It grows in the vall eys of the Himalayas and the lofty\ngrounds of Tibet.  For long, it has been  used as an int oxicating agent.\nThe users of Cannabis Indica live in th e world of their own, as if they\nare in the heavens.  Time virtually comes to a standstill for them and\nrecent events look ancient to them.  They feel as if they are in the state\nof eternity.  The symptoms of Ca nnabis Indica in homoeopathy are\ndescribed as the patient floating in the atmosphere.  The time does not\npass or move.  In a normal person, this state of inertia would make\nhim feel seriously oppressed.  The patient of Cannabis Indica does\nvery little but thinks he has wo rked for many hours.  His subjective\nfeelings and emotions are overwhelming.  He feels physically agitated\nall over, resulting in the shaking of  the hands and feet.  He feels\nextremely weak.  The brain does not get enough blood.  Instead, the\nface is flushed and the eyes staring.  This condition is known as\nCatalepsy.  Cannabis is very useful in the treatment of Catalepsy.\nThe symptoms of Cannabis very much resemble those of Opium,\nwhich is the best treatment for Catalepsy.  In Cannabis, the sensitivity\nof the skin decreases .  The patient is lured by his own fantasies and\nimagination.  On the contrary, in Hyoscyamus th e delusions are\nfrightful and the patient does not enjoy these scenes.\n\nCannabis addicts find thei r body divided into two pa rts.  One is their\npersonal self and the other is high up somewhere in the sky.  This is\nwhy Cannabis addicts are considered as well connected saints.\n\nA Cannabis patient laughs at serious  matters also.  He cannot control\nhis laughter or crying.  He may simp ly keep on laughing or crying.\nThis indicates that his sickness is well established.  The coexistence of\nlaughing and crying like the sun and the shade, associated with a state\nof euphoria instead of madness, is the symptom of Cannabis Indica.\nOnce the state of intoxication is ov er, the symptoms are different.\nDue to the intoxicating effect of Cannabis and damage to the brain,\nthe patient is very scared of death.\n\nA Cannabis patient has a constant fear of becoming insane.  He is\nafraid of the dark.  He keeps on making useless arguments.  His\nthinking is irrational.  Norma lly Cannabis addicts do not even\n\ncomplete their sentences.  Cannabis in homoeopathic form will be\nfound useful in treating those people who exhibit these symptoms, yet\nare short of being intoxicated.\n\nThe homoeopaths have done the pr oving and have come to the\nconclusion that the mind of a Cannabis patient is bombarded with\nthoughts, and owing to his inability  to express them, his speech is\nrather disjointed.  His thoughts ar e rather stirred-up.  His mind is\noccupied with multiple irrelevant thoughts.  He begins to talk normal\nand then suddenly becomes lost because of a new thought popping up.\nHe becomes excited and starts talking about a new idea.  He becomes\nlost in an imaginary world of his own.  He enjoys music.  Sometimes\nhe becomes overwhelmed with his emotion and excitement.  The\nCannabis patient experiences a throbbing kind of headache\nassociated with pounding of the heart .  There is heaviness at the\nnape of the neck and throbbing at the temples.\n\nIt is an established fact that the thoughts of one person may be\ntransferred to another person\u2019s mind (telepathy).  Some thoughts from\na remote mind may be detected th rough the so-called sixth sense.\nMany well known scientists also have testified that there is a deep\ndown capability of such detection in the human body.  If a person\nexhibits this kind of symptom due to any mental disorder, Cannabis\nshould be utilised.\n\nA Cannabis patient grinds his teeth during sleep .  He stammers\nwhile talking.  He is not hesitant to dr ink water but does not like to\nwash his hands, feet or take a shower  with water.  His stomach is full\nof gas which makes the belly tense.\n\nA Cannabis patient passes urine frequently.  In Opium, urination is\nless frequent and the other body secretions also reduce in quantity.  In\nCannabis, the ailments of the kidney are not unusual.  The patient\npasses urine frequently but has hesi tancy in the beginning and at the\nend of the act of urination.  Ther e is burning and mild scalding along\nthe urethra.  This also happens in Cannabis Sativa more than in\nCannabis Indica.  Thus, it is also used  in the treatment of Gonorrhoea.\nSome patients of Gonorrhoea may be cured with one dose of CM\nCannabis Sativa.  It brings the s uppressed Gonorrhoea to the surface\nand then cures it.  Merc Cor CM is also described to be useful in its\ntreatment.\n\nIn Cannabis Indica, there is suppression of menstruation  and\ntendency towards abortion .  The sexual urge is enhanced.  The\nsymptoms pertaining to the heart aggravate at night.  There is\nnightlong sensation of pressure on the chest and suffocation, relieved\nduring the day on walking around. With the onset of night, the\nsymptoms return.\n\nSome people develop humpback due to the weakness of the muscles\nof the back.  Cannabis Indica admi nistered at the beginning of the\nsymptoms will help prevent this deformity of the back.  Once the\ndisease is well advanced, there will be no useful effect of this remedy.\nCannabis Indica will be of use when the person feels pain in the legs\nand lower part of the body on walk ing.  The arms and hands feel\nshaky and then the lower body may al so be similarly affected.  The\nlegs feel rather numb and weak.  Another symptom of Cannabis Indica\nis that the person feels slee py yet cannot have good sleep.  In\nCannabis Indica, the skin  feels tense and drawn, as in Opium.  The\nsymptoms of Cannabis Indica aggr avate in the morning, and from\nlying on the right side and on smok ing tobacco.  Fresh air and rest\noffer relief.  The patient feels like going to sleep but cannot.\n\nPotency: usually 30 or very high","modalities":"","symptoms_by_system":[],"schema_version":"1.0","api_provider":"Allahshafi"}
