ELAPS CORALLINUS, Materia medica

- THOMPSON M,
Jayesh shah p. 35 homeopathic links 3/94
According to Shah the main theme of Elaps is the dread of being alone and when alone fears that something is going to happen. A feeling of threat as if he is going to be beaten up, feeling as if ruffians are going to break in, which explains the desire for company. Some very important features of Elaps are the amelioration while travelling by car (Naja), playing in the grass ("playful, desires to play in the grass) and the dreams of being raped, attacked (Cenchris, Sepia).

The special action which this poison seems to exercise on the right side, the paralysis, the lancinations, have appeared to me worthy of attention. The gyratory motions, the desire to move to and fro, the scaling off of the epidermis and several symptoms relating to the disposition and the mind, seem to deserve the attention of the philosophical physician.
