HURA BRAZILIENSIS

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.
