{"id":13645,"remedy_name":"Glonoine (HMT)","remedy_type":"Remedy","alternative_names":["Nitro Glycerine"],"miasm":"Syphilitic Miasm","temperament":"Neutral","aggravation_time":"Neutral\/Anytime","keynote_indications":"Glonoine is also one of those remedi es that, like Drosera, have been\nconsidered to be effective against only a few diseases although a great\ndeal of benefit can be gained from it.  Glonoine is trinit roglycerine.  It\ncontains hydrogen and oxygen elements  and is a powerful explosive\nand combustible material.   The fo rmula of this compound was first\ninvented by a scientist named Nob\u00ebl.  At that time, it was considered\nto be a very revolutionary invent ion.  Although later on plastic and\nnuclear bombs etc. were also inve nted, the use of nitroglycerine has\nnever been abandoned completely.  In  fact, it has been shifted more\ntowards everyday use.\n\nNitroglycerine is also used in medicine.  It is used either as such or in\nsome other form for the treatment of angina. Glonoine also affects the\nhuman temperament.  Sunlight makes one feel unwell.  Just as nitro-\nglycerine is sensitive to heat, sim ilarly, a patient cannot tolerate heat\nand the result is a splitting headache .  One feels as if he is being\nhammered all over the head, or as if the head is exploding. Glonoine is\na first class medicine for the prevention of heat stroke.  It can also be\nused for the treatment of high bl ood pressure, but only when other\nsigns of Glonoine are also present in the patient.  The homoeopathic\ndoctors often use Glonoine for the treatment of patients suffering from\nheat stroke and blood pressure.\n\nI have prepared a prescription for preventi on against heat strokes\ni.e. one dose of Glonoine, Natrum  Mur and Arsenic combined in\npotency 30, taken before leaving the house.  By the grace of God, this\nwill protect a person from headache the whole day.  However, once\nthe headache sets in, it is difficult to stop it.\n\nThe symptoms of Glonoine include a splitting headache, which starts\nas soon as the head is rested on a pillow.  There is a feeling of\nheaviness over the heart.  There is sudden rush of blood towards the\nhead or the heart, and the patient feels a kind of fluid passing through\nthe body.  The tendency of the rush of blood to the he ad originates\neither from the heart or the stomach.\n\nSome symptoms of Gelsemium are also found in Glonoine.  In\nGelsemium, before falling asleep, the patient feels faint signs of\ndiscomfort centred in the head while still, there is no headache per se.\nAfter sleep the pain becomes clearly  felt.  By morning, it turns into\nsevere pain.  Symptoms of Glonoine are similar to that of Gelsemium.\nThe difference is that in Gelsemium, the pain does not remain limited\nto the head only. Rather, it involves shoulder muscles and also reaches\nthe lower part of the back.  The pain is usually on the left side of the\nbody, whereas in Glonoine, the entire head is a ffected, but the pain\nremains limited to the head and the eyes only, it has no relation to the\nother nerves.\n\nIn Glonoine, palpitation is very conspicuous.  The whole body begins\nto throb.  From the tips of the finge rs down to the toes, one feels an\nuncomfortable pulsating.  The pa tient is overcome by generalised\nthrobbing of the body as soon as he retires to bed.  He simply cannot\nsleep.  A single dose of Glonoine ca n cure the ailment and the patient\ncan sleep comfortably again. Glonoine is a very fast-acting medicine.\nIn homoeopathy, the proving of Glonoine has been found to be a rapid\nprocess, therefore it shou ld not be repeated frequently. Glonoine used\nin low potency a few times every five to ten minutes, will provoke a\nsevere splitting type of headache,  along with all other symptoms of\nGlonoine manifesting themselves. It  does not need to be repeated\nmore often or over a longer period.  Proving with Glonoine is the best\nmethod for convincing the disbelievers of homoeopathy.\n\nAnother similarity between Glonoine  and Gelsemium is that in both,\nthe patient\u2019s hands and feet are very cold. However, in Gelsemium,\nthere is no perspiration whereas in Glonoine, despite the hands and\nfeet being cold, the patient perspires.\n\nThe tongue of a Glonoine patient is reddish in colour.  The mouth is\ndry, but one does not feel much thirst.  Despite having high fever, the\npatient still does not feel thirsty.  The symptoms become worse in hot\nweather, in the sunlight and by sitting near the fire.  The sensitivity to\nsunlight and heat is not limited to the head; the whole body is affected.\nThe patient suffers from palp itation, shortness of breath, nausea and\nvomiting.  Local pressure relieves the headache, while reading makes\nthe headache worse.  The eyesight is  affected in such a way that the\nwords appear small and the objects look only half-lit.\n\nIn Glonoine, the patient perceives flashes of light and the stars\nshining in front of the eyes .  On bending over, dark spots appear in\nfront of the eyes.  The eyes feel under pressure and hurt.  The eyes\nbecome congested with blood.  The eyes of a Glonoine patient are\nrather retracted and yellow in colour .  They are sensitive to light.\nTemporary blindness is also comm on.  A characteristic feature of\nGlonoine is that during fever, the face is pale rather than being red.\n\nGlonoine is very useful in the treatment of meningitis of children,\ncontracted in the summer.  The neck arches backwards (opisthotonus).\nThe face becomes extremely hot and glares.  The eyes become drawn\nupwards.  The head and the upper pa rt of the body are extremely hot\nwhile the lower part of the body be comes cold.  The patient sweats\nprofusely.  The overlying membranes of the brain become inflamed\n(meningitis). If the malarial parasites reach the backbone, this may\nalso cause inflammation of the linings of the brain. Glonoine would be\nideal to treat this condition if it happens to be in the summer time.\n\nVery often, one might experience a rush of blood towards the head\nwhile walking. The face becomes flushed.  There is a feeling of\nchoking of the throat as if the entire blood has pooled over the face\nand head.  The body becomes cold and sweaty due to extreme\nweakness.  The patient may become  unconscious.  This condition is\ncalled apoplexy in medical terminology.  This type of fits of\nunconsciousness can be due to clotting of blood in the brain, while in\nGlonoine patients, these symptoms result from a temporary spasm (of\nthe blood vessels going to the brain).  If such a patient is not treated in\ntime with Glonoine, the repeated fits of unconsciousness may result in\npermanent damage.\n\nA Glonoine patient often forgets the well-known routes and does not\nknow where he is and where he is going.  The streets appear strange to\nhim.  These kinds of symptoms are also seen in Lachesis.\n\nGlonoine is commonly used for lowering high blood pressure .\nOpium is also found to be useful in this respect. It is more effective\nthan Glonoine.  Dr. Kent is of the opinion that in the case of high\nblood pressure , one should prefer to use Opium over Glonoine\nbecause the effects of Glonoine are mostly temporary while those of\nOpium are long lasting.\n\nGlonoine is very useful in treatment of sudden stoppage of\nmenstruation due to exposure to cold, or  due to fear resulting in\nneurosis.  Cimicifuga and Bryonia ar e also useful in this condition.\nAethusa may also be of use once the symptoms of insanity become\nevident.  In general, Aethusa is ideal for the treatment of mental\nillnesses resulting from stomach disorder.  Similarly, Aethusa can be\nuseful to treat the mental condition develo ping due to the sudden\nstoppage of menses.  In a Glonoine patient, the throbbing of the ears\nreflects the palpitation of the heart.\n\nThe stomach and the intestines rumble .  It is only natural to\nexperience severe nausea and vomiting as a result of heat stroke .\nThere is a feeling of weakness in th e stomach.  The pulse is weak and\nslow.  When walking, the pulse become s rapid due to rapid heartbeat.\nThere is a feeling of warmth and burning all over the body.  The\npatient may suddenly faint and fall .  One feels c hoked and froth\ncomes out of the mouth.  This is only a temporary resemblance to an\nepileptic fit.\n\nItching is also associated with Glonoine.  There are severe cramps\nover the arms and the legs.  Pain in the fingers of the left hand is the\nsymptom of Glonoine.  The symptoms  are worse between six o\u2019 clock\nand noon.  During summer, the severity  of the headache varies with\nthe sun.  Even the slightest jerk would intensify the headache.\n\nAntidote: Aconite\nPotency:   30 to 200","modalities":"","symptoms_by_system":[],"schema_version":"1.0","api_provider":"Allahshafi"}
