## Keynote Indications
Helonias is a very important dr ug specifically li nked to women’s
diseases.  It has a str ong association with the cancer of the cervix of
the uterus .  Carbo Animalis can also be a useful medicine for the
treatment of this cancer if its symptoms related to other parts of the
body are also present.  However, He lonias has a direct association
with cancer of the uterus.  It de finitely produces some results.
Prompt treatment with Helonias on the appearance of the swelling and
redness of the cervix uteri will be ve ry effective.  If the patient is not
fully cured with Helonias, the tr eatment should be followed by Carbo
Animalis.  Hopefully, by the grace of God, with the combination of
these two drugs, the patient will be fully cured.

After a woman has miscarried, her uterus sags down .  She feels
pressure on the front as well as the back.  On walking, the discomfort
increases, and the uterus tilts from its place to the left or to the right.
In these conditions, Helonias makes the muscles strong and thus
would revert the uterus to its original position.

The symptom of deflection of the uterus from its normal position has
reminded me that it may be of use to correct the position of a foetus in
the uterus, which happens to be mal-positioned.  I hope it would be
beneficial.  In case the baby is upside down  (breech position),
Pulsatilla 30 or 200 is very effectiv e.  In poor countries, facilities for
immediate surgery are not availa ble, women with this kind of
pregnancy (foetal mal-position) suffer a lot, and some even die.  In
those areas, it becomes imperativ e for a homoeopath to remember
well the medicines that may be of use on such occasions, such as
Pulsatilla, Caulophylum and Helonias .  In addition, Gelsemium, Kali
Carb and Arnica are very useful at the time of childbirth.  They
prevent against the possible comp lications of delivery such as
puerperal fever.  If during or af ter delivery uterine infection has set
in causing high fever, then Sul phur and Pyrogenium 200 should be
given together three times a day till the fever subsides, and then once a
day for a few days.  This happens to be the best treatment in this kind
of situation.

Helonias is very effective against diabetes also.  In women who suffer
from diabetes along with the diseases  of the uterus, Helonias can be
effective against both.  The treatment should be continued for at least
one month.  If the diabetes seems to be coming under control Helonias
alone may be enough, otherwise some other remedies should be
looked for to treat the diabetes.

Another symptom of Helonias is that the periods are too frequent or
may cease for many months.  The patient gets fits of severe depression
and becomes very lazy.  Severe kind of leucorrhoea associated with
itchiness sets in.

Helonias is also linked to the kidneys.  They become congested with
blood.  There is a feeling of severe burning, which may also be felt
externally on both sides over the skin (kidney areas).  The patient can
clearly outline the course of the pain  with his finger.  Such patients
may also pass albumin in the urine.  If this happens during pregnancy,
then Helonias must be considered.

The Helonias patient feels better if her attention is kept diverted from
her illness.   Movement aggravates the symptoms.

Potency:  30 to 200.
