow warm food > than cold. The direction of the throat symptoms from
left to right as given in Hering is purely clinical
and somewhat at variance with the provings which show
a general tendency of complaints to go from r. to l. (headache/chest
pains/pains in side/pain in the limbs.
Lippe: sore
throat
Hering:
accepting a clinical report from some German doctor that "In an epidemic
of sore throat all cases which commenced on the left and ext. right side“.
DD.:
Lyc. Throat
symptoms go from r. to l./> warm drinks. Cough coming at the same time each
day, always at the same hour, with clock-like regularity.
Sabad.: Throat
symptoms go from r. to l./> warm drinks. Cough coming at the same time each
day, always at the same hour, with clock-like regularity.
Intermittent
fever with the chill always at the same hour with thirst only between the chill
and heat.
Eupat-per.:
Vomiting occuring between the chill and heat. Bitter
vomiting "as bitter as gall“,
Lyc. by sour vomiting; "as sour as vinegar“.
Sabad.: Cough
on lying down "Pain in the r. shoulder, ext. chest, + ”As if a tape
prevented the circulation of the blood“.
Chel.: thirst
for warm drinks + “As if a tape or cord around the abdomen”.
Bry.:
sticking r. side of the chest during inspiration with coughing.
Sabad. sticking
r. side of the chest during inspiration with coughing + unable to lie on the
affected side and thirstless.
Bachache >
pressure and heat. All the symptoms tend to go from one side to the other go
from r. to l.

Consider
Sabad. Verat. Verat-v. and Colch. (contains no Veratrine) from the nearly related Melanthaceć.
Because of the presence of the mixed alkaloid Veratrine
in Sabad. and Verat.
they
have many symptoms in common. An intense irritant, causing violent sneezing,
tingling, prickling, numbness, formication, and
finally paralysis of the end nerves.
Sabad.
and its alkaloids show a deeper action than the mere effect of a pure irritant:
Tears
flowing as soon as pain is felt in any part and its application exciting a formication which extends to the remote parts of the body,
all showing reflex symptoms through the nervous system, which is, indeed
profoundly affected. Many sensory illusions and imagines himself sick or thinks
certain parts have enlarged or shrunken, all of which bears a close relation to
the sense of crawling and itching induced thereby.
Nervous
phenomena: spasms, twitchings, hemicrania,
colics, coughs, sneezing, etc. , reflex from or
connected with worm, abdominal or other irritations. Spasmodic sneezing, reflex
from any slight cause.
It was
formerly used to destroy vermin and many of the skin symptoms are like those
felt by nervous persons in the presence of a parasite.
It is
particularly helpful for wormy children who have snuffles. Patients with
pinworms are often hard to prescribe for because the worms and the reflex
symptoms which they cause may be the only evidences of sickness, here Sabad is first.
A large
part of its irritative action expends itself upon the
upper respiratory tract, inducing sore throat (usually begins on the l. side
and often ext. r. + severe constriction, constant necessity to swallow, profuse
salivation and lachrymation, it is < empty
swallowing and > from hot drinks/after steep.
Usefull
in influenza, hay fever, etc. , where it has been used quite extensively. It
is, however, well to remember that in the so-called rose-cold it is very apt to
have a palliative action only, and that it will generally not prevent its
yearly recurrence, for which purpose the deeper acting antipsorics
are more suitable. In hay fever it is indicated by the predominance of
sneezing, with itching tingling within the nose, complete obstruction and a
watery discharge, all < in the open air.
DD.:
All-c.:
bland lachrymation with acrid coryza,
> in the open air and + sleepiness and flatulency.
Squil.:
much bloating around the eyes, while the patient continually rubs them sneezes.
Teeth may show black marks.
Arund-d.:
Dr. Allen, of Philadelphia: much sneezing running of frothy mucus from the nose
and itching of the soft palate.
Wye.: dry
sensation in the throat, although mucus is abundant. Tickling on the edges of
the eyelids. The lips feel scalded and swollen. Itching of the soft palate, is
compelled to scratch it with the tongue. Great depression of spirits.
Nux-v.:
itching ext. throat and the typically sensitive Nux-v.
person
Kali-bi.:
eyes fill with acrid mucus, which collects in little irritating masses; they
run a scalding water and are agglutinated in the morning. May be a sticky, deep
yellow discharge from the nose.
Veratrine.:
empirically for neuralgias of various sorts by the old school;
Sabad. May be used when the pains seem like hot
needles penetrating the part or + by tingling and prickling, always < from
cold.
Sabad.:
distinct and clock-like periodicity fitting it for malarial and other
intermittent complaints when thirst is absent and the patient complains of coldness
mingled with isolated flushes of heat or alternating with hot flashes. In this
exact periodicity: Cedr. Aran-d.
Many
symptoms appear or recur at the new or full moon.
Burning
sensations are very prominent and may occur almost anywhere. In general the
symptoms predominate on the right side or go from thence to the left. In the
throat, however, the reverse holds good. Usually chilly and generally <
cold, although he feels relief in the open air (Puls.);
< thinking of his complaint and often magnifies a slight symptom into a
serious disease.
DD.: Ars. especially in the respiratory sphere, in symptoms
induced by irritations in distant parts, in sensations of hot needles in the
suffering part, etc.
[J.T.
Kent/presented by Sylvain Cazalet]
Cold
remedy: chilly/sensitive to cold
air/wants to be wrapped up/wants hot drinks. He takes cold easily, suffers much
from coryza, goes into the winter with coryza. The chilly nights of August and September affect
him much, bringing on a constant tickling in the nose. The nose drips, he
coughs and sneezes, an excoriating fluid drips from the nose, the nose looks
red.
There
is lachrymation in the night, in the cold air. Cold
weather sets him coughing and sneezing. Inhalation of cold air makes sneeze
perpetually, the eyes are red from lachrymation.
There
is increasing rawness in the nose. This remedy is very useful in hay fever.
Many times it will cut short an attack, but it is not deep acting enough to
keep the patient well, and next season he will have a different kind of coryza and need some other remedy. This is true of the
short acting remedies.
Hay
fever is a big bugbear. It worries the doctors. It worries the people and
drives them to the mountains. When a Homśopathic
physician once fully comprehends our miasms he will
see that the hay fever is simply an autumnal explosion. It might be at any
other season. Some are sensitive in the Spring when the flowers come out, some
to mature vegetation. One who knows the doctrines of psora
will see sufficient cause for hay fever. By elevating the constitution one may
cure hay fever in from three to five years. In a few cases one year will
suffice to cure. Palliatives are sometimes necessary during the hay fever; Sabad. one of them. The palliative is rarely the
constitutional remedy. Another peculiar predisposition of the Sabadilla patient is to raise worms: tapeworms, lumbricoides, pin-worm, all sorts of worms. There is a
dreadful itching of the rectum and a sensation of something crawling in the
rectum. There are pin-worms found in the stool. Give this remedy for pin-worms
when there are no symptoms present, but never give for other worms unless the
symptoms agree.
The
books say it has cured tape-worm, but I have never seen it indicated in cases
of tapeworms. It is a part of the Homśopathic
doctrine that a healthy stomach will not hatch out worms. Never prescribe for
the worms. Stick to your patient. Doctor your patient. If your patient be
restored to health the worms will leave.
Sabadilla
is suitable in old, chronic sore throats that are from cold air. The patient is
sensitive to cold air. Every time he takes cold, it settles in the nose and
throat. Tonsillitis going from left to right (op : Lach.)
It has cured diphtheria going from left to right. The Sabadilla
patient craves hot drink, wants hot tea. This at once makes us stop thinking of
Lach. because Lach. checks
from hot drinks. (Lach. also < after sleep, and
< tight collar). The stomach is disordered. There are nausea, sinking at the
stomach and gnawing hunger.
Sabad.:
intermittent fevers where the chill predominates; there is slight fever with no
thirst, but thirst between the chill and fever; the extremities feel cold to
the touch, he feels cold all over to the touch; there is great coldness of the
body but the patient himself does not feel cold.
