Anthracinum is prepared from the putrefied matter taken
from the
spleen of sick sheep. It is a first-rate treatment for
ulcers and bleeding.
Most homoeopaths use it sparingly but I have found it to be
very useful in my
practice. Abscesses developing in inflamed glands
are hard and
bundled together. They exhibit an ugly, bluish
discolouration
and are painful, but do not progress to softening and
pus formation.
For such boils, Anthracinum is a sure-shot
homoeopathic
remedy, resulting in cure within a month or two.Chronic wounds and ulcers of the internal organs,
which exude blood
and have a tendency to turn into
cancer, can possibly be treated with
Anthracinum. Anthracinum is also very
useful in the treatment of
deep wounds, which rip the skin apart
and bleed. In view of this
symptom, I am of the opinion that
Anthracinum would also be
beneficial in
Ulcerative Colitis (in
which, the lining of the large gut
disintegrates, ulcerates and bleeds).
In the allopathic system of
treatment, there is no definite cure
for this disease. The medicines
used only temporarily control the
disease, and have side effects. Only
the surgical removal of the diseased
part of the colon offers cure.
When
a disease has been merely suppressed by inappropriate
medication, this may
lead to Ulcerative Colitis. I have found
Anthracinum to be
very useful in such medically induced colitis.
Anthracinum not only has the capability of curing
chronic sores and
abscesses, but also prevents their
recurrence. Anthracinum can be
useful in combating the persistent,
dark bleeding from any part of the
body.
