{"id":13555,"remedy_name":"Agnus Castus (HMT)","remedy_type":"Remedy","alternative_names":["The Chaste Tree"],"miasm":"Psoric Miasm","temperament":"Neutral","aggravation_time":"Neutral\/Anytime","keynote_indications":"Agnus Castus is mostly related to diseases of women.  After\nchildbirth, the muscles become weak, stretched and flabby .  They\ndo not revert to their original tone and physical status.  (This is just\nlike a stretched out piece of rubber which loses its elasticity.)  The\nuterus feels like it is  sagging downwards.  Menses are scanty.\nInfertility and hatred towards conjugal relationship  develops.\nLeucorrhoeal discharge is yellow.  The woman feels uneasy, sad and\ndepressed.  She is usually sad and sallow.  She may develop hysteria.\nThe uterus remains inflamed.  The nose bleeds.  Agnus Castus is a\ntreatment of choice in this symptom complex.\n\nThe Agnus Castus patient thinks of committing suicide and is\nindifferent to the world around her.  She prepares herself for\nimpending death.  In Arum Mur, the tendency to commit suicide and\ndepression are prominent features which become part of the patient\u2019s\ntemperament.  But in Agnus Castus , such tendency is transient and\nshort-lived.\n\nThe patient has a weak memory, she is absent-minded and neurotic,\nshe lacks courage and lacks determination.  She feels pain on the\ntemporal areas and forehead, aggravated by movement.\n\nThe patient is hypersensitive to light (as in many other remedies) and\ndevelops headache due to light-hypers ensitivity.  In case the headache\nis already present, it becomes unbearab le in light, so much so that the\neyes cannot be opened. Graphites is good in isolated light-sensitivity\nwithout the symptoms of Agnus Castus.\nThe bony bridge of the nose is painful  but feels better with pressure.\nThe patient can be unusually  sensitive to certain kinds of fragrance.\nThe cheeks itch and tingle, this is specific in Agnus Castus.\n\nThere is wind in the tummy .  The stomach rumbles.  The intestines\nseem to be falling downwards, and the patient holds on to the\ndrooping belly.\n\nAgnus Castus is useful in certain male sexual disorders , such as\nsexual weakness and impotence, secondary to the pubertal\nmisconduct.  It also relieves nervous disorders (like Kali Phos).\n\nAdjuvants: Caladium, Selenium\nAntidotes: Camphor, Nux Vomica\nPotency: 30 to CM","modalities":"","symptoms_by_system":[],"schema_version":"1.0","api_provider":"Allahshafi"}
