FREE Homeopathy Techniques Questions and Answers
The poison-nut or strychnine tree is the source of this preparation. Its name sounds a lot like vomiting, which is one of the symptoms it is said to treat. Which kind of preparation is it?
Vomica, a portion of the solution, is very similar to vomiting. In this instance, the scientific name for the poison-nut tree, or strychnine, is Nux vomica, the homeopathic source. This raises a thought-provoking issue. The second word is never capitalized in scientific terminology, but it can and usually is in homeopathic preparations. Going forward, I will indicate scientific names with (sn) and homeopathic names with (hn) for clarity. The claim that Nux Vomica(hn) relieves nausea and other stomach problems is unsupported by scientific research.
Southeast Asia is the native home of the strychnine tree, an evergreen. Its seeds contain brucine, which is extremely poisonous.
The lethal nightshade is the source of the initial preparation. It literally translates to "beautiful woman" in Italian. Which kind of preparation is it?
Bella donna" means "beautiful woman" in Italian, as does the preparation in question. Numerous homeopathic remedies derive their names from their original sources. In this instance, the plant is called Atropa belladonna, or the deadly nightshade. The species is also known by the common names devil's cherries, banewort, and devil's herb. The nightshade family, which also includes potatoes, tomatoes, and egg plants, is the source of Atropa belladonna.
The next recipe is made with St. John's wort. The claim that it is beneficial for *puncture* wounds serves as a hint. Give the prep its name.
Perforate, which resembles Perforatum in Hypericum Perforatum(hn), is a synonym for puncture. There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that it can heal puncture wounds. Herbal forms of Hypericum perforatum(sn), commonly known as St. John's wort, are widely used. Actually, Hypericum(sn) has been used since antiquity in Greece.
The next recipe calls for wild hops. Every time I see it, Jessica, a well-known actress, comes to mind. Which setup do you have here?
The term "Jessica Alba" in this context refers to a well-known actress by the same name as Bryonia Alba(hn). The English species of bryony, Bryonia alba(sn), is also referred to as wild hops or white bryony. Under the same name as the homeopathic preparation, wild hops are also used as a herbal preparation.
Another name for this preparation is Hahnemann's Calcium Sulfide. The fact that it bears the same initials as Truman's first two initials may be helpful. Is it a preparation?
Harry S. Truman, so Hepar Sulph is caused by HS. Its other name comes from the fact that Hahnemann himself demonstrated this preparation in the past. Here, "proven" refers not to scientific proof but to the process by which homeopaths determine what constitutes a remedy and what does not. Sulfur flowers and the flaky inner layer of oyster shells are used to make it.
The next preparation comes from vegetable charcoal. Think Latin in appearance, and that should be all the hint you need. What does this get ready for?
Vegetable charcoal inverted is called vegetable charcoal and resembles Carbo Vegetabilis, which also appears to be Latin in origin. Since ancient times, charcoal, or more specifically activated charcoal, has been used as a cleanser, particularly for water. Toxins, like those consumed in an overdose, are absorbed using it in the medical field.
Northern white cedar, or arborvitae, is the source of the following preparation. The name's part that appears to be a synonym for "Western" is your hint for this one. Which kind of preparation is it?
