TEREBINTHINIAE OLEUM
Ter.
Selectively targets bleeding mucous membranes, causing notable tympanites and urinary symptoms. Kidney inflammation presents with dark, passive, fetid hemorrhages. Bright’s disease may precede dropsy (Goullon), leading to drowsiness and strangury, potentially resulting in coma. Unbroken chilblains are observed.
Head: Dull band-like pain (Carb-ac.), vertigo with vision loss, and disturbed balance. Thoughts become tiring and difficult to concentrate. Presents with a cold head, sore nostrils, and a tendency to epistaxis.
Eyes: Ciliary neuralgia in the right eye, intense pain in the eye and side of the head, and alcohol-related amblyopia.
Ears: Own voice feels unnatural; experiences a seashell-like hum, with painful loud talking. Otalgia noted.
Mouth: Tongue is dry, red, sore, and shiny, with a burning sensation at the tip and prominent papillae (glossitis) (Arg-n., Bell., Kali-bi., Nux-m.). Cold, foul breath. Sensation of choking in the throat. Inflammation of the mouth. Teething issues.
Stomach: Nausea and vomiting, with heat in the epigastric region.
Abdomen: Severe distention and diarrhea; stools are watery, greenish, fetid, and bloody. Pain occurs before flatus, relieved post-stools, with bowel hemorrhage and potential worms (lumbricoides). Abdominal dropsy and pelvic peritonitis may occur, alongside fainting after stools and enterocolitis with hemorrhage and ulceration.
Urinary: Strangury with hematuria; scanty, suppressed urine with a violet odor. Urethritis can cause painful erections (Canth.), and nephritis may follow acute illness. Persistent tenesmus noted.
Female: Intense burning in the uterine area, with metritis and puerperal peritonitis. Metrorrhagia accompanied by burning sensation in the uterus.
Respiratory: Breathing difficulty; distended lungs and hemoptysis.
Heart: Rapid, small, thready, intermittent pulse.
Back: Burning pain in the kidney region, with drawing pain in the right kidney extending to the hip.
Fever: Heat with severe thirst, dry tongue, and profuse cold, clammy sweat. Typhoid symptoms include tympanites, hemorrhages, stupor, and delirium, leading to prostration.
Skin: Acne, erythema with itching pustular and vesicular eruptions; urticaria. Presents with purpura, ecchymosis, dropsies, scarlatina, and chilblains with severe itching and pulsative pain. Muscular aching soreness.
Relationship: Compare with: Alumn., Sec., Canth., Nit-ac., Terebenum 1x (chronic bronchitis, winter coughs, subacute inflammation of the respiratory tract. Loosens mucus, relieves tightness, and aids in expectoration. Useful for neurotic coughs, and hoarseness in public speakers and singers. Treats cystitis with alkaline and foul-smelling urine). Ononis spinosa (Rest Harrow, a diuretic for chronic nephritis, with effects similar to Juniper. Helps with kidney stones and nosebleeds, worse with face washing).

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

- 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
