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.

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 one 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 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.

[Cyrus Maxwell Boger/Presented by Sylvain Cazalet]

Consider Sabad. Verat. Verat-v. and Colch. (contains no Veratrine) from the nearly related Melanthaceæ. 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.

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.

Lachrymation in the night, in the cold air. Cold weather sets him coughing and sneezing. Inhalation of cold air makes sneeze perpetually, eyes 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 Homœopathic 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 Homœopathic 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.
