CARBO VEGETABILIS


Keynote symptoms of homeopathy medicine Carbo Vegetabilis, described by A. L. Monroe in his book, Method of Memorizing the Materia Medica, published in 1882….


(VEGETABLE CHARCOAL )

Chronic affections where weakness is great,

After Acute ones debilitate;

Remember in Ague inveterate made

By lengthened possession or Allopath’s aid.

Old Peoples diseases, cold breath and cold feet,

Venous stases; Secretions with smell of bad meat,

Excretions themselves have cadaverous odor;

Gastric troubles; with belching both rancid and sour;

Even food that is proper occasions distress,

Though taken with caution in quantities less.

Asks to be fanned his Lungs craving air;

But Bowels and Stomach have “enough and to spare”

In Diarrhea stools like carrion smell;

Lymphatics that burn and oftentimes swell.

In Ulcers where sanious Pus meets the sight,

Symptoms from four until six reach their height.
