Meningitis Ring

 Meningitis Ring

It was perhaps 15th July, 2010 when a little baby of about 7 years old was admitted by her mother (a senior nurse by profession) in one of the best hospitals of Islamabad for the treatment of high fever, violent convulsions, severe headache and vomiting. The treatment was started with high doses of intravenous antibiotic injections and tranquilizers. But, unfortunately the condition of the patient was becoming from bad to worse. In order to establish the nature of disease, various laboratory tests were carried out and ultimately the findings declared that the patient had an attack of Meningitis. The medicines were changed accordingly and a new series of medicines were unsealed for the poor baby. What these medicines played havoc with the fragile physique of the innocent baby is simply inexpressible. The elder brother of the sister nurse being a good friend of mine contacted me and asked to talk to his sister for providing homeopathic help. I phoned the nurse and collected the details of symptoms. To start with the homeopathic treatment a single dose of Phosphorus-30 + Ipecac-30+ Arsenicum-200 was given for instant relief of nausea and vomiting. This was followed by a combination of Belladona-30+ Gelsemium-30 + Baptisia-30 for fever, convulsions and headache. The combination acted wonderfully and the baby was completely restored to health within 24 hours. I asked the sister nurse as to whether she informed the allopath doctors about this magic. She hesitantly said ‘No’. The doctors were celebrating their success but in fact allopathy was secretly trounced by homeopathy.

Labour Period and Homeopathy

Labour Period and Homeopathy

Following eight medicines are very effective as per symptoms during labour

1. ACONITE

Aconite is a remedy for shock and fear. In labour it will help if the labour is going too fast and pains are strong and frightening. Often the person who needs this remedy will have a fear that they might die. This might be completely out of proportion to the severity of the situation, i.e. there may be no real risk but the person has this feeling nonetheless.

2. ARNICA

Arnica is the most important remedy for bruising and trauma. During labour can help speed dilation of the cervix and can help prevent both haemorrhage and postpartum infection.

It can be helpful if the woman feels tired especially if there are no other indications for remedies such as Kali Phos or Gelsemium (compare further below).

Please note it can also be given to the baby in case of a traumatic birth or forceps delivery.

3. CAULOPHYLLUM

This remedy may be used if labour is delayed, i.e. if the cervix remains rigid and contractions are not coordinated, changing location and going into the bladder and groins. It can strengthen contractions when they are weak, of short duration or slow down to a stop.

Woman may feel trembly, chilly and weak and may also have pains in fingers and toes appear concurrently.

If this remedy seems indicated but has no effect consider Gelsemium below.

Do not use this remedy in pregnancy except under expert advice.

4. CHAMOMILLA

This remedy can be useful when the pain is centered in the lower back. Particularly with the baby in posterior position.

The woman will feel incredibly irritable with the pain. The pain will seem almost too much to endure. She may react by pushing people away, may not want to be touched or looked at and may react with anger if she has to be examined internally.
This remedy will not be useful unless there is extreme irritability.

5. KALI CARBONICUM

Low back pain. Relieved by pressure/rubbing (compare Chamomilla for posterior presentation).

Chilly and aggravated by draughts.

Aggravation during the night, especially 2-4am.

Woman may be nagging and complaining.

6. KALI PHOSPHORICUM

Exhaustion with no other indications or if Arnica is not helping.

May feel unable to cope and sensitive to noise.

It can be alternated with Arnica when labour slows down and the woman herself or uterine muscles may be tired.

7. GELSEMIUM

This remedy will be helpful if there is a failure to dilate with tiredness and weakness (compare to Kali Phos, Arnica and Caulophyllum).

The weakness often presents with very heavy eyelids and a dazed expression.

Woman may feel trembly especially from fright or anticipation.

It is a remedy for anticipatory anxiety. If entering the hospital and all the subsequent procedures causes the woman to feel very anxious and this seems to be impacting the labour i.e. decreasing or even halting previously strong contractions then Gelsemium by addressing the anxiety may help get things underway again.

8. PULSATILLA

The woman will feel very weepy and tearful and desperate for the company of her partner or other loved ones if she requires Pulsatilla. She will feel better with fresh air.

If the contractions are weak and the cervix is not dilating as it should Pulsatilla can be considered but only if a similar emotional state is presenting.
