## Keynote Indications
Malandrinum is prepared from the material obtained from the lesions
of horses suffering from the disease called Horse Grease.  An
experienced veterinary  surgeon found that in areas where horses
suffered from this disease, the co ws and other cattle contracted a
condition like smallpox by sitting on the grass.  It is an established
fact that in homoeopathy, Malandrinum has been used very effectively
in curing smallpox.  It is also famous for its prevention.  It has also
been found very useful to annul the ill effects of the smallpox
vaccination.  A group of doctors experimented on four children.  They
gave Malandrinum to three of them  but not to the fourth one.  All
were then vaccinated against smallpox.  The child who was not given
Malandrinum exhibited the most severe reaction to the vaccine while
the other three did not.  Another doc tor vaccinated one child but did
not vaccinate another.  To the latt er, he simply gave Malandrinum.
The vaccinated child contracted smallpox while the non-vaccinated
child did not. Once during an epid emic of smallpox, another doctor
continued treating the patients a nd himself using only Malandrinum
30 in repeated doses.  He and ot hers who had taken Malandrinum
remained safe from contracting smallpox.

With the use of Malandrinum, even after having been afflicted with
smallpox, the patient makes rapid recovery without any serious
damage.  Doctor Burnett is of the opinion that Malandrinum is a
profoundly active and effective homoe opathic remedy, and as such it
should not be repeated unnecessarily.  It may be repeated but only
during an acute illness.  As a preventive measure it should only be
repeated after a long interval.

Malandrinum is also useful in the treatment of eczema developing
after a smallpox vaccination.  Ho wever Thuja is known to be much
better regarding the control of ba d side effects of the smallpox
vaccination.

Malandrinum has an effect on the bones also.  If the bones become
deformed and bent, causing knock-knees (genu valgum), then
Malandrinum will be helpful in co rrecting the deformities.  No doubt,
Calcarea Carb is the most usef ul for strengtheni ng the weakened
bones.  Malandrinum also works well, though.

Malandrinum is also useful in the treatment of skin conditions
including different forms of eczema, blisters and pustule formation.
Its blisters/pustules appear gradually in the form of crops, one after the
other, over a long time.  Malandri num is also found useful in the
treatment of similar diseases of cat tle.  One doctor successfully cured
a dog riddled with pustules on his neck with Malandrinum.

Malandrinum is also useful in the treatment of joint pains
associated with inflammation of their inner linings (synovitis).
Usually, it is more effective on the lower half of the body such as the
legs, from the knees down to the ankles.  Malandrinum is also of use
in treating backache due to muscle  injury.  Malandrinum is also
reported to be useful in the treatment of uterine conditions  causing
deep itch, inflammation and discharge of greenish leucorrhoea.

Like Kreosotum, it may also be useful in the treatment of bleeding
gums that begin to bleed on trivial pressure.

Children who forget everything whatever they have learnt
previously, benefit significantly with Malandrinum in low potency,
used two to three times a week for a few months.

Potency: 30 and higher.
