The best way to learn about homeopathic remedies is to understand them from the homeopathic stalwarts – Hahnemann, Boericke, Clarke, Hering, Murphy, Boger, Boenninghausen, Kent, Margaret Tyler, and many others. Homeopathic literature by them is a treasure box for every homeopath. We must learn the uses of homeopathic remedies through their experiences and apply in our daily homeopathic practice. Here are few key remedies with their keynote symptoms for specific conditions to help you get confident in prescribing them.
Keynote symptoms of Homeopathic Remedies
1. Homeopathic catheter – Sabal serrulata
Sabal is an organ remedy for its marked action on genito-urinary organs.
A urinary catheter is inserted in the urethra to drain urine from the bladder in disease conditions affecting the genito-urinary system. Sabal is indicated in prostate enlargement when there is urine retention and difficulty in passing urine. It acts as a homeopathic catheter helping in the drainage of urine freely.
2. Often replaces the use of the catheter – Thlaspi Bursa Pastoris
It is a well-known homeopathy remedy in haemorrhagic conditions but is also indicated in urinary complaints when the urine runs away in little jets. After using this remedy the urine flows easily and hence avoids the usage of the urinary catheter.
