COMMENTS - Naja, was introduced into homeopathy by Russell and Stokes, who made the first provings
along with some forty other provers including Gillow, Pope and Drysdale.
Provi ngs were made with low
potencies.
Majumdar had no success with Naja, until he obtained fresh venom from snake charmers and made potencies.
Previously the Naja, used by Indian homeopaths had been re -imported into India from England in the form of
potencies.
Deane, in his experience in the plague epidemic of 1899 -1900, found Naja, prepared from the fresh venom
more efficacious than Lach.
Naja, has an affinity for the medulla oblongata and cerebellum.

According to Hering, nervous phenomena predominate in Naja, over other serpent poisons.
It acts primarily
upon the nervous system, especially on respiratory nerves, pneumogastric and glossopharyngeal.
Majumdar related the case of a young woman suffering from a heart affection who had oppression of the chest
amounting almost to suffocation, feeble, irregular, almost imperceptible pulse, anemic appearance, inability to
speak.
One dose of Naja, was given, followed four hours later by a second.
These sufficed for the cure.
The next day,
when the doctor called, his patient addressed him in a loud voice, “Doctor, you gave me a poison last night.”
When asked to explain, she said that after the first dose she “felt awful heat in her system.”
Majumdar saved a number of apparently hopeless cases of cholera with Naja, in the collapse stage with lack
of pulse and difficulty of breathing.
In a case cured by Russell there was dragging and anxiety in the précordia occurring in great grief.
