In the\nEastern States of America, old ladies have been using it in the form of\nhome-made tea for the treatment of the common cold.\n\nIt is very useful in the treatment of influenza, malaria and other fevers\nthat cause severe bone pains in the body .  It is one of the top most\ntreatments for Dengue fever , which results from the bite of a tiny\nmosquito found in dry, hilly areas.  It s peculiar characteristic is that\nthere is severe pain in the bones all over and in the back, which is\nunbearable.  Eupatorium does not offe r complete cure but relieves the\nsuffering to a great extent.  This feve r has to take its course of seven\ndays in any case.  Once the patient recovers from this, he develops\nantibodies and will never get Dengue fever again.\n\nThis medicine is considered to be one of the best against influenza\nand is also very useful in th e treatment of the common cold.\nEupatorium must be put to use when the common cold is associated\nwith severe body aches and headache.  It will protect the patient from\nfurther complications.  In Eupatorium, the bone pains are associated\nwith a feeling of chills .  This symptom is also found in malaria so\nEupatorium is also useful for the treatment of malaria.  The chill is felt\nmore from 6 o\u2019 clock to 9 o\u2019 clock in the morning.  The symptoms of\nEupatorium start with the sunrise while the symptoms of Natrum Mur\nusually get worse after 9 o\u2019 clock.\n\nIf malaria appears in the form of epid emic and Eupatorium is found\nbeneficial in some patients, then mo st other patients will benefit from\nEupatorium as well.  To begin with, there is intense thirst.  Even in the\nwinter, the patient wants to drink extremely cold water, which will\ncause a chill in the body, but the thirst will still not get quenched.  The\npatient keeps himself well covered.  When the chill comes to an end\nand his temperature has risen, he starts vomiting and sweats profusely.\nHowever, this sweating does not lower the temperature.  The vomited\nmaterial contains bile.  The severer the chill at the outset the more is\nthe feeling of heat after getting feve r.  If the temper ature is 103\u00baF, the\n\nEupatorium 324\npatient feels like it is 106\u00baF.  In ot her words, his feelings for both cold\nand heat are equally enhanced.  Once the fever is at its climax, the\npatient stops sweating.  He starts sweating when the fever goes down.\nThis sweating actually hastens the te mperature to decrease.  However\nthe patient develops a severe headache which is a little bizarre because\nin the case of malaria, when the fever goes down due to profuse\nsweating, his headache also gets better.  This peculiar observation, i.e.\nthe fever is coming down but the he adache is getting worse, is only\nfound in the nature of a patient of Eupatorium.\n\nPhysicians have been warned prev iously regarding the treatment of\nmalaria and it is repeated here once again.  In malaria, no medicine\nshould be given while the fever is coming on.  Unless the fever starts\nsubsiding, no medicine should be given.  The best time for the\ntreatment to be given is between two malarial attacks.  If during that\ntime, the properly indicated medici ne is administered, either the\npatient will not get a new attack of malaria or the next one would be\nvery mild.  It may so happen for two or three days; every subsequent\nbout of fever will be milder and milder, so much so that the patient\nwill be completely cured.\n\nEupatorium has also been successfully used in the treatment of\nrheumatism.  In the patient of Eupatorium, the joints swell and lumps\nappear over them.  There is pain al ong the course of the nerves.  The\ngouty pain is mostly on the big toe.  Rheumatism patients usually\nsuffer from headache.  They feel nauseated and become dizzy in the\nmorning, The dizziness is reduced in the evening.\n\nA patient of Eupatorium feels pain behind the eyeballs .  For the\ntreatment of pain in the eyes, Ge lsemium and Bryonia can be useful\nadjuncts.  When the patient develops  diarrhoea, the stools are copious\nand greenish in colour and thin like water.  There may be griping also.\nSometimes, the stools are scanty to start with and then become\nplentiful causing severe dehydration and weakness.  After that, the\npatient becomes constipated, which lasts many days.\n\nIn Eupatorium, the cough is very troublesome.  There is pain over the\nchest and the whole body sh ivers.  The patient is oversensitive to\ncold.  Eupatorium, being a treatmen t for the common cold, is also\neffective on the lungs.\n\nEupatorium 325\nThe patients of Eupatorium are depressed by nature.  The body tends\nto be swollen (oedematous).  If such oedema is noticed during the\ncourse of influenza or malaria, one should think of Eupatorium.\n\nThe ailments of Eupatorium recu r once again after 21 days.  The\npatient feels comfortable while kept  busy in talking.  Eupatorium has\nan effect on the mucous membrane s of the stomach, liver and the air\npassages.  Usually, it is useful in the treatment of ailments found in\nhumid regions, but can also be fo und beneficial in completely dry\nweather (such as Dengue fever).\n\nPotency: 30 to 200","modalities":"","symptoms_by_system":[],"schema_version":"1.0","api_provider":"Allahshafi"}
