BARYTA CARBONICABARYTA CARBONICA
(Carbonate of Baryta)
Bar-c.
Especially suited for infants and the elderly. This remedy assists scrofulous children, particularly those who are mentally and physically underdeveloped, stunted in growth, and have scrofulous eye inflammation, a swollen abdomen, susceptibility to colds, and always swollen tonsils. It is beneficial for those prone to quinsy with a tendency to suppuration; their gums bleed easily. In old age, it addresses degenerative changes, particularly in the heart, blood vessels, and brain, often accompanied by a hypertrophied prostate or hardened testes, extreme sensitivity to cold, offensive foot sweats, and profound weakness necessitating support when standing. There is a strong aversion to meeting strangers. It affects glandular structures, aiding in general degenerative changes, especially in arterial walls, aneurysms, and senility. Bar-c. acts as a cardiovascular toxin, affecting the muscular layers of the heart and blood vessels, leading to arterial fibrosis, softening, and degeneration, predisposing to aneurysms and strokes.

Mind: Memory loss, mental weakness, indecisiveness, loss of self-confidence, senile dementia, confusion, bashfulness, aversion to strangers, and childish behavior with undue grief over trivial matters.

Head: Vertigo aggravated by standing in the sun, with a sensation of stitches extending through the head, loose feeling in the brain, hair loss, confusion, and the presence of wens.

Eyes: Alternating dilation and contraction of pupils, photophobia, sensation of gauze before the eyes, cataracts.

Ears: Hardness of hearing, crackling noise, painful and swollen glands around the ears, reverberation on blowing the nose.

Face: Pale, puffy, sensation of a cobweb, swelling of the upper lip.

Mouth: Dry mouth upon waking, bleeding and receding gums, stomatitis with inflamed vesicles, foul taste, paralysis of the tongue, burning pain on the tip of the tongue, dribbling of saliva at dawn, esophageal spasms on swallowing.

Throat: Swollen submaxillary glands and tonsils, easy susceptibility to colds with stitching and smarting pain, quinsy, suppurating tonsils after every cold, inflamed tonsils with swollen veins, smarting pain on swallowing, sensation of a plug in the throat, difficulty swallowing solids, spasm of the esophagus causing gagging and choking, stinging pain in tonsils, pharynx, or larynx.

Stomach: Waterbrash, hiccoughs, eructation relieving pressure, hunger with food refusal, postprandial epigastric pain and tenderness, worsened by warm food, gastric weakness in the elderly possibly indicating malignancy.

Abdomen: Hard, tense, and distended abdomen, colic, enlarged mesenteric glands, abdominal pain on swallowing food, habitual colic with hunger but refusal to eat.

Respiratory: Dry, suffocative cough in the elderly, rich in mucus but lacking expectoration strength, worsened by weather changes, sensation of inhaling smoke, chronic aphonia, chest stitches worse on inspiration, feeling of lungs filled with smoke.

Heart: Palpitations and discomfort in the cardiac region, aneurysms, increased heart rate and blood pressure initially, followed by vessel contraction, palpitations when lying on the left side, especially when thinking of it, full and hard pulse, cardiac symptoms following suppressed foot sweat.

Back: Swollen glands in the nape of the neck, fatty tumors around the neck, bruised pain between the shoulder blades, sacral stiffness, weakness in the spine.

Extremities: Pain in axillary glands, cold and clammy feet, fetid foot sweats, numbness of limbs, numbness from knees to scrotum relieved by sitting, sore toes and soles, painful soles when walking, joint pain, burning pain in lower limbs.

Sleep: Talking in sleep, frequent waking, feeling excessively hot, twitching during sleep.

Modalities: Symptoms worsen with contemplation, washing, lying on the painful side; improve with outdoor walking.

Relationship: Comparable to Dig., Rad-br., Arag., Oxyt., Astrag. Complementary to Dulc., Sil., Psor. Incompatible with Calc. Antidote for toxic doses: Epsom salts. Dose: Third to thirtieth potency; the latter removes predisposition to quinsy. Bar-c. acts slowly and may require repeated dosing.BARYTA CARBONICA

selection of the potency

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Acute vs. Chronic Conditions:

    • Lower potencies are often used for acute conditions, while higher potencies may be considered for chronic or long-standing issues.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Aggravation or Amelioration:

    • The direction of the symptom response (aggravation or amelioration) after taking a remedy can influence the choice of potency.
  8. Miasmatic Considerations:

    • In classical homeopathy, the concept of miasms (inherited disease tendencies) is considered. The practitioner take this into account when selecting the potency.
  9. 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
