TABACUM Q, 6C, 12C, 30C, 200C, 1M, 10M USES AND SYMPTOMS
TABACUM
(Tobacco)
Tab.
Tabacum exhibits a distinct symptom profile, including nausea, dizziness, pallor, vomiting, cold sweat, and intermittent pulse. It has notable antiseptic properties and counters cholera germs. It causes total muscular collapse and is indicated for conditions like gastralgia, enteralgia, seasickness, and cholera infantum, with a preference for an uncovered abdomen. It stimulates vigorous peristalsis and diarrhea, and induces high tension and arteriosclerosis in coronary arteries. This makes it highly suitable for angina pectoris with coronaritis and hypertension. Symptoms include throat, chest, bladder, and rectal constriction, pallor, breathlessness, and a hard, cord-like pulse.
Mind: Feels intense wretchedness, deep despondency, forgetfulness, and discontent.
Head: Vertigo upon eye movement; severe headache with intense nausea; periodic occurrences. Sensation of tightness as if banded. Sudden hammer-like pain. Nervous deafness. Increased secretion from eyes, nose, and mouth.
Eyes: Blurred vision as if through a veil; strabismus. Amaurosis; floating specks. Central scotoma. Rapid blindness with venous hyperemia and optic nerve atrophy.
Face: Pale, blue, pinched, sunken, sweaty, and cold (similar to Ars., Verat.). Freckles.
Throat: Nasopharyngitis, tracheitis, morning cough sometimes with vomiting. Hoarseness in public speakers.
Stomach: Persistent nausea, aggravated by tobacco smoke (similar to Phos.); vomiting with minimal movement, sometimes fecal, during pregnancy with excessive spitting. Seasickness; faint, sinking feeling in the stomach. Sense of relaxation with nausea (similar to Ip.). Gastralgia with pain radiating to the left arm.
Abdomen: Cold. Prefers abdomen uncovered to reduce nausea and vomiting. Experiences painful distention and incarcerated hernia.
Rectum: Constipation; paralyzed, prolapsed rectum. Sudden, watery diarrhea with nausea, vomiting, weakness, and cold sweat (cholera); discharges like sour milk, thick, curdled, watery. Rectal tenesmus.
Urinary: Renal colic with severe left-side ureter pain.
Respiratory: Difficult and violent chest constriction. Precordial oppression with palpitations and shoulder pain. Cough with hiccough; dry, teasing cough needing cold water (Caust., Phos.). Dyspnea with tingling in the left arm when lying on the left side.
Heart: Palpitations while lying on the left side. Intermittent, weak, imperceptible pulse. Angina pectoris with pain in the sternum. Pain radiates from the sternum. Tachycardia, bradycardia, and acute dilatation from shock or exertion (Royal).
Extremities: Icy cold legs and hands; trembling limbs. Paralysis post-apoplexy (Plb.). Unsteady gait. Weak arms.
Sleep: Insomnia with a dilated heart, cold clammy skin, and anxiety.
Fever: Chills with cold sweat.
Modalities: Worse with eye movement, evening, extreme temperatures. Better with uncovering and fresh air.
Relationship: Compare with Hydrobromicum acidum, Camph., Verat., Ars. Compare also with Nicotinum (alternating tonic and clonic spasms, general relaxation, trembling, nausea, cold sweat, collapse, head retraction, eyelid and masseter muscle contraction, rigid neck and back muscles, hissing respiration from laryngeal and bronchial spasm).
Antidote: Vinegar; sour apples. Camph. is a physiological antagonist. Ars. (chewing tobacco); Ign. (smoking); Sep. (neuralgia, dyspepsia); Lyc. (impotency); Nux-v. (bad taste from tobacco); Calad. and Plan. (tobacco aversion); Phos. (tobacco heart, sexual weakness).

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
