 From Boericke's materia medica:

(Medicago Sativa. California Clover or Lucerne) From its action on the sympathetic, Alfalfa favorably influences nutrition, evidenced in "toning up" the appetite and digestion resulting in greatly improved mental and physical vigor, with gain in weight. Disorders characterized by malnutrition are mainly within its therapeutic range, for example, neurasthenia, splanchnic blues, nervousness, insomnia, nervous indigestion, etc. Acts as a fat producer, corrects tissue waste. Deficient lactation. Increases quality and quantity of milk in nursing mothers. Its pronounced urinary action suggests it clinically in diabetes insipidus and phosphaturia; and it is claimed to allay vesical irritability of prostatic hypertrophy. The rheumatic diathesis seems especially amenable to its action.

Agaricus Muscarius - Boiron

CA$8.29

 From Boericke's materia medica:

AMANITA (Toad Stool-Bug Agaric) This fungus contains several toxic compounds, the best known of which is MUSCARIN. The symptoms of poisoning do not develop at once, usuallly twelve to fourteen hours elapse before the Initial attack. There is no antidote, treatment, entirely symptomatic (Schneider). Agaricus acts as an intoxicant to the brain, producing more vertigo and delirium than alcohol, followed by profound sopor with lowered reflexes. Jerking, twitching, trembling, and itching are strong indications. Incipient phthisis; is related to the tubercular diathesis, anaemia, CHOREA, twitching ceases during sleep. Various forms of neuralgia and spasmodic affections, and neurotic skin troubles are pictured in the symptomatology of this remedy. It corresponds to various forms of cerebral excitement rather than congestion. Thus, in delirium of fevers, alcoholism, etc. General paralysis. SENSATION AS IF PIERCED BY NEEDLES OF ICE. Sensitive to pressure and cold air. VIOLENT BEARING-DOWN PAINS. Symptoms appear diagonally as RIGHT ARM AND LEFT LEG. Pains are accompanied by sensation of cold, numbness and tingling.

Mind
Sings, talks, but does not answer. LOQUACITY. Aversion to work. Indifference. FEARLESSNESS. DELIRIUM characterized by singing, shouting, and muttering; rhymes and prophesies.

MORE DECIDED INTOXICATION-great mental excitement and incoherent talking, immoderate gaity alternates with melancholy. Perception of relative size of objects is lost, takes long steps and jumps over small objects as if they were trunks of trees-a small hole appears as a frightful chasm, a spoonful of water an immense lake. Physical strength is increased, can lift heavy loads. With it much twitching. 3. THIRD STAGE produces a condition of furious or raging delirium, screaming, raving, wants to injure himself, etc. 4. FOURTH STAGE-mental depression, languor, indifference, confusion, disinclination to work, etc. We do not get the active cerebral congestion of Belladonna, but a general nervous excitement such as is found in delirium tremens, delirium of fevers, etc.

Adrenalinum - Boiron

Adrenalinum - Boiron

CA$8.29

 From Boericke's materia medica:

(An Internal Secretion of Suprarenal Glands) Adrenalin or Epinephrin, the active principle of the medulla of the suprarenal gland, (cortical secretion not as yet isolated), is employed as a chemical messenger in the regulation of the activities of the body; in fact, its presence is essential to the activity of the sympathetic nerve. Adrenalin action on any part is the same as STIMULATION OF THE SYMPATHETIC NERVE ENDINGS thereto. Local application (1: 1,000 solution) to mucous membranes promptly induces transient ischaemia, seen in a BLANCHING, persisting several hours from conjunctival instillation. Its action is very prompt, efficient, EVANESCENT, owing to rapid oxidation and therefore practically harmless, UNLESS too frequently repeated, when atheroma and heart lesions-myocardial-in animals have been reported. Arteries, heart, supra-renal bodies and vaso-motor system are prominently affected. The main action of Adrenalin is stimulation of the SYMPATHETIC ENDINGS, notably the splanchnic area, causing CONSTRICTION OF THE PERIPHERAL ARTERIOLES, with resulting RISE IN BLOOD PRESSURE. This is especially observed in stomach, intestines; less in uterus, skin; nil in brain and lungs. Furthermore, is noticed, SLOWING OF PULSE, (medullary vagus stimulation), and STRENGTHENING OF HEART BEAT (increased myocardial contractility), resembling Digitalis; increased glandular activity, glycosuria; depression of respiratory center; contraction of muscular tissue of eye, uterus, vagina; relaxation of muscular tissue of stomach, intestines, bladder.

Uses
Its chief therapeutic use depends on its VASO-CONSTRICTION action; therefore a most powerful and prompt ASTRINGENT and HAEMOSTATIC; and invaluable in CHECKING capillary haemorrhages from all parts, where LOCAL or direct application is feasible: nose, ear, mouth, throat, larynx, stomach, rectum, uterus, bladder. Hemorrhagic condition not-due to defective coagulation of the blood. Complete BLOODLESSNESS, ischaemia, may be induced with impunity. Locally, solutions (1 :10,000-1 :1,000) sprayed or applied on cotton have been very efficient in bloodless operations about the eye, nose, throat, and larynx. Congestions of the ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses, also hay fever, have been markedly alleviated by warm spray of Adrenalin chloride, 1 : 5,000. Here compare, Hepar lx, which will start up secretions and so facilitate drainage. Werlhoff's disease, hypodermically, 1 :1,000. Externally, it has been used in neuritis, neuralgia, reflex pains, gout, rheumatism, as an ointment, 1-2 m. of (1 :1,000) solution, along the nerve trunk at point of skin nearest its origin which could be reached (H.G. Carlton). Therapeutically, Adrenalin has been suggested in acute congestion of lungs, ASTHMA, Grave's and Addison's diseases, arteriosclerosis, chronic aortitis, angina pectoris, haemophilia, chlorosis, hay fever, serum rashes, acute urticaria, etc. Dr. P. Jousset reports success in treating, homeopathically, cases of angina and of aortitis, sub-acute and chronic, when Adrenalin has been prescribed PER OS and in infinitesimal dose. The symptom guiding to this is, SENSATION OF THORACIC CONSTRICTION WITH ANGUISH. This, with vertigo, nausea and vomiting have been produced by the drug. ABDOMINAL PAIN. SHOCK or heart failure during anesthesia, as it causes very prompt rise of blood pressure by its action on nerve endings in the vessel wall.
