XANTOXYLUM FRAXINEUM
(Prickly Ash)
Xan.
This remedy specifically targets the nervous system and mucous membranes. It is indicated for paralysis, particularly hemiplegia, as well as painful hemorrhages, after-pains, neuralgic dysmenorrhea, and rheumatic conditions, especially in patients with a slender physique and sensitive constitution. It addresses indigestion caused by overeating or excessive fluid intake, sluggish capillary circulation, neurasthenia, poor assimilation, insomnia, and occipital headaches. It promotes mucus production in the mouth and stimulates secretion from all glands draining into the oral cavity.
Mind: Anxious and fearful. Experiences mental depression.
Head: Feels congested. Pressure and pain at the vertex, over the eyes, and throbbing sensations across the nose and forehead; a feeling of division in the head; tinnitus. Occipital headaches, with dizziness and bloating.
Mouth: Dry mouth and throat, pharyngitis (Wye).
Face: Neuralgia in the lower jaw.
Rectum: Griping pain with diarrhea. Dysentery accompanied by bloating and tenesmus; odorless stools.
Female: Menstrual periods occur too early and are painful. Ovarian neuralgia radiates to the lower back and abdomen, worsening on the left side and extending down the thigh along the genito-crural nerves. Neuralgic dysmenorrhea is accompanied by neuralgic headaches, back pain, and leg pain. Menses are thick and nearly black, with after-pains (Arn., Cupr., Cham.). Leucorrhea coincides with menstruation. Suitable for neurasthenic individuals who are thin, emaciated, and experience poor assimilation, insomnia, and occipital headaches.
Respiratory: Loss of voice. Persistent urge to take deep breaths (asthma); chest oppression. Dry cough persists day and night.
Extremities: Left-sided paralysis following spinal issues (multiple sclerosis). Numbness on the left; impaired motor nerve function. Hemiplegia. Pain in the nape radiating down the back (coccygodynia). Sciatica, worsening in hot weather. Anterior crural neuralgia (Staph.). Numbness in the left arm. Neuralgic, electric-like pain throughout the limbs.
Sleep: Non-refreshing and restless; dreams of flying. Insomnia in neurasthenics.
Relationship: Compare with: Gnaph., Cimic., Staph., Mez., Piscidia erythrina – White dogwood (a nerve sedative for insomnia due to worry, nervous tension, spasmodic cough; addresses irregular menstruation; regulates flow; helps with neuralgic and spasmodic conditions. Administer tincture in relatively substantial doses).
Dose: First to sixth potency.

selection of the potency
Individualization:
- Homeopathy is based on the principle of treating the individual, not just the disease. The unique symptoms and characteristics of the person are crucial in determining the most suitable potency.
Intensity of Symptoms:
- The intensity of the symptoms guides the choice of potency. If the symptoms are intense and acute, a lower potency (e.g., 6C, 30C) might be considered. For chronic conditions with less intensity, higher potencies (e.g., 200C, 1M) may be appropriate.
Sensitivity of the Patient:
- Some individuals are more sensitive to homeopathic remedies, while others may require higher potencies. The practitioner considers the patient’s sensitivity when selecting the potency.
Acute vs. Chronic Conditions:
- Lower potencies are often used for acute conditions, while higher potencies may be considered for chronic or long-standing issues.
Previous Response to Potencies:
- The patient’s response to previous homeopathic treatments helps guide the choice of potency. If a particular potency has been effective in the past, it may be repeated or adjusted as needed.
Vital Force and Susceptibility:
- Homeopathy views illness as a disturbance in the vital force. The practitioner assesses the patient’s overall vitality and susceptibility to determine the appropriate potency.
Aggravation or Amelioration:
- The direction of the symptom response (aggravation or amelioration) after taking a remedy can influence the choice of potency.
Miasmatic Considerations:
- In classical homeopathy, the concept of miasms (inherited disease tendencies) is considered. The practitioner take this into account when selecting the potency.
Practitioner Experience:
- The experience and preference of the homeopathic practitioner play a role. Some practitioners may have success with certain potencies based on their clinical experience.
SAFETY INFORMATION
- Do not exceed the recommended dose by physician
- Keep out of the reach of children
- Store in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight
- Maintain half an hour gap between food/drink/any other medicines and homoeopathic medicine
- Avoid any strong smell in the mouth while taking medicine e.g. camphor, garlic, onion, coffee, hing
