Revillout compares the general action of Ambra with that of Kali bromatum. The effect appears quicker after Ambra, but that of Kali bromatum continues longer. Ambra, therefore, is preferable for the removal of severe reflex actions, infantile spasms, puerperal eclampsia. Ambra quiets beautifully the nervous restlessness of pregnancy and thus prevents convulsions; it also retards uterine contractions.
Revillout recommends Ambra in pregnancy: 1. To prevent eclampsia.
2. To diminish too severe labor-pains.
3. In too early labor or threatening abortion.
But Ambra given too frequently and in too large a dose may also produce uterine atony. Ambra given in large doses may generally remove convulsions, from whatever cause, and by diminishing nervousness acts favorably on nervous persons, infants and young girls.
Here, then, is another case of involuntary Homoeopathy. Ambra produces in the healthy burning in the sexual parts, with discharge of a few drops of blood; menses set in a few days too soon; it produces discharge of blood at other times than the catamenia, also fluor albus, and also perhaps ovaritis. It also produces twitchings in muscular parts, spasm, restlessness, infirmity, anxiety, oppression, nervous weakness with irritability and impatience, twitching and jerkings in the extremities, with coldness of the body and great debility, a state so often found in females and excitable, weakly children, combined with sleeplessness; many dreams, frightened awaking, restless sleep at night, general restlessness, irritability, anxiety, and despair.
