HYDROCOTYLE

 

Hydrocotyle is very effective against leprosy and it can also cure several other skin diseases. Leprosy progresses very slowly. The disease does not spread immediately but it slowly flourishes in the blood. Only after long close contact, the disease can transfer from the patient to another person. On noticing early signs of leprosy of the skin, the patient should be immediately treated with Hydrocotyle.  Once the disease has well advanced and the affected areas have become riddled with deep sores and ulcers, it is too late for Hydrocotyle to work. I have used Hydrocotyle to treat many patients and by the grace of God, I have always found it very effective.  Sometimes, the disease was fully eradicated, while at other times, the disease was rendered very mild.

Lupus is another skin disease, which along with leprosy is thought to be incurable. Lupus appears in several different forms. In addition to the formation of blisters or sores and itching, in Lupus the skin starts to become tense and then shrinks. There is a lot of pain and anguish.  Hydrocotyle is very useful against this disease also. Hydrocotyle has been found to be effective against the common itch without formation of swellings on the skin or the appearance of pimples and wounds.  Similarly, another drug, Dolichos, is also very effective for the treatment of a dry, obstinate type of itch.  If the skin becomes thick and scaly like that of a fish, this is the symptom of Psoriasis. These symptoms should not be confused with leprosy. Instead the patient should be treated for Psoriasis. Psoriasis requires a lengthy, careful treatment with very deep acting medicines.

There is another skin disease similar to Lupus, in which fish-like scales start to appear, when the patient should be given Psorinum 1000 or Arsenic 1000. The basic difference between Psorinum and Arsenic is that in Psorinum, the discharges have a strong bad smell. If an offensive smell comes from the mouth, armpits and feet, without any obvious underlying disease, for this problem Rhus Glabra in potency 6X is very effective. I have also used it in homoeopathic potency 6 and found it quite useful. Hydrocotyle is very useful in Psoriasis also. If the Psoriasis is more prominent on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet, for that also, Hydrocotyle should be used. Even if the itching on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet is not due to Psoriasis, Hydrocotyle is still useful against this type of itch.

Another extremely dangerous disease is the cancer of the cervix of the uterus. The detailed account is given under Helonias and Carbo Animalis. According to cancer experts, there is no cure for this. The disease can recur even after the surgical removal of the uterus.  Hydrocotyle is extremely useful in alleviating the pain due to this cancer but it does not offer complete cure. However, if there is a formation of ulcers, redness or inflammation at the mouth of the uterus (cervix), one should not forget Hydrocotyle.
