Conium in malignant tumour


In Homoeopathy, there is one drug named CONIUM which is effective in cases of malignant cancer. It is useful when there is a gangrene, concealed cancer of bone, cancerous swelling and induration of glands, cancer of lips, spreading cancerous ulcer on the face, cancerous ulcer after contusion.

I treated one case of brain tumour of 45 year old lady, where the patient had a very bad pulsating headache, with intolerable pain and it was not relieved by any pain killer drug. After understanding her case, I gave her Conium 30 frequently during pain and she felt much better. The medicine was able to control growth of tumor and meanwhile she was surgically treated and then survived.

Homoeopathy in PYORRHOEA- a dental disease


Pyorrhoea is a inflammation of the gums and alveolus. It may spread to surrounding parts of gums. There is a swelling and pain in gums. The breath may be ofensive and pus may generate.

X-ray examination will reveal the destruction of the periodontal membrane and the alveolus.

In Homoeopathy, there are many drugs to treat this condition. Few are described here:

1. Aurum met: This medicine stops tissue destruction and found useful in caries and necrosis of the nasal palatine and mastoid bones.

2. Carbo veg: It is given for painful and sensitive gums when there is dificulty in chewing.

3. Causticum: When there is facial paralysis, painful and loose teeth, and burning pain in lower molar extending to nose and eyes.

4. Merc. vivus: This medicine is helpful when there is metallic taste , lot of salivation, spongy gums, tender teeth, alveolar abscess, and fetid odor from mouth.

There are also other Homoeopathic drugs which are very useful in this condition:

Nitric acid, Silicea, Staphysagria, etc.
