Ambra Grisea is a useful homoeopathic remedy for thin, lean, short-
tempered, irritable and easily provoke d children as well as adults.
Over-sensitivity is its peculiar f eature.  Vertigo and loss of balance
can manifest in early age, which nor mally happen in old age.  So this
remedy can also be very useful in common old age ailments.

The Ambra Grisea patient is usually very sad, even if there is no
specific underlying cause. Ambra Grisea is the correct treatment of the
patients who remain sad, like to sit aloof in the dark, become
depressed over trivial matters, lose all zeal to live, show total
indifference to their surroundings a nd start showing physical signs of
ageing prematurely.  They feel dizzy.  The head and the stomach feel
weak.  The forehead feels heavy a nd the head hurts with variable
intensity.  There is drowsiness too.  The memory is weak.  The hairs
on the scalp fall easily.  When bleeding from the nose and gums
occurs, it is copious.  Gas accumulate s in the stomach.  Belching is
sour, but the feeling it produces in  the stomach is that of soothing,
rather than burning.

In Ambra Grisea, a lack of concentration  is natural.  The head feels
numb and this feeling spreads over the whole body.

Ambra Grisea ailments tend to remain  localized only on one side like
in Bryonia, Belladona and Spigelia.  They are present and remain
strictly either on right or left side.

Typically, the Ambra Grisea patient cannot tolerate music .  The
music intensifies the headaches, mental anguish as well as the
physical symptoms.  In other words, instead of comforting the person,
the music provokes mental and physical commotion.

In Ambra Grisea, symptoms of old age, such as numbness of the
hands and feet , palpitation and flabby mu scles creep in rapidly.
Ambra Grisea is very useful in minimizing the effects of sudden
shock.  I have often used Ambra Grisea on women who have been

deeply grieved  due to sudden emotional shock.  In transient
emotional shock, however, Ignatia is the best.
