Saxifragales Anhang
[Stephanie Nile]
Saxifragales themes
Sensitivity to insult. On the physical level there is heaviness and
compression. In the mental sphere it produces the opposite - confusion,
separation, dissociation and expansion. “As if feeling being alone”, lost and
etherial.

Therapeutics:
Dark venous haemorrhages. and traumatic inflammations, of any part, from
injury, esp. laceration.
Phlebitis and Varicose veins.
Some texts assert that is causes (and cures) inflammation of the thin
inner layer of smooth muscle the vein - which has the effect of narrowing the
channel (vasoconstriction).
The secondary effect is vasodilation.
Rubrics:

DD.: China, Phosphorus, Crocus, Erigeron and Trillium in haemorrhage.
Sensation: Painful bursting or fullness. Expansion. Floating.
Miasm: Syphilis or Cancer.
Veins return blood at low pressure. The tunica media is thinner than
that of the arteries because they have less muscle; they rely on valves to
prevent backflow, particularly in the lower extremities. Since they are
elastic, veins can distend and recoil to some extent, to allow for sudden
changes in blood pressure. When cut veins collapse.
In larger arteries, such as the Aorta, the tunica media is extremely
elastic - stretching allows them to absorbe the pressure wave (pulse) generated
by the heart. Smaller arteries are less elastic and more muscular to allow fine
control of diameter. When cut arteries spurt blood.
