BROMINE


Therapeutic symptoms of homeopathic remedy Bromine, described by E.B. Nash in his book, Leaders in Homeopathic Therapeutics, published in 1898….


An element proven and arranged by Hering and an important remedy in laryngeal affections. Also in scrofulous and tubercular affections of the glands. It is well known to act best on persons with LIGHT BLUE EYES, fLAXEN HAIR, lIGHT EYE-BROWS, fAIR, dELICATE SKINS, rED CHEEKED SCROFULOUS GIRLS. It will be remembered how almost exactly opposite, so far as temperament is concerned, is IOD., which is also one of our chief anti-scrofulous remedies. In glandular affections, three remedies that are not as often thought of as they perhaps should be, are CARB-AN.,CON., and BROM., in all three the glands are STONY HARD WITH A CANCEROUS TENDENCY. In BROM., the pains are not characteristic, but with CON., and CARB-AN., they are lancinating, cutting or burning, more like cancer pains. In diphtheria, where it has done some wonderful work, the membrane first forms in the bronchi, trachea or larynx, running upward, just the opposite of LYC., which often forms first in the nose and runs downward.

In membranous croup, there is great rattling of mucus like HEPAR, but no expectoration. There seems to be great danger of suffocation from accumulation of mucus in larynx (in bronchi, ANT-T.,)

Sensation of cobweb in face (BAR-C., gRAPH., and BOR.,)

Fan-like motion of alae nasi (ANT-T., lYC.,)

Hypertrophy of heart from gymnastics (CAUST.,)

Membranous dysmenorrhoea (LAC CAN.,).
