GRANATUM Homeopathic Remedy Tapeworms
The Pomegranate. Granatum pomegranate. Punica granatum. Le Grenedier.
Natural Order: Granateae. (Lythraceae).
Homeopathic proving was made with a tincture or trituration of bark of root. Historical dose: Trituration, tincture and all potencies, first to third potency.
The pomegranate probably originated in Iran. The tree is cultivated in the countries around the Mediterranean Sea and in Western Asia, particularly in areas where the climate is too dry for citrus trees. Pomegranates need plenty of sunshine. The fruit is shaped like an orange. The outer skin is smooth and leathery, is first green to purplish red, and later yellowish brown. The fruit is full of seeds surrounded by transparent yellow-pink flesh. The large number of seeds give the fruit its name [granatum = having many grains]. The juice, grenadine, has a refreshing sweet-and-sour taste. In the visual arts, the pomegranate has been a motif for centuries [a symbol of harmony]. The abundance of seeds also made the fruit a symbol of fertility. Aside from this
Signature, modern research shows that the seeds contain a substance identical to oestrone [folliculin]
The name Punica is derived from the Latin puniceus, a word that means both purple and Punic. The first association refers to the color of the tree's flowers and fruit, and the second to Punic [from Poeni, the Carthaginians]. Punic means 'faithless, treacherous, deceitful,' as the Romans alleged the Carthaginians to be. The tree is said to have been very common in the area of
Carthage, from where the Romans took their pomegranates.
"In the Mediterranean region the tree is thought to give protection against evil spirits and the fallen blossoms are often threaded on necklaces and hung round the necks of children to alleviate stomach ailments. There is a belief that every Pomegranate fruit contains one seed, which has come from Paradise. It was once thought that a whipping with Pomegranate branches could drive out the devil." [Perry]
The bark of the tree contains alkaloids, of which pelletierine is the most important. Pelletierine contains strychnine-like characteristics. Large doses cause dizziness, sight disorders and muscle cramps. Death can occur through paralysis of the respiratory center.
An alkaloid, Pelletierine (C8 H13 NO), discovered by Bertrand Pelletier is obtained from the rind of a fruit.
