Aloe homeopathy. Homeopathic monopreparations

I cannot boast that my houseplants grow very well, but the aloe has grown extraordinary. A real tree, although it grew in a pot on a glassed-in veranda. It grew upward and outward, became multi-barreled, shaggy, for which it received the nickname of grandfather. Its dimensions clearly threatened to exceed the spatial capabilities of our apartment. Once a guest came to us, and I shared with her our concerns about the "grandfather." She looked appraisingly at the aloe, and then at me and said: "Well, if you don't mind, then I'll take it from you and ... eat it." "Grandfather" was cut off. It turned out that our guest had been using the agave for many years almost as a panacea - a remedy for all diseases. She grinded its leaves in a meat grinder, added a little sugar to soften the bitterness and alcohol to prevent fermentation, after which the drug was ready for use. When signs of a cold, general malaise or discomfort from the gastrointestinal tract appeared, she took the drug a teaspoon several times a day with a consistent, according to her, positive result.

In homeopathy, aloe is also listed among medicinal substances. A homeopathic medicine is made from sabur, condensed juice of several types of aloe, most often aloe sokotrina - Aloe succotrìna, which is why the drug is called aloe sokotrine. The name is associated with the island of Socotra, according to legend, conquered by Alexander the Great precisely because of the production of sabur that existed there, which was used as an external remedy for burns, cracks that do not heal for a long time, and wounds. During World War II, aloe juice was also used to treat long-term healing wounds. It is known that sabur was part of the "elixir of youth". Judging by my guest, at her old age, preserving vivid youth, successfully treated with aloe for all diseases, then you begin to reconsider your attitude to the healing capabilities of this plant.

As a novice homeopath, I knew how to prescribe aloe for certain forms of colitis, and such a widespread use of it by my friend seemed strange to me. In several cases, which are very unpleasant for patients (their intestinal damage was accompanied by uncertainty in the muscle that blocks the anus), the results were excellent.

The incident with the "grandfather" piqued my interest in the plant. I thoroughly studied the subject and learned a lot of interesting and instructive things. Now, having thirty years of experience in healing, you value such small "stories" more and more. After all, not only the study of pharmacology or special homeopathic pharmacodynamics, but also any information that emotionally touches the doctor, sharpens observation, and therefore leads to more successful treatment.

Aloe belongs to the lily family. The most familiar species to us is aloe tree-like, growing in our home conditions and cultivated in the Caucasus, Crimea and Central Asia, a relatively small and extremely rarely flowering plant. Hence the name "agave" (blooms once every hundred years). The number one hundred is very “round”, therefore it is attractive and impressive. In fact, aloe blooms once every 5 to 6 years. In the greenhouse of the New York Botanical Gardens, I happened to see several flowering plants at once. The single flower resembles a tiny pastel-colored tiger lily in shape. In their homeland, in southern and tropical Africa, on the Arabian Peninsula and the islands of Madagascar and Socotra, some species of aloe reach a height of 18 m and look like real trees. But among them there are perennial grasses, and shrub forms, and even vines. They are all succulent plants that tolerate drought well. They are often used as landscape, decorating alleys in parks of resort towns.

The peoples of the Middle East had a custom to hang aloe over the entrance to the house - magical properties were attributed to it. In Egypt, this custom is still alive today. And there is a lot of magic in the plant. Aloe leaves and juice contain enzymes, vitamins, phytoncides, organic acids, glycosides, resinous substances. They are widely used in medical practice for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory organs, skin, mucous membranes. When keeping aloe leaves in unfavorable conditions (cold, dark) in them. special substances are formed - biostimulants, which are able to enhance metabolic processes in tissues, increase the body's resistance to infections, and help the fastest elimination of inflammatory processes. This feature of the plant was discovered and introduced into medical practice by Academician V.P. Filatov.

From a homeopathic point of view, the plant was investigated by the American homeopathic physician K. Hering. On one of the features of the action of aloe, the therapeutic principle of homeopathy is well demonstrated - the principle of similarity. A large dose of aloe has a pronounced laxative effect. In homeopathic doses, the effect is diametrically opposite, reinforcing. The homeopathic preparation of aloe is used for disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, diseases of the liver, kidneys, bladder, in gynecological practice, for certain types of headache. Use in small doses makes the homeopathic preparation free from harmful side effects, and therefore, contraindications to use disappear.

Aloe is not poisonous, but its excessive use can promote blood flow to the organs of the abdominal cavity, small pelvis, and in some situations this may be contraindicated. This should be remembered during treatment, monitoring the reaction of the body (which, however, is necessary even in cases where food plants are used - such as parsley, onion, garlic, radish, pepper and many others).

In the essays on phytotherapy by I. Kovaleva, it is recommended to grind aloe with your hands in order to avoid its contact with metal, after cutting off the thorns, and pouring the resulting juice with twice as much hot honey. For lung diseases, a mixture of aloe juice with fats, honey and cocoa is often recommended. I am not impressed by any kind of mixture: with such treatment, the main "character" remains unclear. And yet I have no reason to doubt their effectiveness.

In Ukraine, aloe is called a thorny flower. They perceive it as a house plant, not thinking about its overseas origin. Does not bloom - so in fact an agave! A rare window in the houses of small towns and villages does without its matte green spread-out twigs, which are plucked off in case of need for the benefit of people.

Aloe socotrina(Aloe sokotrina) - aloe,

agave - belongs to the lily family.

Application in medicine

There is evidence that sabur was used by the Egyptians five thousand years ago to embalm the dead. Sabur has been known in medicine for more than two thousand years. In the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, sabur was considered the most valuable remedy for a variety of diseases. It was part of the "elixir of life extension", was used for hemorrhoids, with delayed regulation, as a means of diverting blood, with hot flushes to the head, to the lungs, was a part of eye ointments and lotions. Its main use was as a laxative (Hager). Currently, Sabur continues to be used as a laxative in combination with rhubarb preparations. It is given in tincture, in powder of 0.05-0.5 g or in pills of 0.015-0.1 g per dose (M.D. Mashkovsky).

Application in homeopathy

Aloe socotrina was introduced into homeopathic practice by Goering in 1833. From tests it was found that the stagnation that Aloe produces in the portal system and in the small pelvis affects the whole body and even the psyche, causing a feeling of heaviness and fullness not only in the abdominal cavity, but and in the head. Such circulatory disorders are characteristic of people who are overnourished, lead a sedentary lifestyle and abuse alcohol. In its effect on stagnation in the portal system, Aloe is close to Sulfur. Common to these remedies are symptoms such as a feeling of heat in the legs at night, sudden morning diarrhea, severe irritability. Aloe's hallmark is weakness of the rectal sphincter. Stools, even hard ones, can be passed out involuntarily. In children, sphincter weakness is manifested by rectal prolapse.

Sabur is from the lily family. Tinctures and rubbing are prepared from the juice flowing from the leaves. Its rich pathogenesis is found in the American Review of Homeopathic, volumes IV-VI, translated by Goering. Aloe is a remedy for hemorrhoid sufferers, fat and full-blooded people with oxaluria (although their urine gives a feling reaction, they should not be mixed with diabetics). This is a remedy for mature and old age, as well as for women with diseases in the genital area, and the latter do not affect their nervous system. These remarks are confirmed when we see that the authors of the allopaths (who give aloe in large doses) are afraid of intensifying its effect on living and irritable subjects and prescribe it only for sluggish and low-energy lymphatics. Our authors have always taught the same. Deterioration. - After eating and drinking; early in the morning; in hot weather. Improvement. - In cold weather. Characteristic 1. Abdominal congestion with a feeling of fullness and pressure on the bottom or a feeling of heaviness in the anus and bladder. 2. Relaxation of the sphincter of the anus: the patient tries to refrain from urinating and releasing gas for fear of simultaneous involuntary bowel movements, which sometimes happens to him (Oleander). 3. Even large and dense fecal masses are allocated, as it were, imperceptibly for the patient. 4. Almost constant coldness of the extremities (mainly feet). 5. The nose reddens quite strongly, without reddening of other parts of the face; sensitive to touch. Pain. Pelvic congestion is manifested mainly by pain and stabbing in the sacrum and coccyx. In the limbs there is a feeling of numbness, creeping creeps, fatigue, weakness, stitching pains, as from a dislocation, or strong tension. Stool: diarrhea. it usually appears in the first half of the day, from 2 am to 10 am, often makes the patient jump out of bed. The stool is yellow, pasty, caked and watery, pain in the lower abdomen and around the navel in front of the stool; these pains continue during bowel movements. The stool is often mucus like jelly, bloody, or clear. Sometimes this mucus is secreted in large quantities and flows out of the anus unnoticed by the patient. A symptom very characteristic of aloe diarrhea is a strong rumbling in the stomach just before stool. But the most characteristic of aloe stool: an irresistible urge to stool immediately after eating or drinking; weakness of the sphincter, which makes it impossible to retain stool. Constipation is sometimes noted in pathogenesis, but for the most part it is only a secondary phenomenon or reaction. In these cases, weakness of the sphincter is also observed - hard feces can be released involuntarily, completely unnoticed by the patient. Menses. Trousseau noted pain and a feeling of heaviness in the uterus and groin, increased leucorrhoea, uterine colic, more severe during menstruation, increased menstrual bleeding. These symptoms are completely consistent with the numerous indications of our pathogenesis, and we can only add that aloe makes menstruation more frequent. Summary Destroying congestion in the portal system and hemorrhoidal veins, aloe is a remedy for aksaluriks suffering from hemorrhoids. Relaxation of the anal sphincter is a classic indication. Subject is apprehensive about urinating or gas, for fear of excreting feces as well. Rectal prolapse in children.

indications for use

Main indications Diarrhea with the above features: uncontrollable urge, relaxation of the sphincter of the anus. DYSENTERY. Aloe is indicated here for severe tenesmus and fainting after every stool. HEMORRHOUS, with prolapsing painful bumps, causing burning and tenesmus. Trousseau, who stated the healing effect of aloe in hemorrhoids, writes, however: “one or two grams of aloe is enough to quickly cause mild irritation of the rectum, which strongly resembles hemorrhoidal stasis; in some cases, you can even get quite heavy bleeding from the hemorrhoidal vessels ”. Rectal prolapse in children. HEADACHE. Pain, mainly in the supraorbital region; oppressive, deep, worse from heat and better from cold. Two symptoms help in choosing in these cases: irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, expressed by painful and frequent stools, and coldness of the lower extremities, as a result of a rush of blood to the brain centers. SHOT (Lumbago, which is so often observed in hemorrhoid sufferers. SKIN IRRITANCY with itching in old people with a bilious temperament. Claude, Bericke, Hughes and most authors advise the use of rather low dilutions, ranging from 1 to 6.

effect on the body

Physiological action Aloe, no matter how it is introduced into the body, always acts as a laxative; acts slowly and, at moderate doses, the stool appears as a cloudy liquid. Aloe causes congestion to the rectum and abdominal organs, especially to the pelvic organs and, in particular, to the genitourinary organs. The result of this may be a feeling of heaviness in the kidneys and in the anus and hemorrhoids may form in subjects predisposed to this; frequent urge to urinate, sometimes bleeding from the bladder, increased menstrual bleeding, and even miscarriage. It enhances sex drive. This, in short, according to the allopaths, is the action of aloe. But repeated trials of homeopaths in healthy people, in different doses, have revealed many more properties, thanks to which aloe is a valuable tool in our therapy.

ALOE (Aloe), agave - perennial herbaceous plants of the family. lily. From the leaves of A. succotrina, A. vera, A. plicatilis, A. perryi, the medicinal substance Sabur is obtained, which is used as a laxative.

Biostimulation according to the method of V.P. Filatov is carried out as follows: freshly cut aloe leaves are washed with water and kept in the dark at 6-8 degrees for 12-15 days. The emulsion is a homogeneous thick mass of white or creamy color with a characteristic odor. Turns yellow in the light. Store in orange glass jars, protected from light at a temperature not exceeding 5-10 degrees. Aloe juice emulsion has also been found to be effective against dermatitis, eczema and neurodermatitis.
