Homeopathy Remedy For Addison’s Disease
ADDISON’S DISEASE.
#Arsenicum. [Ars]
This is the most homoeopathic of all remedies to this disease.
Both the disease and drug have nerve depression, gastric irritation,
general debility, feeble heart action and tendency to vomit.
The skin symptoms have also a curious similarity; both the burning and
the discoloration have been found in several cases of poisoning by
*Arsenic.
The disease, though considered an incurable one, may have its
development arrested by the proper remedy. Among other remedies to be
thought of are: **Thuja; Natrum muriaticum, which especially corresponds
to the languor, muscular fatigue, indigestion, melancholia, etc., so
often present at the onset of the disease; **Belladonna,
Calcarea carbonica, Iodine and Phosphorus.
Arsenicum iodatum is also especially worthy of a trial.
Tuberculinum may also be well indicated.
Boenninghausen gives **Antimonium crudum, Nitric acid, **Secale and
Spigelia as remedies producing a bronzed skin. **Argentum nitricum
is a promising remedy and has greatly benefited one case. It produces
loss of appetite, chronic wasting and diarrhoea.
The fact that it stains the skin by its chemical action is of no
therapeutic value.
Argyria is not Addison’s disease.
