– SUDARSHAN SR ,NON MALARIAL FEVERS
 This remedy has earned a reputation for being almost a specific for typhoid. In 1914, an American researcher Dr. R. Mallon had shown that Baptisia possessed the power of producing in the blood of healthy individuals an agglutinin which will agglutinate typhoid bacilli. The research showed that while the agglutination reaction began when 2x and 3x potency were used, it became most marked only when 1x and the tincture were used in large quantity.
 KENT:  “All of its acute diseases and complaints have the appearance of zymosis, like scarlet fever, diphtheria, typhoid and gangrenous complaints. There is one thing that is unusual about it, it brings on this septic state more rapidly than most other remedies.”
 The zymotic complaints of Ars., Phos., Rhus. And Bry. , are much slower in their pace. But Baptisia is suitable for typhoids that come on rapidly that come on rapidly, and hence it is not so often suitable in idiopathic typhoids.”
 ”You take an individual who has been down in a mine in the swamp, down in the mud, in the sewers, who has inhaled foul gases, who goes into bed with a sort of stupor, from the very beginning he feels stupid. He is prostrated. His face is mottled…….so it has rapid running diseases. It has velocity……..He has fever, and if you look at him and talk to him, and turn him over, and rouse him up, and make him realize that you want to say something to him—- which is difficult, he gives you the impression that he has been on a big drunk. That is the first thought you will have in a Bapt. Case.”
 ”All of the discharges are putrid.”
 ”Confused as if intoxicated.”
 ”There are stages when he is not quite so stupid and he is sleepless and restless. That is the exception. Most generally you will find him lying upon one side curled up like a dog, and he does not want to be disturbed.”
 ”It has a typical typhoid discharge; the most typical typhoid stool is like yellow corn-meal mush, coming on many times a day.”
 ”In treating a good many cases of typhoid, it was my fortune to observe a large number of Bapt. Cases, which the remedy cured promptly. The stool where the Bapt. Did the most service was like ground up state, slate coloured, brownish.”
 ”Can swallow only liquids.”
 ”Exhaustion comes rapidly.”
 ”Excessive drowsiness. Delirious stupor. Lies in a semicomatose state.”
 ALLEN: “Stupor; falls asleep while being spoken to or in the midst of an answer.”
 ”Face flushed, dusky, dark red, with a stupid, besotted, drunken expression (Gels.).”
 ”In whatever position the patient lies, the parts rested upon feel sore and bruised (Arn., Pyr.).”
 The tongue is while at first, with red edges and papillae; brown steak down centre; later dry, cracked, ulcerated.
 The pulse is small, thready, weak, variable, 120-160, the temperature rises rapidly to 103-106.
 CLINICAL: Influenza; typhoid; dengue; puerperal fever; diphtheria, infectious fevers (with trembling of tongue and hands).
 POTENCY: Drop doses of mother tincture to 200. The lower potencies 3x, 6x, 3 and 6 are recommended as prophylactic for typhoid.
 RELATIONSHIP: Compare with Arn., Bry., Gels., in early stage of fever with malaise, nervousness, flushed face, drowsiness and muscular soreness.
 Is followed well by Pyr.
 It antidotes the improper use of Ars. In typhoid.

Syn.-Baptisia, wild indigo.
P. E.-Part, root and leaves.
N. O.-Leguminosæ.
N. H.-United States.
Properties: Antiseptic, stimulant, astringent.
Physiological action: Very large doses will cause severe purging and vomiting. Respiration and reflexes are over stimulated, resulting in asphyxia from paralysis of the reflex centers and death.
Indications: Dusky, purplish full face, dark or purplish tongue, lips and mucous membrane.
Use: We think of it in typhoid fever and other diseases showing typhoid symptoms. In delirium of typhoid or of typhoid nature; diphtheria, diphtheretic laryngitis; dysentery with offensive breath and fetid discharge of a dark prune juice character. Useful in tonsillitis if indicated. As baptisia is not a very powerful antiseptic it will be found to be of great advantage in most cases to associate it with echinacea.

General Symptoms.
The Baptisia patient is mentally restless, but too lifeless to move; dull, stupefying headache. Top of the head feels as if it would fly off. Intolerance of pressure, hence the patient is constantly changing her position.

Special Symptoms.
Lochial discharge exceedingly acrid accompanied with prostration. Ulcers in the vagina and cervix uteri. Acrid leucorrhoea. Frequent miscarriages.
