The symptoms of a Carboneum Sulph patient aggravate on taking a bath that
is due to the element of Sulphur in it in which there is a dislike for taking a
bath. It should however be remembered, that a patient of pure Sulphur is simply
scared of bathing, but his symptoms are not aggravated on taking a bath, while
the symptoms of a Carboneum Sulph patient actually aggravate on taking a bath. Some Homoeopathic physicians have opined
that Carboneum Sulph is the best treatment for a severe type of Lupus of the face, it can,
in fact, cure the condition. I am of the opinion that it should be further tested.
I have myself done a lot of study on this matter, but have not found any
specific correlation of Carboneum Sulph to Lupus to distinguish this from other
remedies.
Carboneum Sulph has been found to prevent the spread of cancer also. Carbon and
Sulphur together have a profound effect on the human body. The remedy, which
could cure a serious illness like Lupus, must obviously be strong and
profoundly effective. Every kind of cancer needs to be treated by one
particular medicine. However, some
medicines are such that they can stop the spread of all cancers for a year or
two. In that period, an appropriate remedy may be found. Carboneum Sulph,
Arsenic Iodide and Graphite are the three top remedies of this nature. For cancer of the skin,
Pyrogenium and Psorinum are also useful. Their patients have an individual and specific
constitution of their own. When the know-how about a patient is limited, the
treatment should be started with Arsenic Iodide, which is also very useful in
the treatment of cancer of
intestines. Carboneum Sulph
is also related to joint
pains, especially when they are chronic in nature. Carboneum Sulph
will gradually offer cure. In Carboneum Sulph, there are cramps in the arms and the legs,
along with repeated episodes of long-lasting, undulating pain. The arms and hands become numb and
the nerves become inflamed. The
elements of Carbon and Sulphur in the Carboneum Sulph have completely opposite
symptoms. Sulphur is hot, while carbon is of a cold nature. In Carbon, the
patient feels cold and is cold, though internally he may have a burning
sensation in some places. In Sulphur there is a feeling of constant heat, which
becomes part of one’s life. The hands,
feet and scalp burn, as in Pulsatilla. However, in Pulsatilla, there is no
thirst while a patient of Sulphur feels very thirsty. A patient of Carboneum Sulph cannot tolerate cold. He
falls ill as soon as his feet become cold. The feet of a Carboneum Sulph type
of patient must always be kept warm.
Some of the symptoms of Carboneum Sulph resemble those of
Arnica. In Arnica, the patient feels badly beaten all over,
irrespective of being physically injured or not. The Carboneum Sulph pain is also
of similar nature. Carboneum Sulph is very important in the
treatment of psychological
symptoms. Such a patient is aggressive, intolerant, has intense anger, is unable to distinguish between right and
wrong, and has a tendency towards committing suicide. The scalp is dry, with dandruff and the hair tends to fall. Carboneum Sulph is also very useful in the treatment of diseases of the eyelids, especially when the patient
is of the appropriate constitution In Carboneum Sulph, the headache is mostly on the left
side, but may also be on the right. Commonly, it is only one-sided. Weak
eyesight and inability to distinguish between colours is also a symptom of Carboneum Sulph. In a patient of Carboneum Sulph,
the discharge
from the ears is foul smelling and mixed with blood. The hearing decreases,
along with ringing in the ears (tinnitus).
Due to the involvement
of ears, the person feels dizzy. The tongue becomes insensitive. Along with itching, small ulcers form
which then spread. Pimples appear on the face. A special feature of Carboneum Sulph
is the insensitivity of the lining of the skin and the inner linings (mucus
membranes). The skin also becomes insensitive. The numbness of the inside of
the mouth and especially of the tongue is very pronounced. The nerve fibres
under the skin and the mucus membranes become afflicted, causing insensitivity
of the surfaces. The teeth become very
sensitive to cold once their nerve endings become exposed. On exposure to cold air, the symptoms pertaining to the
teeth and the face become aggravated, and there is increased sensitivity, not only at the nerve
endings of the teeth, but on the entire face. The generalised, firm enlargement of the glands also
is found in Carboneum Sulph. Carboneum Sulph is useful in the treatment of many sexual weaknesses of men as
well as women. The ovaries shrink in size, which in fact is a precursor of
cancer. In this condition, Carboneum Sulph should better be instituted in
relatively high potency like 200.
Carboneum Sulph will cure the stiffness of the toes and the ankles if
the patient is of Carboneum Sulph constitution.
