Description of the plant

Spotted hemlock is a biennial plant that can reach up to two meters in height. It got its name because of the toxic effect it has on the body. In the first year, hemlock looks simply like a bunch of basal leaves, which an inexperienced person or child can easily confuse with parsley or carrot tops. This may cause poisoning. The first symptoms of intoxication due to poisoning are dizziness and headache. In the second year of growth, the plant develops a stem. It becomes hollow and branched, acquires a bluish tint, and dark red spots appear at the bottom of the stem. The flowers are small, white, arranged in complex umbrellas. The fruit is an achene. The plant grows in many regions, with the exception of the Far North.

History of use in medicine and homeopathy

The first mention of hemlock as a medicinal product dates back to the 5th century BC. It was used in the treatment of many diseases. At the same time, it was considered one of the most powerful narcotic plants. As an anesthetic, as well as for scrofula, glandular tumors, and cancer, 0.2-0.3 grams were taken, but due to too frequent cases of poisoning, the drug was banned in traditional medicine.

The drug was introduced into homeopathic practice in 1825 by Hahnemann, who twice tested its effectiveness. He described the results of the first experiment in his work “Pure Medicine”, and the second in his work “Chronic Diseases”. Hahnemann showed interest in the plant because the Austrian physician Sterk described cases of complete recovery of patients suffering from severe forms of illness. Hahnemann used hemlock in small dilutions and obtained positive results. This experience underlies the modern principles of using the drug "Conium".

The development of the drug is based on Hahnemann's experiments and medical research for side effects. The drug has a complete effect on the entire body. In homeopathy, it is classified as a constitutional substance that is used in the treatment of chronic diseases.

In ancient Russian and English folk medicine, this plant was used for a variety of tumor processes: both for internal and external use. Oncologists are showing increased interest in this plant these days, as they see in it prospects for creating drugs that will promote the resorption of tumors and other neoplasms.

Tests have shown that after taking Conium, patients experience the following symptoms:

• weakness in the lower extremities;
• a feeling of dizziness when the patient watches a moving object or turns his head while lying down;
• pain in the left lung (in the upper part);
• feeling as if a lump or ball has formed in the larynx, which causes swallowing.

Hemlock is a fairly common plant and can be found in most European countries, as well as Western Siberia, Africa and Iran. A distinctive feature of the plant is dark red spots on the lower part of the stem (apparently, this is what gave it the name “spotted”).

Description of the homeopathic drug Conium (Conium maculatum)

Vithoulkas

Conium maculatum - Spotted hemlock

Weakness progressing to paralysis Glands hard as stone. Tumors. In the consciousness, in the brain, there is a feeling that there are also “areas of compaction”: it gets stuck on something and cannot move. In Greece there is an expression: “callus (stones) in the head.” An idea that a person does not part with progresses into an obsession. Fixed ideas can reach the point of obsessive-compulsive neurosis. Superstitious: “if I take off my trousers, but at that moment a car passes on the street, then I need to put my trousers back on.” “I can’t go there because such-and-such, or here because such-and-such.”

In the emotional sulfur there is also “paralysis, compaction”: there are spheres that do not move at all. There are emotions that freeze, and he does not express them. They are unemotional and uncommunicative.

Causes weakness, tremor, trembling, paralysis at the emotional and physical (if hormonal activity is suppressed) level. This is a very materialistic person who constantly has to give vent to his sex hormones. If hormones are not released and the hormonal system is blocked, problems begin. They are very sexual, they need regular sex, 2-3 times a day when they are young.

If a woman loses her husband at the age of 55-60, but she is accustomed to a certain rhythm of sexual life with him, then with the loss of sex she will first experience some lethargy, drowsiness, confusion in the head, gradually progressing to dizziness (when turning in bed, standing up and etc. dizziness worsens, a slight movement - and “the whole room is shaking”). At the same time, she cannot start a new relationship, since, being an uncommunicative person, she gets used to a single sexual partner. These women suffer from tumors, especially in the genitals.

When sexual desire is suppressed, the following develop: lumps, tumors in the glands of the reproductive system, more often in the mammary glands in women, in the prostate (swollen hard prostate) in men, which can become malignant + confusion in the head.

Complaints: swollen, hard, painful gonads + “my head is never clear” Conium most often does not give way to its normal sexual needs. They seem to deny the need for sexual release, pushing it out of consciousness for some reason. For example, a wife denies her husband sex, as a result of which his prostate progressively increases in size, hurts, hardens, and his head becomes less and less clear.

Ascending paralysis, the head is never clear.

Tremor, primarily of the lower extremities, sometimes also of the upper extremities.

But Conium is not indicated for Parkinson’s disease, since it does not have an intense tremor, but an adynamic tremor - from weakness - the legs give way from weakness and tremble (thin, fine tremors)

Urination starts and stops, starts and stops, i.e. it takes 3-4 stages to urinate. Same with menstruation (during menopause??).

With bronchitis, he lies down and coughs and coughs until he gets up or sits down, or until at least a drop of mucous sputum comes out.

Question: if a teenager needs masturbation, but suppresses and controls himself. Is it the suppression that causes the symptoms - Is it Conium? And what is better to control yourself or give yourself a way out?

Vithoulkas: If you can control yourself, better control yourself.

But if it produces Conium-type symptoms, give Conium and you will help the patient. But this is rare, because... young people rarely have any side effects from suppressing sexual desire. It is ideal for a young man to restrain himself until he finds himself a wife.

Sweats heavily during sleep. Worse: when looking at moving objects, from alcohol, after physical exertion, old age, at night, from eating bread, closing the eyes, from abstinence

Grangeorge

A person who climbs a mountain and has a problem because he wants to take everything on the way at once (for example, an allopathic doctor takes everything at once: herbal medicine, acupuncture, nutritional supplements, Tien Shi, etc.), but he does not achieve the goal, falls into sexuality.

Happening. One doctor could no longer walk. We stopped by his house several times to do something nice. He looked at all the girls with passion, asked what their names were. They called him "the old shell." One day he called: “I’ve lost one ear.” D. Grangeorge quickly came to his house. He had a sulfur plug. Remove it for better hearing - one medicine = Conium. I gave him this medicine. Everything became fine, he began to walk (the medicine also worked on his paralysis, he is 85 years old), and began to study foreign languages. First, the Italian one went there, then the German one went to Germany, then the Spanish one went to Spain.

This medicine is also good to prescribe for learning foreign languages. These are people who speak all languages ​​well. If a child has difficulty learning languages, he should be given Conium (15 or 30 CH). If you have problems with mathematics - Baryta carbonica, with literature - Fluoricum Acidum.

Happening. The dog is 8 years old, D. Grangeorge brought it from Africa (Conium). Working in Africa with a small society – a small population. They couldn't write, they only talked, but they were very spiritual. He named the dog Zhek (and they thought it was Chief), so they fed him from the plates of people at the table, no one touched him. He was very domineering - even the big dog left, and he ate from two plates. Wandered, left home for 5 days. Once he returned wet, lethargic, lay down in his basket (after a problem with female dogs), the next day he was paralyzed. I took him to the veterinarian - he said that it was old age, he did not need to be treated, but should be euthanized. I picked him up and took him to another veterinarian. He examined and discovered an enlarged prostate gland. He scheduled an operation. I also took it from this veterinarian and took it to a homeopathic veterinarian. Increased humidity and increased dictatorship - prescribed Conium 9 CH 3 grains = everything became normal and he still lived up to 16 years.

Happening. My grandmother had paralysis of her legs and rode in a stroller. She is very domineering and pedantic by nature. He gave her Conium 30 CH, and he took care of this grandmother’s child. A year later, she had already learned to walk, but she became strange: every morning she takes the Bible and walks around all the apartments and reads the Bible to everyone. She became a prophet.

Conium (Conium) - he is a prophet or very sexy. Like the Rooster. Sacrifice the Rooster to medicine, otherwise the Rooster is Conium (because he goes to look for all the chickens, he will be a prophet in the morning). When something is important, the Rooster crows 3 times. The rooster is a symbol of Conium, it is consciousness. S. Hahnemann = The Rooster is a man who sacrificed himself to medicine. By listening to another person, we get to know ourselves. We also listen to the patient to understand the disease. S. Hahnemann said that even words need to be written down. He also has an aversion to sadness, since he cannot apply sadness to himself.

The homeopathic medicine Conium is also a premenstrual syndrome.

The patient is not outspoken... Insufficiency in the emotional and mental sphere, leading to weak emotional and mental expression.

You usually hear that “sex is not the most important thing...” Most of the women who responded to Conium treatment were lesbians. They had all had failed relationships with men for some time in the past, and usually ended up becoming lesbians after that.

Impact on the body

Taking Konium in small toxic doses leads to relaxation of the body, which borders on a loss of strength. The patient has difficulty maintaining balance and experiences deteriorating vision. At the same time, taking the drug does not affect consciousness in any way - it remains absolutely clear. But after some time the patient loses the ability to move. If the dose is increased, the patient will experience dizziness, as well as rapid breathing and heart palpitations.

In the case of a large dose that enters directly into the blood, the nervous system is excited. Then severe weakness is felt in the limbs - first in the lower, later in the upper. The pupils dilate, so much so that the patient loses the ability to see. At the final stage, paralysis of the muscles of the respiratory system occurs and, as a result, death.

The effect of strong doses of the drug was described above. Its effect on motor centers plays a key role. At the same time, experiments carried out with small dosages of the drug showed that Konium also affects the skin and glands. Also, it is worth noting that it affects the mammary glands, it promotes the resorption of tumors in them. The drug has a similar effect on the testicles and ovaries.

And, lastly, in pathogenesis one can find references to how Conium affects the larynx and its nerves. It provokes severe coughing attacks.

PHYSIOLOGICAL ACTION

Imbert-Gurbeir, in a series of essays published in 1875 in the journal "Medical Art", irrefutably proved that it was Conium maculatum

, and not another variety of hemlock, was given to Socrates and caused the death of the sage, of which we find an excellent description in Phaedo. These are pages that cannot be re-read without excitement. (See Kravkov. Pharmacology. Ed. 1911, p. 323, vol. 1.)

“Until then, almost all of us had enough strength to hold back tears; but seeing how he drank, and after he drank, we no longer controlled ourselves. Despite all my efforts, tears flowed in such a stream that I was forced to cover myself with my cloak; I was not mourning Socrates’ grief, but my own, at the thought that I was about to lose a friend. Crito could not hold back his tears and left before me...

...Meanwhile, Socrates, who was still walking, said that he felt heaviness in his legs, and lay down on his back, as the watchman ordered him. Then the latter approached Socrates, examined his feet and thighs, squeezed his foot tightly and asked if he felt. Socrates answered no. Then he squeezed his thighs and, rising higher, showed us how cold and numb the body was. He felt him again and said that only the cold reaches the heart, Socrates will die. The entire lower part of my stomach was already cold. Then, revealing himself (he was covered), Socrates said (these were his last words): “Crito, we owe a rooster to Aesculapius, do not forget to bring this gift. “This will be done,” replied Crito. “Won’t you tell us anything more?” - There was no answer, and a little later he made a convulsive movement. Then the watchman opened it completely; Socrates' gaze was motionless. Crito, seeing this, closed his mouth and eyes..."

Two thousand years later, Christison writes: “In various experiments made with a very strong alcoholic extract from fresh seeds, the only phenomena were paralysis, first of the voluntary muscles, then of the pectoral muscles, and lastly of the muscles of the diaphragm, paralytic asphyxia with slight convulsive jerking of the limbs.” .

The first results of weak toxic doses are felt half or three quarters of an hour after ingestion of the poison; they consist of a feeling of languor, relaxation, with a drop in muscle strength; the gait becomes unsteady, the knees become weak, and vision is blurred. At the same time, consciousness remains calm and clear, sensitivity is preserved; the impairment of motor ability disappeared an hour after the onset of all the above-described phenomena. As the dose increases, dizziness, precardiac anguish, palpitations, and increased breathing are observed.

Finally, with strong poisonous doses, excitation phenomena are initially observed, which do not occur when hemlock leaves or seeds are taken orally, but are observed only when the dose of poison suddenly penetrates the blood. Then follows a period of collapse: weakness of the lower extremities, making the gait sway, then first muscle strength in the arms is lost, and soon all possibility of voluntary movements disappears. Sensitivity progressively decreases. The pupils are dilated and motionless, and visual disturbances are observed. Finally, paralysis of the respiratory muscles leads to asphyxia and death.

This is the main action of Conium

in a strong dose; it acts on the motor centers, for which, as Harley puts it, it is a “true hypnotic.” The oculomotor nerve is severely affected: there are accommodation disorders with dizziness, ptosis, dilated pupils, and diplopia.

Experiments by homeopaths, carried out with weaker doses, taken over a long period of time, have undoubtedly proven its effect on the glands and skin.

Conium

has an almost specific effect on the mammary glands, dissolving tumors and swellings. Dunam speaks of the same effect on the ovaries and testicles.

When applied topically, Harley observed “a dry, scaly rash on the skin, in places crescent-shaped, and very severe irritation of the skin with a dark copper color, very similar to the irritation of leprosy.”

Pathogenesis also speaks of its effect on the larynx and laryngeal nerves, so often confirmed by practice that there is no doubt. This action is expressed in “a short, dry, almost continuous cough, worsening in bed.”

Indications for use

Conium ointment is prescribed for the following indications:

• the mammary gland is painful, swollen;

The instructions for the drug indicate that bronchitis and cough are indications for the use of the drug Konium 6. It is recommended to take it even in case of severe sputum discharge or when attacks of painful coughing occur during sleep, which is accompanied by very deep breaths with wheezing.

At the same time, the drug has proven effectiveness in the treatment of facial neuralgia, the main symptom of which is pain in the infraorbital nerve, which intensifies at night.

Also, indications for use of the drug are:

• diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, accompanied by increased formation of hydrochloric acid;

Conium type patient

A patient who belongs to the constitutional type of Conium is most likely an old man who cannot walk quickly. His gait can be described as shaking. At the same time, patients complain of unbearable weakness when walking and problems with the limbs. We can say that this drug corresponds to all diseases that are characteristic of older people.

A Conium type patient is a person experiencing a loss of strength, hypochondria, disorders of the genitourinary system, and memory impairment.

In addition, Konium is recommended for use by patients who suffer from cancer or scrofula.
