GELSEMIUM SEMPERVIRENS NEUROTIC HOMEOPATHIC REMEDY
G.Lucidum.G.Nitidum.Bignonia sempervirens.Yellow Jasmine. N.O. Loganiaceae.
Tincture of bark of the root.
Proved by Dr.J.H.Henry(1852),Dr.E.M.Hale(1862)
GELSEMIUM SEMPERVIRENS is yellow flowering plant indigenous to the sough. It is an evergreen, and puts forth its fragrant flowers among the earliest in the spring. It is highly poisonous; especially active in this respect is the bark of the roots. During our late civil war this plant was largely used in the south as a substitute for Opium as a narcotic.
It is a member of Loganiacea, all of which are more or less poisonous, from this order we obtain also Nux vomica, Ignatia and Spigelia.
Its alkaloid, Gelsemine, is a mydriatic like Atropine and Duboisine. Applied locally or sued internally in large doses, it dilates the pupil. Given internally in small doses, however, it contracts the pupil.
It is not only one of the most important additions to the materia medica for whose introduction we are mainly indebted to Hale, but it is also in the first rank of importance among the vegetable polychrests.
A drug is of importance in homoeopathy not so much by reason of the great number of the symptoms it causes, as by possessing a number of well-marked and clearly characterised symptoms which correspond to symptoms constantly met with in every-day practice.
It was this which at once gave Gelsem a place among the polychrests ofhomoeopathy.
GENERAL ACTION.
Acts powerfully upon the motor nervous system, causing a passive congestion of the brain and spinal cord, and as a result giving rise to convulsions and general prostration and paralysis of the whole muscular system, both voluntary and involuntary, finally paralyzing respiration. The circulation is
increased, the mental powers become sluggish, the mucous membranes are irritated and inflamed, and conditions resembling remittent and catarrhal types of fever are manifest. The leading expression of Gelsemium is its low nervous condition, manifested by drowsiness, languor, disposition to be
quiet, and erethism.
Like its botanical relatives, Gelsem, is a great paralyser. It produces a general state of paresis, mental and bodily. The mind is sluggish; the whole muscular system is relaxed; the limbs feel so heavy he can hardly move them.This condition exists in the cases of typhoid that call for it; the lassitude is expressed by the patient; with Mur.ac, there is the lassitude, but the patient does not express it.
The same paretic condition is shown in the eyelids, causing ptosis; in the eye muscles, causing diplopia;
in the oesophagus, causing loss of swallowing power; in the anus, which remains open; in diarrhoea from
depressing emotions or bad news; in relaxation of the genital organs.
Functional paralyses of all descriptions. This is shown again in some features of the headaches. They are accompanied by blurring sight, and relieved by a copious discharge of watery urine from a paretic condition of the kidneys. Conversely there may be a desire to urinate during the night, and if the call
is not immediately responded to a violent headache supervenes.
Post-diphtheritic paralysis; debility after pollutions; great prostration from irritability of seminal vesicles..
The mental prostration is typified in "funk," as before an examination, stage-fright, effects of anger, grief, bad news, and is accompanied by drooping eyelids. Alcoholic stimulants relieve all complaints where Gels. Is useful. Hysterical dysphagia or aphonia, after emotions.
Measles and eruptive disorders, with drowsy state, suffused face, and even convulsions. Convulsions are no less marked in Gels than paralyses.
Neurotic symptoms in cigar-makers, impotence, palpitation.
There is excessive weakness and trembling, but the consciousness is not so clouded.
Many symptoms occur in connection with the sexual organs, male and female.
