Berberis (homeopathy, indications for use). Homeopathic drops "Berberis Homaccord"

The drug "Berberis Homaccord" belongs to the group of homeopathic remedies that have a pronounced antispasmodic effect. Taking this medicine has a characteristic analgesic, anti-inflammatory, astringent and antispastic effect on the human body. In addition, the homeopathic remedy "Berberis Homaccord" has detoxification, hepatoprotective, drainage, choleretic, anti-stress and sedative properties. Regular use of this drug restores adrenal function, and also allows you to normalize vegetative balance and mineral metabolism.

The homeopathic remedy "Berberis Gomaccord" is produced in the form of colorless or yellowish-green drops, which have a characteristic odor of ethanol and are intended exclusively for oral administration. This drug contains bitter pumpkin and white hellebore as active ingredients. It is the combination of these three herbal components that determines the beneficial effect of this antihomotoxic agent.

For example, barberry is responsible for activating the drainage function of the gastrointestinal tract, restoring decreased tone of the gallbladder and stimulating the outflow of bile. Hellebore normalizes stomach tone and improves intestinal function. And finally, pumpkin improves blood supply to the abdominal cavity, eliminates spasms of the gastrointestinal tract and has a pronounced diuretic and detoxifying properties. In addition, it is very effective for neuritis and

The instructions recommend taking homeopathic drops "Berberis Gomaccord" mainly for the purpose of relieving spastic conditions of the biliary and urinary tract that have developed against the background of various inflammatory diseases. For example, it is very good to use this antispastic agent for cholecystitis, cystitis or pyelocystitis. People with cholelithiasis or urolithiasis are also recommended to start taking the anti-inflammatory drug Berberis Homaccord. Reviews from experts note the positive results of its use for cholangitis and renal colic.

Among other things, this homeopathic remedy helps well with chronic dermatoses accompanied by pustules and itchy skin, as well as during the recovery period after severe forms of inflammatory diseases. This drug is still capable of restoring impaired adrenal function in a short time.

Doctors categorically do not recommend taking the homeopathic complex "Berberis Gomaccord" to people who suffer from an allergic reaction to any of the components present in the composition. Also, you should not use this astringent and anti-inflammatory drug while pregnant. During breastfeeding, it is also recommended to refrain from taking these drops.

BERBERIS VULGARIS
General action
The plant is known as barberry. In moderate doses, its effect is associated with the alkaloid barbarine, which has sympathicolytic and hypotensive properties. In physiological dosages, it has the following effects on healthy people:

A. In space: acts in three directions:
1. Anatomical and histological: vesicles (gall bladder, renal pelvis, bladder, lacrimal sacs, serous bursae, on the skin: back of the hands, perineum, transition of the skin to the mucous membrane (anus));
2. Physiological: liver and kidneys (acute or chronic congestion): nervous system (oppression predominates): veins (dilatation, hemorrhoids, varicose veins); osteoarticular apparatus (irritation).
3. Chemical: disorder of the metabolism of urinary products (urea, uric acid) with a violation of their excretion: traces of endogenous disorders in the mentioned sections: the surface of the joints, liver, ducts, bile ducts, renal tubules and intestinal excretory tracts, urinary tract and skin.

B. In time:
1. Acute or chronic irritation of the mentioned elements (liver, kidneys, joints, veins), characterized by their overflow with metabolites and under-oxidized products (urea, uric acid, cholesterol and other substances).
2. Nervous system: after a short phase of irritation, depression sets in.
3. The organic reaction at all levels is characterized by spasms and algias, differing only in degree.

B. Summary: overload of organs performing the detoxification function (liver, kidneys, joints, veins) and blockade of the excretory tract (biliary tract, intestines, urinary apparatus, skin) once again indicates that this drug is also an analgesic (congestion and spasms) in these organs) and a “drainage” agent that helps these organs cleanse themselves of autointoxication products (psora or “neuroarthritic diathesis”).
Type.
People are either plethoric, but with poor resistance, or with signs of premature aging. In both cases: weakened, depressed, chilly, with diuresis disorder (biliosanguine diathesis).

Mental symptoms
They are divided into two types depending on the somatic context.

1. Melancholic apathy with weakening of memory.

Barberry is a plant of the barberry family, used as a homeopathic remedy since the first half of the 19th century. The medicine was introduced into homeopathy by Dr. Hesse. Dried barberry bark is used to prepare the tincture.

How does berberis affect the patient's body?

The main feature of the influence of berberis on the human body is the appearance of pain in various places. They can occur absolutely everywhere, including in the eyes, muscles, and joints. Painful sensations are piercing and cutting in nature and quickly change location; in other words, they can disappear at one point and recur at another.

In general, homeopaths note that berberis has a particularly strong effect on the liver and kidneys.

Indications for use of berberis

The homeopathic medicine berberis helps well with diseases of the nervous system, including fears and anxiety, headaches of various kinds and dizziness, drowsiness and poor memory, depression and neurasthenia, and more.

Among eye ailments, homeopathic berberis is prescribed for burning in the eyes, as well as for a feeling of sand and acute pain.

Diseases of the respiratory system, including polyps on the vocal cords, are indications for the use of the drug.

As mentioned above, berberis has a strong effect on the liver, therefore it is prescribed for hepatic colic and pain in the gallbladder area.

The drug copes with various diseases of the genitourinary system, including kidney stones. Prescribed for gout and skin ailments, including itching, rashes, eczema and hives.

Finally, berberis is an effective homeopathic remedy that helps with women's diseases. It is successfully used as a medicine for endometritis, neuralgia of the ovaries and vagina, and is prescribed for various types of pain in the female genital organs.

Who is berberis intended for?

A typical sign of Berberis people is that the symptoms they experience become more pronounced while moving, including when walking and while riding in public transport. Therefore, such patients prefer peace.

Berberis is a shrub 2-3 meters high. The tincture is prepared from fresh young roots. The pathogenesis is found in Yahr's New Manual of Homeopathic Medicine. Type Along with seizures and pains of berberis, the patient usually experiences a great loss of strength with a feeling of weakness in the back, a pale face with an earthy tint, sunken cheeks, sunken eyes surrounded by blue. It is interesting to note one objective symptom on the upper lip: “purple redness on the inner surface of the upper lip with red and bluish spots near the corners of the mouth.” Characteristic 1. Painful sensations of various kinds in the kidneys and lower back. A particularly characteristic symptom is the feeling of “bubbling”; burning and painful sensitivity in the same areas. 2. It seems to the patient that his head has increased in volume (Actea, bovista). 3. Lumbago, with pain extending to the legs and red sand in the urine. 4. Uncontrollable urge to urinate, with pain and burning; pain spreads to the back and lower limbs. Pains: stabbing, burning, tearing, but their main characteristic: wandering and radiating. Wandering: the patient feels them here and there, at a limited point, from which the pain sometimes spreads very far. These pains are usually aggravated by movement, walking, or sudden shaking, just like the pain of belladonna. Menstruation: scanty with stabbing, burning pain in the anus and vagina. Urine. The amount of urine varies: either copious with frequent urges, or insignificant with rare urges. It is as variable as the painful symptoms of this remedy: it can be red, bloody, “turbid with thick mucus and a brick-red sediment,” yellow with a transparent, gelatinous sediment. Resume You should think about Berberis for stones in the liver and kidneys and for characteristic pain: wandering and radiating. Anal fissures respond well to drug therapy. Bretonno cured them with ratania, although Trousseau and Pidoux considered “this remedy to be irrational.” Patients found it effective. For me personally, nitri acidum gave the best results, then sedum acre and peonia. I also have written down: aesculus, arsenicum, berberis, causticum, graphite, hydrastis, ignatia, lachesis, sepia, sulfur and thuja. Of the remedies not given in this book: Graziola. Tearing pain in the rectum. After stool, pressing pain in the abdomen when walking; improvement in sitting position. Paeonia. Lesions of the mucous membrane of the rectum and anus with a crack. A burning and tingling sensation for several hours after stool. Discharge of offensive and irritating fluid. Often, at the same time, hemorrhoids. Ratania. Violent constriction and burning, as if from fire, during and after stool for several hours. Pain in the anus, as if struck by a dagger. External hemorrhoids; sensation as if rectum were falling out. Frequent and ineffective urge to urinate; burning in the canal when urinating.

indications for use

Main indications The set of symptoms of Berberis corresponds to the phenomena of so-called “arthritis”, rheumatism and gout. RENAL COLIC with pain sometimes in the right, sometimes in the left side, but more often in the left. Left-sided renal colic is as typical for Berberis as right-sided colic with difficulty urinating for Lycopodium. Berberis is the best remedy for kidney stone disease with its painful attacks and hemorrhagic complications. HEPATIC COLIC, aggravated by movement and pressure, often concentrated in the left lobe of the liver or under the false ribs on the left, near the linea alba. LUMBAR PAIN OF GOUT. The patient has difficulty getting out of a chair or bed, he feels pain even when lying down; any fatigue, any movement aggravates the pain; the shock of a deep breath is enough to increase the pain. ECZEMA with burning itching, always worse by scratching and usually relieved by cold compresses: the rash is more pronounced on the back of the hands and in the anus. The cure begins from the center of the itchy erythema, while the pigmented ring remains for a long time. ANAL CRACKS, with severe burning: frequent, constant urge to stool. FISTULAS OF THE ANUS, especially of tuberculous origin, correspond to berberis. FLAT WARTS.

effect on the body

Physiological action In studies carried out in Germany by Dr. Hesse and collected by Jahr, there are often indications of the effects of berberis on the liver and kidneys, establishing its special use for hepatic and renal colic: shooting and pressing, sharp pain in the kidneys, spreading to the bladder, with pain in the spermatic cords and compression of the testicles. Peculiarities Worse: from movement, any sudden shock, when walking or riding in a carriage. Improvement - at rest. The predominant side is the left.

dosage

Berberis is used rather in tinctures or first dilutions.
