HOMŒOPATHIC MATERIA MEDICA
by William BOERICKE, M.D.
Presented by Médi-T
PYROGENIUM
Artificial Sepsin
This remedy was introduced by English Homeopathists, prepared from
decomposed lean beef allowed to stand in the sun for two weeks and
then potentized. The provings and most of the clinical experience have
been obtained from this preparation. But, subsequently, Dr. Swan
potentized some septic pus, which preparation has also been proved and
clinically applied. There does not seem to be any marked difference in
their effects.
Pyrogen is the great remedy for septic states, with intense
restlessness. "In septic fevers, especially puerperal, Pyrogen has
demonstrated its great value as a homeopathic dynamic antiseptic.
" (H. C. Allen). Hectic, typhoid, typhus, ptomaine poisoning,
diphtheria, dissecting wounds, sewer-gas poisoning, chronic malaria,
after-effects of miscarriage, all these conditions at times may
present symptoms calling for this unique medicine. All discharges are
horribly offensive-menstrual, lochial, diarrhœa, vomit, sweat, breath,
etc. Great pain and violent burning in abscesses. Chronic complaints
that date back to septic conditions. Threatening heart failure in
zymotic and septic fevers. Influenza, typhoid symptoms.
Mind.--Full of anxiety and insane notions. Loquacious. Thinks he is
very wealthy. Restless. Feels if crowded with arms and legs. Cannot
tell whether dreaming while awake or asleep.
Head.--Painless throbbing. Fan-like motion of alæ nasi (Lyc; Phos).
Bursting headache with restlessness.
Mouth.--Tongue red and dry, clean, cracked, smooth, as though
varnished. Throat dry, articulation difficult. Nausea and vomiting.
Taste terribly fetid. Breath horrible.
Stomach.--Coffee-grounds vomiting. Vomits water, when it becomes warm
in stomach.
Abdomen.--Intolerable tenesmus o both bladder and rectum. Bloated,
sore, cutting pain.
Stool.--Diarrhœa; horribly offensive, brown-black, painless,
involuntary. Constipation, with complete inertia (Opium); obstinate
from impaction. Stools large, black, carrion-like, or small black
balls.
Heart.--Tired feeling about heart. Palpitation. Sensation as if heart
were too full. Always can hear her heart beat. Pulse abnormally rapid,
out of proportion to the temperature pain in region of left nipple.
Conscious of heart.
Female.--Puerperal peritonitis, with extreme fetor. Septicæmia
following abortion. Menses horribly offensive. Uterine hæmorrhages.
Fever at each menstrual period, consequent upon latent pelvic
inflammation. Septic puerperal infection. Pelvic calculitis.
Inflammatory exudate. Post-operative cases, with overwhelming sepsis.
Fever.--Coldness and chilliness. Septic fevers. Latent pyogenic
condition. Chill begins in back. Temperature rises rapidly. Great heat
with profuse hot sweat, but sweating does not cause a fall in
temperature.
Extremities.--Throbbing in vessels of neck. Numbness of hands, arms,
feet. Aching in all limbs and bones. Bed feels too hard (Arn). Great
debility in the morning. Soreness; better by motion (Rhus). Rapid
decubitus of septic origin.
Skin.--Small cut or injury becomes much swollen and inflamed-
discolored. Dry.
Sleep.--Seems to be in semi-sleep. Dreams all night.
Modalities.--Relief from motion.
Relationship.--Compare: Streptoccin (anti-febrile action; septic
symptoms in infectious diseases). Rapid in its action, especially in
its effect on temperature; Staphyloccin in diseases where the
staphylococcus is the chief bacterial factor, as acne, abscess,
furuncle; empyæma, endocarditis, etc. ; Sepin-A toxin of Proteus
vulgaris, prepared by Dr. Shedd, same symptoms as Pyrogen, of which it
is the main constituent; Echinacea; Carbo; Ars; Lach; Rhus; Bapt.
Complementary: Bryon.
Dose.--Sixth to thirtieth and higher potencies. Should not be repeated
too frequently.
