Rheumatism

Actæa spicata: acts on the smaller joints of the hands and feet, especially the wrist joint,
while in Actæa racemosa the bellies of the muscles are affected.

Arnica: Rheumatism resulting from exposure to dampness, cold and excessive muscular
strain combined; the parts are sore and bruised; gout, with extreme soreness.

Belladona: Cutting, tearing, lightning-like pains in the joints, pain streaks from the joint
in various directions.
Rheumatic stiffness of the neck from getting hair cut or getting head wet.

Bryonia: The general character of the pain here produced is a stitching, tearing, worse by
motion, better by rest. Mucous membranes are all dry. Its acts prominently on synovial
and muscular tissue, producing arthritic and rheumatic inflammations and swellings. It
especially affects the right side Articular rheumatism with swollen joints, which are very
sensitive to the touch ; the slightest motion is intolerable ; the joints are hot and shining,
the skin looks as if stretched over them ; external heat greatly relieves(Opp. Apis) ; it has
but little tendency to shift about.
Changeableness and tendency to shift about from joint to joint, their aggravation from
warmth and their relief from cold.
Useful in neuralgias also, which tend to shift about. (Bryonia, Colchicum, Kali
sulphuricum and Sulphur.) Shifting rheumatism (Pulsatilla, Colchicum, Caulophyllum

Pulsatilla acts prominently on synovial membranes, producing arthritic and rheumatic

conditions. Blue, distended veins, with soreness and stinging pains. Hamamelis is the
better remedy for the soreness.

Rhus Tox: Acts on the fibrous tissues, ligaments and tendons of muscles. The great
keynote for Rhus in rheumatism is the relief from motion and the aggravation in damp
weather ; patients cannot bear cold air ; the pain and stiffness is worse on commencing to
move, but continued motion relieves ; warmth also ameliorates. Wrenching, sprains or
over-exertion of the same. In Causticum the restlessness occurs only at night, whereas
Rhus is restless all the time. Arnica acts more on the muscular tissue than on the
ligaments ; there is great soreness of the muscles. Rhododendron is worse from changes
of weather, especially cold ; aggravation from rest, but the keynote is aggravation before
a storm.

Sanguinaria: Sharp, stitching pains, with soreness and stiffness of the muscles.

hence it is a remedy in low states of vitality and serious diseases.

Kalmia and Rhus Tox: numbness and tingling of the left arm in heart disease

Kali bichromicum, Kali Iodatum, and Phytolacca in sciatica.

Kali Iodatum. Darting pains in left side relieved by motion.

Nux Vomica: backache of the lumbar region ; worse at night when lying in bed, cannot
turn over without sitting up, lumbago.

Physostigma: Spinal irritation, tetanus and trismus or lockjaw, but its use in diseases of
the eye such as spasm of the ciliary muscle, myopia, etc., is most important. Post-

Ranunculus Bulb: Dropsy from kidney affections, hemiplegia from apoplexy, and in
epidemic cerebro-spinal meningitis.

Rhus Tox: Pain in back on attempting to rise; rheumatic pains in the back and stiff neck

excitement present, and a pungent heat of the skin.

Eupatorium perfoliatum: Intermittent fever. The chill commences about 7 or 9 in the
