Homeopathic Remedies for the Treatment of Rheumatism by BOUKO LEVY M., Homeopathic and Drainage Repertory
Introduction to Rheumatism:
Since the beginning of medicine until today, humans have used all the elements around them to treat their rheumatism.
Homeopaths have many powerful remedies to relieve the patient’s discomfort and control the handicapping evolution of this disease process without unpleasant or dangerous side effects.
Phytogemmotherapy, organotherapy, and trace elements constitute the basic daily treatments, but nothing can be stabilized without the satellites and polychrests.
In general, use the remedy in 5C potency.
For plant homeopathics, use M.T. to 6X and 4C.
During acute attacks, very low potencies are often good painkillers.
Higher potencies must be used in severe cases, several times a day if necessary.
When certain of the correct remedy in acute cases, such as in cough or pain, a very effective remedy can be made by mixing different potencies of the same substance, for instance : RHUS TOX M.T. / 5C / 7C / 9C / 15C / a.a. p..
Also use injectable homeopathics in the painful points.
(See :gallbladder, lumbago, torticollis).
Another good technique consists of giving the chosen remedy every hour, increasing the potency with each dose.
For instance : BRYONIA 5C, then 9C, then 15C, then 30C.
Among all the nosodes, MEDORRHINUM and TUBERCULINUM RESIDUUM are essential. Start using a 9C potency, once a month.
