STROPHANTHUS HISPIDUS Q, 6C, 12C, 30C, 200C, 1M, 10M USES AND SYMPTOMS
STROPHANTHUS HISPIDUS
(Kombe Seed)
Stroph-h.
Stroph-h. acts as a muscle poison, enhancing the contractile power of all striped muscles. It affects the heart by increasing systole and reducing its rapidity. Beneficial for strengthening the heart and eliminating dropsical fluid buildup. In small doses, it’s useful for weak hearts that feel enlarged. Effective in mitral regurgitation with edema and dropsy (similar to Dig.). Stroph-h. causes no gastric issues, has no cumulative effect, is a better diuretic, and safer for the elderly as it doesn’t affect vasomotors. Used in pneumonia, severe post-surgical prostration, acute diseases, and for irritable hearts from tobacco smoking. Helpful in arteriosclerosis, restoring tone to stiff arteries and brittle tissues, especially in heart muscle and valves. Particularly useful for failing compensation due to fatty heart. Treats hives, anemia with palpitations, and exophthalmic goiter, especially in corpulent individuals.
Head: Temporal pain, diplopia, impaired vision, brilliant eyes, flushed face, and senile vertigo.
Stomach: Nausea with disgust for alcohol, aiding in dipsomania treatment. Seven drops of tincture recommended.
Urinary: Increased secretion, but scanty and albuminous.
Female: Menorrhagia and uterine hemorrhage; congested uterus, with aching pain through hips and thighs during climacteric.
Respiratory: Dyspnea, particularly on exertion. Lung congestion, edema, bronchial and cardiac asthma.
Heart: Quickened pulse, weak and irregular heart action due to muscular debility and insufficiency. Angina pectoris.
Extremities: Swollen, dropsical, anasarca.
Skin: Chronic urticaria.
Relationship: Compare with Dig. (though slower acting) and Ph-ac. (for weak hearts with irregular pulse and palpitations).

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
