▲GENERAL
The vegetable carbon i.e coal pr epared from wood, is called Carbo
Veg.
Dr.
Hahnemann experimented with this on himself and noticed
its long-lasting effects and therefore used it in the treatment of deep,
chronic illnesses.
In allopathy, Ca rbo Veg tablets are used to combat
gas in the abdomen.
To some extent , they absorb some gas, but have
no effect on the acid production by the stomach.
In homoeopathy too,
Carbo Veg is used for excessive gas in the stomach .
In addition, it
controls production of gas by suppressing the causative mechanism.
Carbo Veg is one of the most potent life-saving treatments.
When a
serious sickness advances and brings the patient on the verge of death,
Carbo Veg plays a very important role in reviving the dying patient.
It
is extremely difficult to encompass the basic mechanism of its
extraordinary functions, but it has been repeatedly found to be very
effective in bringing a dying person b ack from the verge of death.
It
restores the body temperature.
In view of this, I thought that Carbo
Veg would certainly raise a lowered blood pressure.
On use, I found
that it definitely elevates the blood pressure .
I also noted that it
does not elevate the blood pressure blindly.
There is certainly no
danger that Carbo Veg would unnecessarily raise the blood pressure to
an abnormal level, it simply normalizes the blood pressure after it has
seriously dropped.
Normally, th e blood pressure drops profoundly
when the patient is at the point of death.
A single dose of Carbo Veg
starts warming up the body.
Once I happened to see a patient who had
suffered a very severe heart attack.
He was virtually dead when I saw
him.
His forehead was covered with profuse cold sweat and the
breathing was hardly noticeable.
I dropped two or three drops of
Carbo Veg into his mouth.
Within a very short time, he started
breathing normally.
The cold sweats disappeared from the forehead,
and his body started to warm up gr adually.
I then gave him the
specific remedies to strengthen his heart which, with the help of Carbo
Veg, became very effective.
I have used Carbo Veg in many other
patients and have always found it very effective.
It should be in the
first-aid kit for saving lives.
Carbo Veg is also deeply related to asthmaChronic respiratory disease causing difficulty breathingA condition characterized by spasms in the bronchi of the lungs, causing difficulty in breathing, typically from an allergic reaction or hypersensitivity., especially when the
patient’s temperature has dropped, there is profuse cold sweating and
the patient is so weak that he can not expel the secretions from his
chest.
This kind of patient may be of two types: one exhibiting the
symptoms of Ammonium Tart whose initial symptoms have been of
Ipecac.
The symptoms of Antimonium Crude are the worst type of
symptoms of Ipecac.
The stomach becomes inflammed, resulting in
the tongue being covered with a dirty white coating.
When the
condition of this patient further aggr avates, and he is unable to expel
the sputum from his chest due to severe weakness, Antimonium Tart
may well stabilise the condition of the patient and bring him back
from this dangerous situation.
However, Antimonium Tart is not
curative for asthma.
Carbo Veg resembles Antimonium Tart.
Once I
saw a patient who was seriously sick with asthma.
When I gave him
Carbo Veg and his body gained strength.
He coughed out the
expectoration and his sturtrous breathing became normal.
When given
the appropriate asthma treatment, he recovered completely.
It proves
once again that Carbo Veg is a vi tal homoeopathic remedy when the
patient is in moribund state.
Typi cally, the asthmatic patient sweats
profusely, is cold and has air hunger.
For this purpose, fanning on the
face helps.
On the contrary, the Arsenic patient does not sweat, and
his chest does not rattle with accumulated secretions.
Carbo Veg is very useful in treating the failing heart muscle.
It is the
best tonic for the muscles.
When the pressure of gas from the
stomach is directed upwards, Carbo Veg is very beneficial.
The
accumulation of gas in the stomach is mentioned in reference to many
homoeopathic medicines.
This alon e will not help to arrive at the
correct diagnosis.
One has to try di fferent medicines.
There is no
equal to the long, vigilant experien ce of the treating physician.
With
repeated use, the remedies start manifesting their symptoms which
may not have been detected with formal provingTesting a remedy on healthy volunteersThe systematic method of administering a substance to healthy subjects to observe and record the symptoms it produces..
Gas in the stomach
is also mentioned in relation to Ar senic Iodide.
In fact, it is the
treatment for the peptic ulcerOpen painful sore on skin or mucous membraneAn open sore on an external or internal surface of the body, caused by a break in the skin or mucous membrane. of the stomach and its deleterious
effects.
In Carbo Veg, the gas is in the upper part of the abdomen and
smells foul.
The stools in Carbo Veg diarrhoea also smell foul and the
patient feels extremely weak.
As such, its symptoms resemble those
of Baptisia however, works more profoundly in such a
condition as well as for the treatm ent of foul-smelling diarrhoeal
stools of typhoid.
Carbo Veg is of no use in typhoid diarrhoea.
The symptoms of Carbo Veg also include numbness of hands and
feet.
Legs feel numb too , especially the calf muscles.
In medical
terminology, the calf muscles are called the second heart, because they
pump back the venous blood towards the heart.
One may feel light-
headed on sudden standing up, showing that the calves have not
pumped the blood back up sufficiently.
Carbo Veg is very useful to
treat this condition, because it not on ly elevates the blood pressure but
also invigorates the calf muscles.
This is how it helps to revive a
dying patient.
Another important characteristic of Carbo Veg is that it prepares the
body to properly react to Kali Carb.
Many of the symptoms of Kali
Carb resemble those of Carbo Veg, but Carbo Veg is a relatively mild
remedy while Kali Carb produces a strong body reaction.
Most Kali
Carb diseases are chronic in nature.
The direct initial use of Kali Carb
may produce a serious reaction.
Th erefore, Carbo Veg should be
given first before administering Kali Carb, especially for the treatment
of joint pains in hands, feet and wrists.
When I first started homoeopathy, I used Carbo Veg.
My experience
showed that Carbo Veg itself has some beneficial effects on the pains
and aches, especially backache and muscular pains .
However, if
blood pressure is high and the face is flushed with blood, Belladonna
and Aconite are more effective th an Carbo Veg.
In addition to
Aconite and Belladonna, Carbo Veg a nd Kali Carb may also be used
after Rhus Tox.
After these, Calc area Carb would further prolong the
effect of Aconite, Belladonna and R hus Tox.
All these homoeopathic
remedies contain the element of Carbon, which is deeply related to the
muscles.
In a Carbo Veg patient, the acidity in the stomach is not due to excess
of hydrochloric acid but rather due to the lack of it.
When the normal
acidity of the stomach ( hydrochloric acid) is not sufficient, food starts
decaying and produces foul acidic substances, resulting in severe
compromise of the process of digestion.
In simple terms, it may be
said that the stomach has two ends that are capable of remaining open
or closed.
The upper end of the stomach is the cardic end, and the
lower end is known as the pyloric end.
The foul acidic matter puts
both ends into a state of contraction and the blocked-up food
containing foul acidic contents prod uces gas, distending the stomach.
Under pressure, the upper end ma y open letting the foul-smelling
gases, as well as the acidic contents of the stomach, regurgitate.
This
produces burning and foul eructati on or belching.
The pyloric end
opens only under very high pressure.
Normally, digestion of the food
in the stomach takes about three hours.
After this, the stomach
contents are let to pass into the intestines and the foul gas also enters
the gut.
These foul contents work as a good medium for the growth of
germs and worms which cause further putrefaction.
Carbo Veg is
used in controlling this vicious symptom complex and after use for
some period, it normalises the digestive system.
When given in appropriate potencie s, Carbo Veg as well as Carbo
Animalis, helps to kill germs and worms in the intestines.
However,
some kinds of bacteria and worms settle permanently inside the
stomach and intestines and are difficult to completely eradicate.
In my experience, the most effective medicines to kill worms in the
intestines are Santoninum, Cina and Te ucrium.
I have also used
Sabadilla for the same purpose, ev en though most of homoeopathic
books only describe Sabadilla in reference to sneezing and irritation of
the nose due to allergies.
I believe that the allergy of the nose and
itching can be secondary to the pres ence of worms in the intestines.
The irritation they produce inside the stomach and the intestines also
gets referred to the nose and the face .
In Boericke, Sabadilla has been
mentioned for the treatment of worms, although Boericke does not
specifically describe its use for worms under Sabadilla.
Carbo
Animalis is probably the most effective remedy for hookworm
infestation of the abdomen.
Besi des these, there are many more
homoeopathic remedies for the tr eatment of worms.
A detailed
repertory should be consulted as needed.
In Carbo Veg, there is a tendency towards hoarseness of the throat in
the evening.
Hands and feet become numb .
There is physical as
well as mental lethargy.
In f act, the entire life process becomes
sluggish.
There is a feeling of bur ning inside, while the patient feels
cold outwardly.
The patient takes no interest in any kind of news, be
it of sorrow, happiness or something st artling, as if he does not care.
It seems as if he is not tuned to think any more.
In Carbo Veg, the headache is usually towards the back of the head.
It starts with the onset of cold and then makes the entire head throb as
if being hammered.
Its patient gets
frightened at night and thinks of demons and the devil.
The ears
discharge foul smelling material indicating the presence of deep
infection and fever.
In Carbo Veg, the chronic cold can afflict any
part of the body making the patient permanently sick.
If the chronic
cold of a Carbo Veg patient is suppr essed by some other treatment, it
may result in serious consequences later.
Hence, the chronic cold
should better be treated with Carbo Veg.
Carbo Veg will also clear the picture of suppressed diseases.
Carbo
Veg will best treat sores in the mouth and white blotches,
inflammation of the gums and loosening of the teeth, if its other
symptoms are also present.
It is also very useful for the treatment of ulcers in the stomach, which
result in foul smelling diarrhoea and swelling of the liver.
The limbs
become flabby and the legs and feet gradually start withering away.
The feet may suffer in many different ways.
Carbo Veg is also useful
in the treatment of varicose veins.
Carbo Veg is also very useful in th e treatment of the early stages of
whooping cough and rattling chest .
The cough of a Carbo Veg
patient resembles that of Laches is Asthma comes on suddenly at
night.
Carbo Veg should be the treatment of choice for a prolapsed uterus
associated with foul smelling, darkish vaginal discharge.
Carbo Veg is
also very useful in the treatment of lactating mothers when the milk is
not enough; they are very weak and suffer from remittent fever.
Carbo
Veg patients usually see fire, stealing and accidents in their dreams.
