STANNUM METALLICUM
(Tin)
Stann.
Main effects target the nervous system and respiratory organs, with pronounced debility, especially in chronic bronchial and pulmonary conditions marked by excessive muco-purulent discharge on a tubercular base. Talking induces a weak sensation in the throat and chest. Pains that appear and disappear gradually suggest Stann. Paralytic weakness, spasms, and paralysis are key features.
Mind: Sad, anxious, discouraged, with a dread of social interactions.
Head: Ache in temples and forehead, with persistent acute coryza and influenza accompanied by cough. Pain worsens with motion and feels constrictive, as if bound by a band. Forehead sensation of inward pressure; walking causes painful head jarring. Drawing pains in malar bones and orbits; ulceration in ear lobe.
Throat: Adhesive mucus hard to expel, causing nausea; dry, stinging throat.
Stomach: Hunger, with cooking smells inducing vomiting. Bitter taste; pain improves with pressure but is sore to touch. Sensation of emptiness.
Abdomen: Cramp-like colic around the navel with a feeling of emptiness (worms). Relief from hard pressure.
Female: Bearing down sensation, prolapsus with a weak, sinking stomach feeling. Early, profuse menses; vaginal pain radiating upwards and to the spine. Debilitating leucorrhea.
Respiratory: Hoarse, with mucus expelled by forceful cough. Evening dry cough lasting until midnight. Cough triggered by laughing, talking, or singing, worsening on the right side. Daytime cough with green, sweetish expectoration. Sore, weak chest; difficulty talking. Influenzal cough from noon to midnight with scanty expectoration. Short, oppressive respiration (asthma); stitches on the left side during breathing or lying on that side. Mucous phthisis. Hectic fever.
Extremities: Paralytic weakness; drops items. Swollen ankles. Sudden weakness in limbs when sitting down. Dizziness and weakness descending. Spasmodic forearm and hand twitching; jerky fingers when writing. Neuritis; typewriter’s paralysis.
Sleep: Sleeps with one leg drawn up and the other extended.
Fever: Evening heat; exhausting night sweats, especially towards morning. Hectic. Perspiration mainly on forehead and neck, debilitating, with a musty or offensive odor.
Modalities: Worsened by using voice (laughing, talking, singing), lying on the right side, warm drinks. Improved by coughing or expectorating, hard pressure.
Relationship: Complementary: Puls. Compare: Stann-i. 3x (for chronic chest diseases with plastic tissue changes and persistent cough, often benefiting from an additional dose of lod. in milk if Stann-i. fails). Compare: Caust., Calc., Sil., Tub., Bac., Helon. Myrtus chekan (chronic bronchitis, phthisis cough, emphysema with gastric complications and thick yellow sputum; older people with weakened expectoration).

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
