DD.:
a. How they cope with the situation
Stage 3 or 4: Sars can be a closed lonely
state because they are quiet and rather shy. Dreams of fights or falling
(Caps./Guaj./Nux-m.) can suggest that trying to face
the outside world is a overwhelming
experience ... trying and then giving up is a feature of the Ringworm miasm, .
b. The expression and its modalities
They dream or have visions of the dead (Vanil./Lil-t./Vanil.) and specters
(Camph, Verat) - which can
signify fear of the shadow realm or the disconnection of Stages 15 - 17.
There are also aspects of Phos
- Silica series, the need to develop relationships and the sensitivity to being
excluded, which is common to the Liliales.
c. The mineral-salt combination
Cerium-p. has some similaritiy to Sars. Mag-f. sensitive to
abandonment.... the shy adolescent who becomes intensely image conscious, and
has to project an image of beauty and sexuality to cover up
a fear of rejection.

Skin symptoms of Sarsaparilla in detail and compares it to other
homeopathic remedies with similar skin symptoms.
Sarsaparilla is a well known homeopathy remedy which is used with great
success in many complaints related to urinary system, especially in renal
stones, often given therapeutically.
But when we see our literature of drug proving, it also has wonderful
symptoms related to skin complaints.
Sarsaparilla is a tropical plant from the genus Smilax. For centuries,
indigenous people around the world used the root of the sarsaparilla plant for
treating joint problems like arthritis, and for healing skin problems like
psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis.
Clinical research has validated the traditional use of sarsaparilla for
skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, acne, and leprosy. In 1942, it was
reported in the New England Journal of Medicine to improve the condition of
psoriasis dramatically. There the results of a clinical study with 92 patients
was detailed which reported that it improved psoriasis lesions in 62% of cases
and completely cleared lesions in 18% of cases.
Sarsaparilla patients looks prematurely old, dull with Emaciated,
shrivelled wrinkled patchy skin. This appearance of skin is very characteristic
can be found in many skin complaints.
Boils, herpetic eruption, warts, rhagades
(cracks), pustules, acne and many other kind of skin complaints are seen in
sarsaparilla patients.
Eruptions are humid, moist, dry, crusty, itchy and burning. Vesicular
discharge from the eruption, which increases burning in eruptions. Burning
increase with rubbing.
Eruption all over the body, usually one sided and especially right side.
Right side of nose, right wrist, right ankle etc.
Itching when going in cold air from warm room. Scratching results in
eruption, inflammation and burning which ends in thick scab and causing tearing
burning pain in open air.
Rhagades (fissures, cracks)on finger and
toes. Rhagades,
deep, burning.
[Dr W.H.Burt]
“Sarsaprilla is also
very useful in boils, and eczema. Its action upon the skin is of so valuable a
character, I would urge physicians to test it. In many skin diseases, and old
ulcers its action is quick and well marked.”
Ailments from vaccination, suppression with sulphur or mercury, summer
heat, cold air etc.

polonica. Scalp very sensitive to touch. Falling of

DD.: other skin remedies.
When we repertories +2, +3 and +4 rubrics of skin of sarsaparilla we
find there are lots of medicines which have similar symptoms and with same
intensity.
How to differentiate among these medicines ?
Sulphur.: Used in majority of skin complaints but when we differentiate
it with sarsaparilla, it has dirty discolouration, filthy appearance of skin
and sarsaparilla has dry, wrinkled shrivelled skin.
Sarsaparilla skin aggravates in summer and spring and sulphur has
usually winter aggravation.
Sarsaparilla does not covers boils, bleeding eruptions chiefly but
sulphur has this kind of eruptions.
Sulphur has night aggravation, sarsaparilla has morning and day
aggravation.
Ars.:
Both have burning pains but Arsenic burning is relived by heat. Arsenic
has red coppery and dark discolouration of skin with skin complaints, whereas
sarsaparilla has characteristic emaciated, shrivelled wrinkled patchy skin.
Arsenic discharges are usually offensive and acrid. In Sarsaparilla skin
complaints are usually of right sided and arsenic is considered left side
remedy.
Arsenic has winter aggravation and better by heat (except head) and
sarsaparilla has summer or heat aggravation.
Arsenic patients are very restless both physically and mentally with
prostration, too much worried about their disease. Dissatisfied, need assurance
from doctor etc.
Sep.:
Known as washer women’s remedy. Sepia and sarsaparilla both have number
of similar skin complaints but modalities can help differentiate between these
two.
Sepia has winter and spring aggravation in general and sarsaparilla has
summer and spring aggravation.
Sarsaparilla has skin ailments after vaccination but sepia does not
cover this strongly. Sepia skin complaints usually aggravate after washing.
Sepia is one of the best remedy of herpetic eruptions, eruption in
isolated patches and in sarsaparilla eruption are serpiginous
form.
Mentally sepia has ailments from care, love, worries or grief but in
sarsaparilla complaints are either due to financial loss or due to excessive
masturbation.
Sil.:
Suppuration is more marked in Silicea than
sarsaparilla. Sarsaprilla has tendency to cracks and
fissures and ulcers, rather than suppuration.
Silicea has carbuncle, blood boils, and the
eruption with pus. Keloids are very painful sore.
In general Silicea patients are more chilly
and aggravate by cold air exposure, in Sarasaprilla
there is summer and spring aggravation.
Calc.:
Calc. has tendency to form tubercles i.e., cystic eruptions filled with
white pale discharges. Sarsaparilla and Calcarea carb both have eruption after scratching, but sarsaparilla
has summer or spring aggravation and calcarea has
winter aggravation.
Calcarea carb has
flabbiness in skin and sarsaparilla has wrinkled, shrivelled skin.
Skin dryness and roughness is more pronounced in Calcarea
carb than in sarsaparilla.
Calc. has coldness in general, cold perspiration, aggravation from cold
weather, cold air etc.
Lyc.:
Lycopodium and Sarsaparilla are very similar
in their action both are extensively used in renal stones. Similarly, in skin
both have old premature wrinkled skin. But Lycopodium
has clammy skin with pale yellow discolouration. Lycopodium
has marked burning associated with many skin complaints, Sarsaparilla does not
have burning of the same intensity.
Lycopodium and Sarsaparilla both are wonderful
medicine for warts Lycopodium has pedunculated
jagged warts which may be bleeding, burning and Sarsaparilla has old, small and
withered warts.
Both have skin cracks but sarsaparilla has deep and bloody cracks and
cracks in new skin. Lycopodium has cracks specially
on soles.
Both have marked dryness of skin but in Lycopodium
dryness is usually associated with burning and inability to perspire.
Lycopodium has wonderful action on skin boils
and carbuncle, impetigo and Sarsaprillla has crusty
eruption chiefly.
Merc.:
Merc. and Sarsaparilla both have skin cracks which
are deep and bloody but Merc has fetid discharge.
Sarsaparilla and Merc. both have serpiginous eruptions but Merc
sol has very sensitive margins.
Although Merc. is in itself a wonderful remedy
for ulcers but Sars. has also cured ulcer
successfully when they are of mercurial origin. Both have deep ulcers but Merc. ulcers are dirty in appearance.
Nitric Acid –
Nitric acid also has tendency to cracks which are deep and bloody but
Nitric acid patients usually aggravates in change of weather and Sarsaparilla
in summer and spring.
Nitric acid has boils, carbuncles which are large, periodical and with
stinging pain but Sarsaparilla has serpiginous
eruptions.
Nitric acid and Sarsaprilla both have warts
but Nitric acid has bleeding, painful, pedunculated,
itchy, moist and large warts. On the other hand Sarsaprilla
warts are small, dry, withered and old in character.
Appearance of skin is characteristic in sarsaparilla, withered
shrivelled skin which is not found in Nitric acid.
Rhus tox-
In Rhus tox skin
eruptions often alternate with dysentery, respiratory complaints or any other
internal complaints. It has special affinity for herpetic and vesicular
eruptions.
Rhus tox and Sarsaparilla
both have spring aggravation but like Sepia, Rhus tox has winter or cold aggravation and Sarsaparilla has summer
aggravation.
Rhus tox skin usually
does not aggravate before menses but Sarsaparilla skin has aggravation before
menses.
Hepar sulph :

very chilly.
Lachesis-
