Mythos: Die Midgardschlange (Weltenschlange) (altnordisch Miðgarðsormr; auch Jörmungandr) ist in der germanischen Mythologie eine die Welt (Midgard) umspannende Seeschlange, die im Ur-Ozean lebt. Wie Hel und der Fenriswolf wurde auch sie von Loki mit der Riesin Angrboda gezeugt und gehört damit zu den drei germanischen Weltfeinden. Thor begegnet ihr dreimal und tritt zweimal an, sie zu vernichten.

The
Snake is the sixth of all zodiac animals. According to one myth, the Jade Emperor
said the order would be decided by the order in which they arrived to his
party.
Because
of their similar looks, Snake and Dragon were good friends. They arrived at the
same time. But unfortunately, due to the size difference, the Jade Emperor
first
saw
Dragon, and then Snake. The Snake is also associated with the Earthly Branch (地支—dì
zhī) sì (巳) and the hours 9–11 in the morning. In the
terms of yin and yang (阴阳—yīn yáng), the Snake is yin.
Snakes
usually have a negative diction and are symbols of witchcraft. Nǚ Wā
(女娲), the creator of the world in
Chinese mythology, had a human’s head and a snake’s body.
Snakes
have a deep and complex mind, but if they love, they love with their entire
heart.
Recent
years of the Snake are: 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025
Paired
with the Celestial Stems (天干—Tiān gān), there is a
60-year calendrical cycle. Although sì is associated with fire, the years also
cycle through the five elements of nature (五行—wǔ xíng).

Blutung und Snakes
[Kavite Shandrak]
Snake venom has many enzymes, lipids, free amino acids and is rich in
proteins. Some proteins help in thickening blood and in clot formation. Certain
proteins which have
anti-coagulating compounds are helpful in thinning of blood. Hence they
are beneficial in hypercoagulopathy and in dissolving a thrombus.
Every snake venom has different constituents but they all have a great
affinity for haemorrhagic disorders. Snake remedies are quick to act and so
useful in acute hemorrhage,
as well for deep constitutionals to help in settling the haemorrhagic
tendency.

Venomous snakes can be divided into four families:
Elapidae (cobras, kraits, ringhals, mambas, and
coral snakes),
Viperidae (crotalis and vipers),
Hydrophiidae (sea snakes)
Colubridae (only a small number of this large
family are venomous).
The abundance and variety of toxins are even greater than the diversity
of species of snake producing them, as all venoms are complex mixtures of
proteins and 30 peptides with different properties. The mamba venoms are
particularly rich in neurotoxins 4 species of mambas: the Dendroaspis
angusticeps, D. angusticeps; the Western Dendroaspis angusticeps, D. viridis;
the Black mamba, D. polylepis; and Jameson's mamba, D. jamesonii. They are all
found in southern and tropical parts of Africa. The mamba venoms contain a
number of toxins of great pharmacological interest: α-neurotoxins, which
bind to postsynaptic nicotinic receptors; dendrotoxins, which block certain
voltage-dependent potassium channels; and fasciculins, which are
non-competitive inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (Cervenansky, Dajas, Harvey
and Karlsson, 1991) and calciseptins, which block L-type calcium channels; and muscarinic
toxins (MTs), which bind to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (Bradley, 2000).
[Dr Ravindra Saraswat]
Each snake has it’s own defense mechanism and the poisonous snakes have
proven to be the most useful in homeopathy because of the toxic nature of their
venom.
Their weak spot is the neck. A blow to the neck will usually kill a
snake. Hence we see a lot of symptoms of the neck and throat in the snake
remedies.
The toxic nature of the venom will usually affect the blood or the
nervous system. These snake remedies are very useful in these types of disease.
We should never forget
the nature of the animal though. It will always tell us much about the
remedy.
[J.T. Kent]
The periodicity in the snake poisons is related to the spring, to the
coming on of warm weather.
[Peter Fraser]
In terms of Kentian thought the Boidae, the constrictors, are about the
Intellect, the processes of discrimination and integration, whereas the
venomous snakes are more connected to the Will, the processes of acting and expressing.
The pathologies of the venomous snakes are to do with the heart, the
blood and the generative organs and the pathologies of the constrictors are
found in the digestive tract
(Boa) and the respiratory organs (Python).
[Marysia Kratimenos]
Common characteristics
The snake remedies share certain common characteristics. They all
dislike extremes of temperature and are very sensitive to changes in weather
and seasons.
Naja can be terrified of rain.
Their symptoms recur at regular intervals. They feel better from
movement and free flow of bodily fluids and < following inactivity (sleep).
Symptoms flare up when the
menstrual periods are stopped (pill, pregnancy or menopause).
Snakes shed their skin and “snake people” often suffer with flaking
skin. They are prone to nasty septic lesions and have a tendency to bruising
and bleeding.
The skin often becomes discoloured, bluish or reddish-purple with
infections.
A dislike of constriction, means snakes can only be safely held around
the neck.
Those requiring snake remedies are often intolerant of tight clothing
(neck). Often a tendency to sore throats and it is easier to eat than drink.
Snakes do not have eyelids and hypnotise their prey, the eyes of the
patients have a mesmeric quality. They are prone to nasty eye infections.
[E.A. Farrington]
All of the Ophidia cause choking, constrictive sensation coming from
irritation of the pneumogastric area. All of them have dyspnoea and heart
symptoms. The heart symptoms
of Naja greatly resemble those of Lachesis, but its symptoms point more
to the remote effects of cardiac valvular lesions. Those of Lachesis more to
the incipiency of rheumatic disease of the heart. In Naja there is a
well-marked frontal and temporal headache with the cardiac symptoms. Under the
snake-poisons the feet are cold, because the heart is too weak to force the
blood to the periphery.

Snakes
are related to other reptiles and are thought to have evolved from lizard
ancestors and are closely related to lizards. The first snakes appeared about
100 - 150 million years ago along the southern continents (Marais, 2004).

SNAKE BIOLOGY AND BEHAVIOUR
2.2.1
Evolution
Snakes
are related to other reptiles and are thought to have evolved from lizard
ancestors and are closely related to lizards. The first snakes appeared about
100 -150 million years ago along the southern continents (Marais, 2004).
2.2.2
Snake biology
Snakes
are characterised by their highly adapted skulls. The lower jaws are not fused
in the front. The upper jaws are delicate and loose and this anatomical
structure allows snakes to feed on large prey species (Marais, 2004).
2.2.3
Vision
Snakes
use their vision as a detecting movement to view their prey and carefully move
along their pathways. Snakes will not strike at stationery objects unless it is
their prey.
Most
snakes have monocular vision. Their eyelids are not movable as they have a
fixed transparent shield which is shed during their sloughing process (Marais,
2004).
2.2.4
Hearing
Snakes
lack hearing structures and cannot hear airborne sounds. They possess an
auditory nerve and are able to hear sounds through dense mediums. They are
sensitive to vibrations and through this vibration of energy they detect
animals, people or prey that approach them (Marais, 2004).
2.2.5
Smell
Snakes
have a forked tongue that is used to “smell”. The tongue has a flickering
movement so as to pick up particles from the air. Their tongue can also pick up
scent trails and thus locate their prey (Marais, 2004).
2.2.6
Sloughing / shedding
Adult
snakes can shed their outer skin layer up to four times a year. The entire skin
from the tip of the snout to the tail is shed. Before shedding the eyes become
transparent and the snake goes into hibernation as its vision is restricted.
The whole skin is shed in one piece. Prior to the shedding process the snake
will bask in areas with high temperatures to speed up the formation of new skin
(Marais, 2004).
2.2.7
Snake behaviours
Snakes
mate in early spring and the male follows the scent that is left behind by the
female. Upon finding her, the male inspects the female with the flickering
tongue and
will
twist the base of his tail beneath hers to copulate. Males have two penises
which are referred to as hemipenes (Marais, 2004).
Snakes
are referred to as ectothermic which is cold blooded. Thus they depend on the
external environment to supply warmth to their body temperature.
In
cold conditions snakes go into hibernation and during this time live off their accumulated
fats and display reduced activity (Marais, 2004).
Snakes
have 4 types of movement namely serpentine, caterpillar like, concertina type
progression and sidewinding. Snakes don’t chase people and humans can easily
outrun
a
snake (Marais, 2004).
2.2.8
Symbology and cultural reference
According
to the Wikipedia Encyclopaedia (2010) the following are symbolisms of snake
representations in different cultures:
In
Hindu mythology the snake is referred to as “Naga” and associated with the
Hindu deities Vishnu and Shiva. Vishnu lies on a coiled snake and Shiva has
green snakes coiled around his neck.
In
African mythology the snake is looked upon as the incarnation of deceased
relatives.
In
Christianity the snake is connected with the Garden of Eden and Satan and as a
result the snake lost its earlier association with wisdom and healing, instead
becoming
noted
as a symbol of evil.
Transmutation
Snake
medicine people are very rare. Their initiation involves experiencing and
living through multiple snake bites, which allows them to transmute all
poisons, be they mental, physical, spiritual, or emotional. The power of snake
medicine is the power of creation, for it embodies sexuality, psychic energy, alchemy,
reproduction and ascension (or immortality).
The
transmutation of the life-death-rebirth cycle is exemplified by the shedding of
Snake's skin. It is the energy of wholeness, cosmic consciousness and the
ability to experience anything willingly and without resistance. It is the
knowledge that all things are equal in creation and that those things which
might be experienced as poison can be eaten, ingested, integrated and
transmuted if one has the proper state of mind.
Thoth,
the Atlantian who later returned as Hermes and was the father of alchemy, used
the symbology of two snakes intertwining around a sword to represent healing.
Complete
understanding and acceptance of the male and female within each organism
creates a melding of the two into one, thereby producing divine energy.
This
medicine teaches you on a personal level that you are a universal being.
Through accepting all aspects of your life, you can bring about the
transmutation of the fire medicine. This fire energy, when functioning on the material
place, creates passion, desire, procreation and physical vitality. On the
emotional place, it becomes ambition, creation, resolution and dreams. On the
mental place it becomes intellect, power, charisma and leadership. When this
Snake energy reaches the spiritual plane, it becomes wisdom, understanding,
wholeness and connection to Great Spirit.
If
you have chosen this symbol, there is a need within you to transmute some
thought, action, or desire so that wholeness may be achieved. This is heavy
magic, remember magic is no more than a change in consciousness. Become the
magician or the enchantress: transmute the energy and accept the power of the
fire.
Contrary
If
you have drawn this symbol in the reverse, you may have chosen to mask your
ability to change. Look at the idea that you may fear changing your present
state of affairs because this may entail a short passage of discomfort. Does
this discomfort keep you from assuming the viewpoint of the magician within? Is
the old pattern safe, reliable
and
a rut? In order to glide beyond that place which has become safe but
nonproductive, become Snake. Release the outer skin of your present identity.
Move through the dreamlike illusion that has insisted on static continuity and
find a new rhythm as your body glides across the sands of consciousness, like a
river winding its way toward the great waters of the sea. Immerse yourself in
that water and know that the single droplet which you represent is being
accepted by the whole.
Feel
Snake's rhythm and you will dance freely, incorporating those transmuting
forces of the universe as a part of your sensual dance of power.
Overview
Snake
is a reptile that is able to shed its skin and live through a traumatic
life-death-rebirth experience. So as life and with transmutation from one
experience to another and from one level of existence to another.
Snake
teaches you to recognize that you are an eternal being experiencing mortality,
you are constantly shedding anything that has served its purpose, in favor of
something which is of greater value.
Snake
has transformational ability and supplies the power to use Fire energy in a
correct way. Continuity.
Transmute
all poisons. Shed the skin of the past. Honor the change in progress.

[Farokh
Master]
From
the time immemorial man has always been aware of venomous animals and has had a
natural fear of them. This fear stems from painful experiences early in life
like
being
bitten by an insect. Animals dangerous to man have always excited attention.
Dangerous animals and in particular those which deliver a poisonous bite or
sting, hold
a
particular fascination and horror.
The
words "venonr" and "poison" are almost synonymous, but
venom is usually used to describe a poison that is injected by stinging or
biting.
Poisonous
snakes use their venom for capturing prey. Snakes and their venom are important
natural resources and play an important part in the ecological balance of
ecosystems. Snakes control rodent populations, thus preventing the destruction
of grains and minimizing the spread of diseases found in rodent populations.
General
Attributes
Snakes
are the most linear of vertebrates, having only a skull and an extended spinal
column. Most other vertebrates have some sort of appendages for
locomotion—wings, legs, arms, flippers, finsr-but not the snake. On an
evolutionary scale, snakes are the youngest of the reptiles, having appeared
only about 150 million years ago. Almost undoubtedly snakes have developed from
lizards. Their bodies seem to have adapted to a life of burrowing. The legs
were lost because they would interfere with burrowing. The ear channel was
sealed off to keep out dirt and the ear bones, instead of being connected to
the eardrum, are joined to the Iower jaw for sensing soil vibrations better.
The
unique structure of modern snakes' eyes suggests that the organs had nearly
vanished among ancestral snakes, then re-evolved when snakes once more took to
the surface and needed vision.
Their
paired ribs arch out from each of the hundreds of vertebrae, forming a concave
umbrella that runs the entire length of the body. The amount of movement
between each spinal segment is limited, but the net effect is an animal that
can writhe and coil sinuously, so that even the word we use to describe such
shapes is "Serpentine." Snakes use four patterns of movement: lateral
undulation, concertina movement, rectilinear movement and sidewinding (used by
desert vipers). When they are at rest, their bodies are always coiled, forming
drooping loops; they never remain stretched out.
They
have delicate spines that can be easily damaged; even the skull is made up of
many small, lightly fused bones, lacking the solidity of a mammalian skull. The
ribs are attached to the vertebral column and to each other with elastic
muscles and tendons and also to the skin, which contains other connecting
muscles. Thus, the snake can
control
the movement of its ribs, skin and individual scales as well. Animals are, as a
rule, bilaterally symmetrical that is, appendages and paired organs are the
same size and positioned opposite to each other. Snakes, which have already
dispensed with legs, have also broken the rule of symmetry with regard to
several internal organs due to the elongated narrow cylindrical body shape. Most
snakes have one right lung that is elongated filling the whole body cavity. In
snakes that also have a left lung, it may be reduced or vestigial and
non-functional. The heart is also somewhat elongated and like most reptilian
hearts, is only partly efficient; it has three chambers and the chambers allow
the oxygenated and deoxygenated blood to mix.
More
importantly, a snake lacks an effective way of creating and maintaining body
heat; thus, they are referred to as "cold-blooded" animals.
Distribution
The
"cold-blooded" characteristic explains the worldwide distribution of
snakes; they are most common in tropical and warm desert environments, less so
in temperate zones and all but absent from the highest latitudes and altitudes.
In the tropics, blessed by constant high temperatures the year round, at night
äs well äs during day, snakes can be active with little concern for the
weather, ensuring only that they avoid direct midday sun. In temperate regions,
snakes retreat into hibernation from early autumn until warmer weather arrives.
Hibernating snakes are not asleep äs it is commonly thought, their body
temperature simply drops so low that function becomes impossible - respiration
and heartbeat become almost imperceptible. If the temperature should dip below
freezing, snakes risk death. Many die nevertheless, since though metabolism
diminishes, it does not stop completely and those snakes which do not have
sufficient fat reserves, die.
Fangs
and Teeth
Snakes
can be classed according to the structure of their fangs. Non-venomous snakes
such äs the grass snake have no fangs and are called aglyphs.
The
back-fanged snakes or opisthoglyphs, fangs at the back of the mouth. Each fang
has a groove along which venom flows. To inject a good dose of venom, the snake
hangs on to its victim and chews its flesh. If such a snake is struck away
immediately from the body it has bitten, the bite will not be severe. Cobras
are proteroglyphs with fangs at the front of the mouth, The fangs of some
proteroglyphs bear grooves while, in others, the sides of the grooves meet to
form a canal. The position of the fangs and the canal makes injection of the
venom more efficient. The mambas are proteroglyphs with very potent venom.
The
black mamba is notoriously aggressive.
The
most advanced biting apparatus belongs to the solenoglyphs.
The
vipers, the rattlesnakes, fer-de-lance and others have very long fangs, each
having a canal. When not in use, they are folded along the roof of the mouth.
The strike is rapid, fangs are thrown forward. and the snake then withdraws
without chewing like opisthoglyphs an,d proteroglyphs. Proteroglyph venom acts
mainly on the nervous System, while that of the solenoglyphs attacks the blood
System and destroys tissues. Almost all snakes will bite if provoked, although
there is a world of difference between what constitutes rovocation for
different species. In a confrontation, an animal can kill or maim its adversary
or it may get killed itself. It is far safer to retreat. For this reason,
venomous animals are usually noticed only when they are forced to fight and
have been unable to slip away unseen.
Therefore.
snakes have got a reputation for attacking on sight. Another point to remember
is that the bite or sting may not be 100% effective. Snakes may strike and miss
and accounts of snakebites usually omit the number of bites, which have
resulted in a little or no venom being injected.
A
snake's bottom jaw has a hinge which helps the snake to open its mouth very
wide. It can swallow things which are quite big. All snakes are strictly
carnivorous.
They
can go for extended periods without any food because of slow metabolism.
Snake's teeth (besides fangs) are fairly simple: short, backward curving and
very sharp.
They
are designed merely to grip and hold, but they lack cutting surfaces and cannot
chew or chop the prey into smaller pieces. It must have some way to force the
whole food into its throat. Swallowing a large prey can be a lengthy and
difficult process and may take over an hour. With its mouth plugged, the snake
needs a way to breathe. It does so by extending the glottis, a tube-like organ
embedded in the floor of the mouth, around the prey. The glottis is the perfect
breathing tubes bypassing the food until it is swallowed completely.
The
length of time it takes to digest the food depends on the air temperature.
Most
snakes are happy to eat live 'food' but a few groups of large snakes kill their
prey immediately before eating.
The
teeth of a snake,-(apart from the fangs), are needle-like, sharp and pointed.
The fishhook-like recurved teeth point towards the rear of the snake's throat
and pierce prey easily. With most snakes, having more than 200 teeth, no amount
of struggling enables the prey, once caught, to escape the grasp of the jaws.
A
snake's teeth are continually shed in one of nature's best maintenance programs
and are replaced by new teeth before the older teeth loosen and fall out.
Skin
The
skin of a snake is smooth, cold and dry to touch. Like all reptiles, snakes are
protected by a layer of horny scales growing out of the skin which may hide the
skin completely from view. Scales come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and
textures; there is even a scale, called the brille or spectacle which covers
the lidless eye.
The
outer layer of a vertebrate's skin is dead and must be replaced äs the animal
grows. Human skin cells slough off individually äs scurf, but reptiles and
amphibians shed
the
entire outer layer at once, at fairly regulär intervals. This is called
"molting" and is especially drastic among snakes. The process begins
with the release of hormones which trigger the growth of a new layer of skin
and scales beneath the existing layer. Once that step is completed, lymphatic
fluid is pumped into the microscopic space between the two layers, separating
them and causing the eyes to appear milky. About 24 hours before molting, the
fluid is reabsorbed and the eyes clear. The snake begins to rub its nose
against an abrasive surface, until the tiny rostral scale comes loose, the same
happens with the mental scale at the tip of the lower lip. Gently rubbing, the
snake literally slides out of its old skin, which peels off inside out, like a
long sock.
The
molted skin is thin and translucent, but retains a hint of color and an exact
replica of the snake's scale pattern, right down to the eye brille.
Following
themes emerged from the provings of 8 snakes.
Activity:
Many remedies loved to keep themselves busy.
Anger:
Lot of pent up anger came out in the form of throwing things, from contradiction,
with quick repentance, sadness after anger.
Anxiety:
Very hypochondriac with lot of issues related to his health.
Concentration:
Any literally work makes them dull and sleepy; confusion of mind, forgetfull,
even in well known streets forgets the way.
Out
of Body and De javu: Many provers had de javu and out of body experiences + by
increased awareness of his body.
Awkwardness:
Clumsy movement and embarrassment from awkwardness
Laziness:
Laziness in the morning esp. waking on, this is followed by sadness
(Depression),
indifference to work, business and
surroundings.
Fear:
Fear of being attacked, being alone and of impending disease, loosing self
control and accidents.
Memory
problems: Forgetfulness of day to day activities, makes mistakes in well known
streets, looses the direction of the road, all this leads to confusion.
Irresolution:
Poor confidence and self depreciation (snakes from Naja genus). This finally
leads to strong pessimism.
Benign
Positional Vertigo: Many snake remedies I proved have excess of vertigo (any
motion of the head or eyes/accompanied by fainting).
Occipital
migraine: Many occipital migraine + neck stiffness, > drinking coffee or
warm drinks; <: rest/noise/travelling/motion;

Snake
symbolism in many different cultures emphasises the themes and the essence of
these remedies:
To
the Native Americans, the snake is seen as a symbol of transformation and
healing.
In
early South American societies the snake was depicted as feathered and flying,
a symbol of their greatest god and hero, Quetsalcoatl. It was said that the
heavens and stars and all the motions of the universe were under his control.
In
Greece the snake was a symbol of alchemy and healing. The god Hermes carried a
staff upon which two snakes were entwined. This symbol seems to embody a type
of mediation between earth and heaven in the aim of curing disease. This symbol
is now the primary symbol of western medicine. It is the symbol of wisdom
expressed through healing.
In
India the Goddess Vinata was the mother of snakes and a symbol of water and the
underworld. Shiva wears snakes for bracelets and necklaces which represent
sexuality.
The
serpent has been a symbol of a sexual or creative life force within humans as
is taught in eastern traditions. The kundalini or serpent fire lies coiled at
the base of the spine. They believe that as we grow and develop, the primal
energy is released, rising up the spine. This in turn activates energy centers
in the body and mind, opening new dimensions and levels of awareness, health
and creativity.
[Clementina Rabuffetti]
Wir finden Symptome, die mit zusammenschnüren, zusammenpressen und quetschen zu tun haben. Das bewirkt das Gefühl von Enge und Zusammenziehen. Menschen,
die Schlangenmittel brauchen, sprechen auch von würgen und ersticken.
Die Enge haben sie mit vielen anderen Mitteln gemeinsam (Bell. Calc. Lyc. Phos. Puls.), das Erstickungsgefühl (Apis. Caus. Graph. Phyt. Verat.)
Sie sind eifersüchtig, misstrauisch. Konkurrenz ist stark präsent: sie vergleichen sich mit anderen, die schöner, reicher, intelligenter oder mächtiger sind. Hier müssen wir
gut differenzieren, weil Konkurrenz auch bei vielen Mitteln tierischer Ursprungs und bei manchen Metallen bekannt ist.
Sie warnen, drohen und dann greifen an. Oder sie verstecken sich und agieren aus dem Hinterhalt. Ihre Strategie ist zu täuschen bzw. manipulieren, aber sie können genau
so gut Opfer von Täuschung und Manipulation werden.

Negativ: Instinkt/unverstandene

Alle Schlangengifte wirksam auf Nerven (betäubend).
Es sieht im Film immer sehr ritterlich aus, wenn der Helfer mit dem Messer
die Wunde des Bissopfers aufschneidet und das Schlangengift heraussaugt. Ein
probates Mittel ist es aber nicht.
Im Gegenteil: Wer in der Wunde herum schneidet, sorgt für eine höhere
Durchblutung des Gewebes und damit für eine schnellere Verteilung des Gifts im
Blutkreislauf.
Zeit-Online
Stimmt’s?
Und kann man durch Saugen überhaupt das Gift aus dem Körper holen? Ärzte
von der University of California injizierten 8 Freiwilligen eine Flüssigkeit,
die in ihrer Konsistenz dem Gift
einer Schlange entsprach, und versahen die Männer mit Wunden, die dem Biss
einer Klapperschlange ähnelten. Nach 3 Minuten saugten sie mit einer
handelsüblichen Pumpe, die für den Einsatz bei Schlangebissen empfohlen wird,
Blut aus der Wunde. Die Menge des Pseudogifts, die sie dabei zurück gewannen,
war »insignifikant«. Der Körper nimmt also offenbar solche Substanzen zu
schnell auf, als dass man sie durch Saugen wieder herausbekäme. Damit erübrigt
sich auch die Frage nach der Vergiftungsgefahr für den Helfer. Bei
Schlangenbissen sollte man das Opfer ruhig stellen, insbesondere die gebissene
Region, und für einen möglichst schnellen Transport ins nächste Krankenhaus
sorgen;

Snake is a symbol of healers/pharmacies (= Aesculap).
‡ Terrestrial venomous snakes can be divided into 3
groups:
• true vipers (Viperidae): clotting disorder.
• pit vipers incl. rattlesnakes (Crotalidae), clotting
disorder
• cobras, coral
snakes, mambas, etc. (Elapidae) with
curare-like neurotoxins, paralysing.
Mostly
8 snake venoms are now employed: Lach. Crot-h. Crot-terrificus. Naja. Vip-b.
Both. Cench. Elaps.
In
remedy provings almost all snakes display an emphasis l. (Lach.) or r.
(Crot-h.)
Clotting
disorders (black and blue marks), swallowing disorders and sensations of
constriction in the throat region. On the soul (“mind”) level, there are
indications for “loquacity” (Lach.)/as for a quiet, withdrawn state and aphasia
(Crot-h. Both.).
With
these (and other) symptoms, snake venoms produce an “ideal image” of stroke.
Homeopathic
therapy in stroke was conducted most frequently with snake venoms.
The
majority of patients received either Lach. (l-sided) or Crot-h. (r.-sided).

Heilmittel GmbH graciously told us of a therapeutic concept that was to prove
effective in practice, one essentially based on a combination of 2 important
remedies in stroke (Arn. + Lach.) along with organ preparations of the affected
region.
• taking of complex or single homeopathic
remedies, as well as
• phytotherapeutic measures,
• embrocations and baths,
• movement exercises from the field of

Colubridae (only a small number of this large
family are venomous).
The abundance and variety of toxins are even greater than the diversity
of species of snake producing them, as all venoms are complex mixtures of
proteins and peptides with different properties.
The mamba venoms are particularly rich in neurotoxins. There are four
species of mambas: the Dendroaspis angusticeps, the Western Dendroaspis
angusticeps, D. viridis; the Black mamba, D. polylepis; and Jameson's mamba, D.
jamesonii.
They are all found in southern and tropical parts of Africa. The mamba
venoms contain a number of toxins of great pharmacological interest:
α-neurotoxins, which bind to postsynaptic nicotinic receptors; dendrotoxins,
which block certain voltage-dependent potassium channels; and fasciculins,
which are non-competitive inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (Cervenansky,
Dajas, Harvey and Karlsson, 1991) and calciseptins, which block L-type calcium
channels; and muscarinic toxins (MTs), which bind to muscarinic acetylcholine
receptors (Bradley, 2000).
Pathology of the venomous snakes: heart, blood and generative organs
Dank Constantin Hering, durch den das bekannte Mittel Lachesis, aus der Buschmeisterschlange gewonnen, in die Homöopathie Einzug hielt, finden auch Schlangenmittel seit langem ihre Anwendung bei homöopathischen Behandlungen. Es folgten viele weitere Schlangenmittel, darunter Arzneien hergestellt aus dem Gift der Königskobra (Ophiophagus hannah), diverser Klapperschlangen (Crotalus) oder der Schwarzen Mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis).
Es ist uns gelungen, darüber hinaus mehrere Homöopathica aus weniger bekannten Schlangenarten herzustellen, darunter viele Gift- aber auch Würgeschlangen.

Rattle snake features
Solitary, aggressive and dangerous to know—that's how most people see
rattlesnakes. Yet scientists are beginning to reveal a seemingly caring,
family-loving side to these deadly reptiles.Rattlesnakes exhibit
characteristics assoc w advanced sociability, including group defense,
pheromone alarm signals and maternal care of young. "Predators
can repeatedly return to prey on group members. However, this cost may
be offset by the enhanced ability of a group to defend against such
predators." Faced with many predators, group defense may well be the best
strategy. Individuals are willing to sacrifice themselves, given the likelihood
that a high proportion of genes related to them would live on through family
members.

Pathology of the constrictors: digestive tract (Boa) and the respiratory
organs (Python). The main feeling in the constrictors is that the world is out
of control and they need
to make a great effort in order to stop it from spinning into complete
chaos. They need to hold on tight. However, this process takes effort,
concentration and energy and
they begin to feel oppressed and constricted by the efforts that they
make.
The differentiation between the constrictors lies in how they impose
order and hold their world together and what this is that then constricts them.
and the pathologies of the constrictors are found in the digestive tract
(Boa) and the respiratory organs (Python).

"Die Welt der Würgeschlangen ist eine ohne Giftprinzip"
[Witold Ehrler]
(Mitbegründer der C4-Homöopathie) hat die von ihm persönlich verriebenen und geprüften Würgeschlangen in ihren Wirkungsschichten zu einem Mandala zusammengefügt,
das in Beziehung zu Ehrlers weithin bekanntem System der 14 Nothelfer steht.
Während es bei den Giftschlangen um einen Widerspruch, eine anscheinend nicht lösbare innere Verletzung geht, ist das Lebensgefühl des Würgeschlangenprinzip wie vor
der Vertreibung aus dem Paradies. Hier herrscht noch nicht die Spaltung und Unterscheidung der dualistischen, polaren Welt.
Im vorliegenden Vortrag stellt er die Wesensarten von 7 Würgeschlangen vor. Sie repräsentieren bestimmte heilerische Entwicklungsstufen.

zum Augenblick hin. Im Einklang mit dem Kairos-Prinzip kann die Gunst des Gegenwärtigen besser erkannt und mutiger genutzt werden.
Eunectes murinus (/= Anaconda) birgt das Thema des Subjekt-Seins. Es geht darum, zu unterscheiden, welche Quelle direkt ins Leben oder aber in abstrakte Konzepte führt.
Nicht der Geist, nicht die Konvention, nicht die Seele, sondern das Leben selbst macht „Zivilisierte“ wieder zu lebendigen Menschen.
Auf der dritten Ebene begegnen wir der Boa constrictor (/= Königsboa//= Abgottschlange). In ihr zieht sich das „Ich“ zugunsten der Gemeinschaft zurück. Fruchtbare Begegnungen sind nur außerhalb von Hierarchie möglich, da Hierarchie immer Konkurrenz, Neid und Zwietracht hervorbringt. Es geht um das „Fühlen des sozialen Körpers“.
Python molurus (/= Tigerpython), Schlange der C4-Ebene, geht es um echte Liebesentscheidungen. Solche freien Entscheidungen können wir nur als Einzelne treffen. So verbindet diese Schlange den Einzelnen innerlich mit einer allumfassenden Kraftquelle und mit dem tieferen Sinn seines Lebens.
Morelia kinghorni (/= Amethystpython) hilft dem Menschen bei seiner Aufgabe, höhere objektive Ordnungen zu finden und mit ihnen in Dialog zu treten: "Bindet euch an höhere Ordnungen an. Erst dann seid ihr befugt andere Menschen anzuleiten und zu therapieren."
Epicrates cenchria (/= Regenbogenboa) steht für die Verführung zum Leben. Sie befähigt auch andere ins Leben zu führen, die nicht weiterkommen, und ihnen auch durch unkonventionelle Methoden auf die Sprünge zu helfen.
Elaphe longissima (/= Aesculapnatter) steht schließlich für das Prinzip der C7-Ebene: Der Patient wird befähigt, sein Lebensthema in Eigenverantwortung zu bearbeiten.
Wirkung: syphillitisch (Naja/Elaps /= cancer miasm)
Allerlei: Schlangen werden „gemolken“ um Gift zu gewinnen.
Schlangen können zum Leben den Mensch folgen. Scheu. 50%? aller Verteidigungsbisse sind ungiftig.

Phytology: Typically the snakebite site is a necrotic area - the skin
sloughs off due to action by proteases in the venom, which first turn the area
bruised and swollen before digesting skin and tissue.
The stronger the protease in the venom and its quantity relate directly
to how much skin and tissue damage results at the site of the bite. For this
reason, many herbal remedies that have been validated as snakebite remedies
(employed at the site of the bite) have been shown to be natural protease
inhibitors also. In fact, many pharmaceutical company researchers
bio-prospecting for new chemicals and drugs in the Amazon are very interested
in those plants the Indians employ as snakebite remedies for just this reason.
It may be possible that Dr. Inchuastegui stumbled across one of these natural
protease inhibitors in his work with HIV patients and jergón sacha. Clinical
research is still required however, to verify the mechanisms of action in
jergón sacha against viruses and against snakebite and particularly, if they
are one and the same.
