Action: Is complex (as of Op.). Is initially a stimulant to nerves creating a tonic invigorating effect, which is but a forerunner of hypertonicity-hyperaesthesia and abnormal cerebral nervous excitement producing vertigo, then vigorous deliriums,and even mania (-a-potu), a state of intoxication. At this turbulent stage we get its universal commotion (spasms, stitches etc.). As a counterpart of this nervous excitement, we get also mental habitude (dulness). Lastly comes relaxation, ending in a locomotor ataxia with sensory and motor inco- ordination and unsteadiness (like Onos.), numbnesses, or even paralysis, also a dementia (typifying senility).
Interveningly at any stage one may be subject to neuro- vegetative disturbances (catarrhs, also asthenia) in the G-I.,G- U.or Respiratory tracts too.These conditions may appear also without neuro-excitements in (neurotic) patients (cp. Lyc.).
All along these, (intellectual) pts. become more and more chilly and hostile to everything cold; also to snow, with impact on the (epidermis, and various pains.
Chronicity, with slowly deepening pathologies.
Anemia of nerve-centres (in brain and spine) due to persistent spasms or contractions of blood-vessels,causing numerous effects (motor and sensory); result of over brain work.
Fungi prominently act on CNS (producing universal commotion ), sexual organs (producing increased desire ) and skin (producing irritation ) resulting secondarily into the phase of depression

Relations : All fungi act first on the C.-S. nervous system. Mushrooms must be avoided by those susceptible to cold and wet. Agar. is a cocktail of Bell., Can-i., Gel., Hyo., Onos., Stram. Is related to Rhus-t. which antidotes Penic., which three (along with Am-c.,and Lach.)form a group. Agar. contains Kali-ph. which may be an antidote(like Kali-hyp.) to it. Agar. does not thrive on ferro-carbonaceous soil, is antidoted by charcoal. Therefore Agar. and Grap. could be related as acute and chronic; Grap. and Antip. are so already. Antip. seems to be a simpler Agar., perhaps also an antidote to mushrooms (and Agar.); its symptoms are intensified in coffee addicts, and coffee antidotes Agar.; it is also antidoted by Bell. which is inimical to Agar. Prob. therefore Agar., Antip., Bell., Coff., Grap. form a group. Antip., an alkaloid, compares well with Muscarine and Physostigmine. A special kinship exists between Agar. (hostile to cold) and Laur. (itself cold), both (with Lyc.) fight against garlic intolerance. Similar : Gel., Lach., Nux-v., Onos., Phos., Phys., Rhus-t., Tarn.,Tub. (both have ambi-phasic symptoms). Trios : 1. Agar.- Tub.- Phos. 5. Bell.- Agar.- Calc. 2. Agar.- Rhus-t.- Phos. 6. Agar.-Laur.-Lyc. 3. Rhus-t.-Agar.- Calc. 7. Agar.-Laur.-Graph. 4. Agar.- Ars.- Rhus-t. 8 . Agar.- Ars.- Tub. In the above trios, trio no.1 and 5 need an explanation. Ars. and Phos. are twin brothers and Rhus-t. and Tub. are acute and chronic. This crossing is interesting. Complementary: Bry., Bufo., Calc-ph., Graph.,Laur., Lyc., Merc., (Nat-m.),Sep., (Sul.), Tarn., Tub. Complementary to : All-s., Ars.,Bell.,Cal-c., Chel., Laur.,Merc., Op., Puls., Rhus-t., Sil., Stan (-i). Counterpart : Lach. ((<) spring, sleep, (>) winter; Agar. opposite).
Compare : Kali-p.: Agar. is more sthenic and not pyemic; has irritability, universal commotion (while Kali-p. has complete inertia), is more pronouncedly chilly.
Apis-m.: both are awkward and clumsy,drop things and break dishes, but Apis has aversion to heat while Agar. is better with heat.
Cocc.: quite similar, but Agar. is not so refined and cultured and is very agitated.
Compare also : Anha., Can-i.,Cimi., Chin., Ign., Myg.,Psor., Zin-ph.
Antidotes : Abs., Ars., Atrop., Bell., Calc., Can-i., Lach., Op., Pul., Pyro., Rhus-t., Tub.
Antidoted by : brandy, camphor, charcoal, coffee, wine.
Antidote to garlic.
Lyc.complements both Agar. and All-s.
Agar. is syphilitic Bell.
Agar is syphilitic Rhus-t. and psoric Nux-v.
Agar. is our homeopathic Penicillin. Agar. cures the rash from P. Both are fungi and also tubercular and hydrogenoid.
"Midway between Stram. and Lach.", also Lach.Plus Stram.= Agar.; also Agar Plus Psor.= Stram.
Agar. contains : Large number of alkalis: Cholin, Acetylcholin, Muscarine, Muscaridine (Kogl), Bufotenine, Ibotenic acid, Muscazon and Butyltri-methylammonium; Selerium and Vanadium in the form of trace elements.

Relations : All fungi act first on the C.-S. nervous system. Mushrooms must be avoided by those susceptible to cold and wet. Agar. is a cocktail of Bell., Can-i., Gel., Hyo., Onos., Stram. Is related to Rhus-t. which antidotes Penic., which three (along with Am-c.,and Lach.)form a group. Agar. contains Kali-ph. which may be an antidote(like Kali-hyp.) to it. Agar. does not thrive on ferro-carbonaceous soil, is antidoted by charcoal. Therefore Agar. and Grap. could be related as acute and chronic; Grap. and Antip. are so already. Antip. seems to be a simpler Agar., perhaps also an antidote to mushrooms (and Agar.); its symptoms are intensified in coffee addicts, and coffee antidotes Agar.; it is also antidoted by Bell. which is inimical to Agar. Prob. therefore Agar., Antip., Bell., Coff., Grap. form a group. Antip., an alkaloid, compares well with Muscarine and Physostigmine. A special kinship exists between Agar. (hostile to cold) and Laur. (itself cold), both (with Lyc.) fight against garlic intolerance. Similar : Gel., Lach., Nux-v., Onos., Phos., Phys., Rhus-t., Tarn.,Tub. (both have ambi-phasic symptoms). Trios : 1. Agar.- Tub.- Phos. 5. Bell.- Agar.- Calc. 2. Agar.- Rhus-t.- Phos. 6. Agar.-Laur.-Lyc. 3. Rhus-t.-Agar.- Calc. 7. Agar.-Laur.-Graph. 4. Agar.- Ars.- Rhus-t. 8 . Agar.- Ars.- Tub. In the above trios, trio no.1 and 5 need an explanation. Ars. and Phos. are twin brothers and Rhus-t. and Tub. are acute and chronic. This crossing is interesting. Complementary: Bry., Bufo., Calc-ph., Graph.,Laur., Lyc., Merc., (Nat-m.),Sep., (Sul.), Tarn., Tub. Complementary to : All-s., Ars.,Bell.,Cal-c., Chel., Laur.,Merc., Op., Puls., Rhus-t., Sil., Stan (-i). Counterpart : Lach. ((<) spring, sleep, (>) winter; Agar. opposite).
Compare : Kali-p.: Agar. is more sthenic and not pyemic; has irritability, universal commotion (while Kali-p. has complete inertia), is more pronouncedly chilly.
Apis-m.: both are awkward and clumsy,drop things and break dishes, but Apis has aversion to heat while Agar. is better with heat.
Cocc.: quite similar, but Agar. is not so refined and cultured and is very agitated.
Compare also : Anha., Can-i.,Cimi., Chin., Ign., Myg.,Psor., Zin-ph.
Antidotes : Abs., Ars., Atrop., Bell., Calc., Can-i., Lach., Op., Pul., Pyro., Rhus-t., Tub.
Antidoted by : brandy, camphor, charcoal, coffee, wine.
Antidote to garlic.
Lyc.complements both Agar. and All-s.
Agar. is syphilitic Bell.
Agar is syphilitic Rhus-t. and psoric Nux-v.
Agar. is our homeopathic Penicillin. Agar. cures the rash from P. Both are fungi and also tubercular and hydrogenoid.
"Midway between Stram. and Lach.", also Lach.Plus Stram.= Agar.; also Agar Plus Psor.= Stram.
Agar. contains : Large number of alkalis: Cholin, Acetylcholin, Muscarine, Muscaridine (Kogl), Bufotenine, Ibotenic acid, Muscazon and Butyltri-methylammonium; Selerium and Vanadium in the form of trace elements.
