Homeopathy Remedies for Paralysis


Anshutz gives a useful therapeutic differential diagnosis of the condition Paralysis, with the most useful homeopathic remedies. Therapeutic byways by E.P. Anshutz, published in 1900….


Manganum [Mang]

      It sometimes happens that a man feels his legs giving way unless he hastens his pace. Manganum 3x is the remedy. Verified. The drug has this symptom: Paraplegia- paralysis in the lower limbs. He staggers and inclines to run when he attempts to walk.

That, of course, is homoeopathic.

Sulphate of magnesia.-Dr. J.A.Ward claims that a hot, or warm, bath, in which a pound of Epsom salts has been dissolved, and the body rubbed dry afterwards, repeated several times, will cure paralysis-or has seemed to cure in some cases.

Gelsemium [Gels]

      For the paralysis of single members, or the paralysis following disease, probably Gelsemium 3 is the most useful remedy.
