🧠General & Mental Health
▲GENERAL
The Ipecac is prepared from the dried-up roots of the Ipecac plant.
In
allopathy, it is used to induce vomiting, while in homoeopathy, Ipecac
is used to control nausea and vomiting .
Its patient has a persistent
feeling of nausea even after vomiting.
Ipecac is a very important anti-malarial treatment .
Malaria is
strongly connected with nausea and also attacks the stomach.
From
this point of view, Ipecac is naturall y related to malaria.
A distinctive
feature of Ipecac is that the patient f eels severe cold in his back with
constant waves of cold up and down.
The pain also undulates
similarly in the back.
A child st ruck with malaria obviously cannot
explain the symptoms himself.
Ho wever, the symptoms of feeling
severe cold, shivering and chattering of the teeth will indicate the need
for Ipecac.
If such a child presen ts other symptoms of Ipecac also,
then there should be no delay in treating him with Ipecac.
A severe
stabbing pain is felt over the stomach, moving from left to right.
The
patient feels as if the stomach has been cut with a knife.
The patient
becomes riveted in one position.
Ho wever, the pain disappears after a
short while.
Pains that are not of a permanent nature, which come on
fast like a spell of lightning and then leave the patient weak and
exhausted, typify Ipecac.
In every ailm ent of Ipecac, nausea is a must.
Even coughing provokes nausea.
Ipecac ailments become worse in hot
and humid climate.
Ipecac is the best treatment for bleeding .
The bleeding is of a
sudden and forceful nature.
In Ipecac, bleeding is always associated
with a feeling of nausea.
The patient does not feel thirsty at all.
Like
the patient of Arsenic, the Ipecac patient may feel very weak and
restless, but other symptoms of course are different.
Every ailment
comes on in the form of an attack, whether in the form of weakness or
feeling cold.
Similarly, there can be an episode of bleeding which will
end after some time.
These attack s are usually not that long.
The
Ipecac ailments do not stay perm anently.
However, there is a
possibility of rapid progress of th e disease.
Whenever an ailment
starts, it progresses rapidly and then goes away equally fast.
In Ipecac, convulsions occur.
Like Cicuta and Dioscorea, the body
tends to bend backwards due to severe muscular contractions
(opisthotonus).
Ipecac is one of the best treatments for stomach
disorders, such as distension of the abdomen and dysenteryIntestinal infection with severe bloody diarrheaInfection of the intestines resulting in severe diarrhea with the presence of blood and mucus in the feces.
associated with severe cramps and frequent motions.
In the dysentery
of children , the stools contain greenish mucus.
Stools may also be
mixed with blood and there is a definite tendency of nausea and
vomiting.
There is a kind of pinc hing sensation around the navel.
The entire body becomes stiff.
Ipecac is useful in the treatment of all
these symptoms.
Ipecac is also closely related to asthmaChronic respiratory disease causing difficulty breathingA condition characterized by spasms in the bronchi of the lungs, causing difficulty in breathing, typically from an allergic reaction or hypersensitivity..
Its patient has a full face,
glowing with good circulation, while in Antimonium Tart, the asthma
patient is very weak and has near-death appearance.
This difference is
only arbitrary and manifests in later stages.
Instead of waiting for this
clear distinctive appearance, one should be able to distinguish between
the two at the outset of the disease.
In Ipecac, the illness is sudden,
progresses rapidly, and the face becomes flushed.
But in Antimonium
Tart, on exposure to cold the child becomes weak slowly and steadily,
and once the disease has well esta blished the symptoms become
extremely aggravated, more than in Ipecac.
Moreover, the defensive
body response does not develop.
In Ipecac, the enti re body of the
patient reacts to the illness, but in Antimonium Tart, even if the chest
is full of phlegm and there is diffi culty in breathing, the patient does
not have the desire to expel the phlegm.
The result is that the patient
becomes overwhelmed by the severity of the disease.
If initially, the
diagnosis for Antimonium Tart has been made the treatment should be
started without any delay.
Once the symptoms aggravate, the
condition becomes dangerous.
One di stinctive point between the two
is that if there is nausea but no vomiting, then it is probably due to
Ipecac.
However, if there is a te ndency to vomit with or without
nausea, it is a symptom of Antimoni um Tart, except in the case where
the chest becomes full of secretions, which the patient cannot expel
due to marked weakness.
Ipecac is also useful in the treatment of uterine conditions .
Ipecac
is very effective to treat the excessive red menstrual bleeding
associated with nausea .
It is also useful in the vomiting of
pregnancy.
If the placen ta happens to be partially retained in the
uterus after the childbi rth and if the patient has other symptoms of
Ipecac, then it will help in the expulsion of the placenta.
If the patient
develops Puerperal Fever after childbirth, then Sulphur and
Pyrogenium should be considered.
The nasal catarrhInflammation of mucous membranes with dischargeExcessive buildup of mucus in the nose or throat, associated with inflammation of the mucous membrane. of Ipecac gets rooted in the nose.
The nose
becomes stuffy at night and the pa tient sneezes a lot.
The nasal
discharge drips into the throat and the chest, causing pain and
tightness of the chest.
Asthma develops.
The cold starting at the
nose and then affecting the throat and the chest, leading to asthma, can
be cured with Ipecac.
The standard formularies are mostly meant for
those who do not understand much homoeopathy.
At the same time, it
is difficult to think of a unique pr escription keeping in view the
detailed symptoms of the patient.
After the attack of asthma is over,
the illness should be studied, keepin g in mind the constitution of the
patient.
An asthmatic should be very careful about his diet.
He
should make every effort to avoid contracting nasal cold or sore
throat.
When the kidneys become infected , the patient feels severe chills.
So in the beginning of the disease, the patient should be well covered
and given hot fluids to sip.
Many a time, th e symptoms of kidney
infections and the onset of mala ria resemble each other therefore
undue haste should be avoided.
In itially, symptomatic treatment
should be given and once the symptoms have been clearly defined,
then the proper treatment should be started.
Ipecac is also useful in the treatment of whooping cough in view of
the associated symptom of spasmodic constriction of the air
passages.
If during a convulsion, the entire body becomes stiff, the
face becomes flushed and there is na usea, then Ipecac will prove to be
extraordinarily beneficial.
One may think of Belladonna in this
condition, though Ipecac should first be tried.
Ipecac is also related to tetanusBacterial disease causing lockjaw and muscle spasmsA bacterial disease marked by rigidity and spasms of the voluntary muscles, especially of the jaw..
