This remedy is useful against leprosy as soon as it is felt that the skin has become thick
and contracted. Thus, it is also useful against Lupus. In Hura, the skin becomes tense and drawn. Besides,
Hura and Hydrocotyle, Madura is also useful against diseases like leprosy and
Lupus. In Hura, the patient feels as if he has splinters under the fingers as a
result of the disease whereas actually, there is nothing under the fingers. In
it there is itching over the bony prominences.
The neck becomes stiff and the back aches. Although, homoeopaths use it
in potency 6, it is my experience that whatever is effective in potency 6 must
be more effective in potency 30 and 200, rather more so. It is possible that
the physician may have found it effective in potency 6 only, because there are
some diseases in which a particular potency is most ideal. Therefore, one
should try it and then note down what dose is most effective against a
particular disease. Camphor and Opium annul the effect of Hura.
