Homeopathy. Various provings of Xxxxxx perennis have been carried out starting from both the mother tincture and the spagyric tincture [Deacon] obtained from the whole plant. The symptoms are more or less superimposable. For the sake of clarity, in this text the information relating only to the spagyric proving is indicated with“(Xxxxxx-p-sp.)”. The notable vulnerary properties of Xxxxxx are known also in homeopathy. Xx. Xxxxxxx wrote that “it acts very much like Xxxxxx, even to the production of erysipelas.” Xx. Xxxxxxx has cured several cases of tumours originating in a blow with its aid. [Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx] Xxxxxx is an important remedy especially for deep traumas, whether they happen to the physical body or to the psyche. It is a remedy that should be considered whenever a mistreatment or hurt has been suffered in deep parts, for instance, after an operation or an accident, or when the emotional body has been mistreated in an emotional conflict. [Vithoulkas] It is indicated for both near and remote effects of traumas. [Xxxxxx] Xxxxxx symptoms can arise as a consequence of overwork or of repeated traumas: muscles or tendons strained from weight lifting, stiffness and soreness of the bodies of old people working as labourers or gardeners after comparatively little work, and also excessive masturbation. Workmen who are forced, due to their profession, to stand, walk or travel a lot find this remedy of use. In all these cases Xxxxxx is a better prescription than Arnica or Rhus tox. [Anschutz, Vithoulkas] The Xxxxxx remedy has a specific tendency to enclose painful spots, caused by hurt or mistreatment in either the psyche or the physical body, hiding them in such a way that they cannot viewed from or have access to the outside [Vithoulkas]. According to Xxxxxxxxxx, the Xxxxxx perennis personality is characterized by a deep tumor in the feelings. Xxxxxxx and sore emotions are buried and hidden in the deep recesses of the patient’s feelings, into a hard spot (a kind of “psychic tumor”) which the patient never reveals to those around him, presenting instead a happy face, in perfect accordance with Xxxxxx’x description of the plant: “the daisy is a flower which is repeatedly trodden upon and always comes up smiling afterwards.” [Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx] The Xxxxxx patient has a deep fear that people can penetrate his defences and touch the painful area he knows to be there: if this painful spot is opened up by chance (or due to a sensitive contact by another person), an e...
Homeopathy. With respect to homeopathy (highly dilute plant or mineral extracts), the only reference found in the Web of Science reported no statistically significant positive effect of these preparations in combating pests of tomatoes in the field, and sometimes reported negative effects on disease management (particularly septorium on the foliage). More encouraging results were obtained in a greenhouse trial, but the experiment was not repeated and the findings thus require further confirmation. A recent study surveyed the principal homeopathic remedies used against the most common diseases of tree fruits, market garden crops, and flower crops. The study lists a series of experiments and observations, but does not provide the underlying data that would allow for a scientific assessment of the efficacy of the suggested “recipes.”
