EUPATORIUM PURPUREUM


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


From the provings made by Dr. Dresser and his wife this remedy ought to be a good one for urinary diseases. and Dr. Hughes says : “The drug has become my favorite remedy for vesical irritability in women” I have not yet tried it in such cases; but I have done some good work with it in intermittents, when the chill BEGAN IN THE SMALL OF THE BACK and SPREAD FROM THERE UP and DOWNWARD, which is as near a keynote as any I know for its use. Like the EUP-P., there are bone pains present. A lady who lived near a marsh or swamp for seven years never had any appearance of malarial symptoms while living there, but after she came away they developed and were unyielding to the usual Quinine treatment. In fact, it utterly failed to do more than suppress for a short time when it would return and in an intensified form. On the above indications she was quickly and permanently cured by EUP-PUR., 200th.

CAPS., seems to resemble this remedy, both in the chills beginning in the back and the vesical irritation, but the CAPS., chill begins exactly between the shoulders, while EUP-P., begins in the dorsal or lumbar region.

CAPS., has a violent chill, with general coldness of the body. EUP-PUR., violent shaking with little coldness of the body. EUP- PUR., EUP-P., and CAPS., all have bone pains before the chill, but EUP-P., the strongest.
