Indepth Product Information:
Disintegration and IMPERFECT OXIDATION is the keynote of this remedy. The typical
Carbo patient is sluggish, fat and lazy and has a tendency
to chronicity in his complaints. Blood seems to stagnate in the capillaries,
causing blueness, coldness, and ecchymosis. Body becomes blue, icy-cold. Bacteria
find a rich soil in the nearly lifeless blood stream and sepsis and typhoidal
state ensues.
A lowered vital power from loss of fluids, after drugging; after other diseases;
in old people with venous congestions; states of collapse in cholera, typhoid;
these are some of the conditions offering special inducements to the action
of Carbo veg. The patient may be almost lifeless, but the head
is hot; coldness, breath cool, pulse imperceptible, oppressed and quickened
respiration, and must have air, must be fanned hard, must have all the windows
open.
This is a typical state for Carbo veg. The patient faints
easily, is worn out, and must have fresh air. Hemorrhage from any mucous surface.
Very debilitated. Patient seems to be too weak to hold out. PERSONS WHO HAVE
NEVER FULLY RECOVERED FROM THE EFFECTS OF SOME PREVIOUS ILLNESS. Sense of weight,
as in the head (occiput), eyes and eyelids, before the ears, in the stomach,
and elsewhere in the body; putrid (septic) condition of all its affections,
coupled with a burning sensation. General venous stasis, bluish skin, limbs
cold.
The deodorant and disinfectant properties of charcoal in bulk had already been
discovered when Hahnemann was at work on Materia Medica. Provings with the crude
and the potentised substances showed that the latter were much more powerful
in their effect on the animal organism. These brought out the fact that there
is an exact correspondence between the effect of crude charcoal and potentised
Carb-v. Both are antiseptic and deodorant.
The signs and symptoms of decay and putrefaction are the leading indication
for its medicinal use: Decomposition of food in the stomach, putrid diseases
and ulcerations, symptoms of imperfect oxygenisation of the blood. Carb-v.
antidotes the effects of putrid meats or fish, rancid fats, salt or salt meats,
and also the pathogenetic action of Cinchona, Lach, and Merc. It is suited to
conditions where there is lack of reaction (like Opium), to low states of the
vital powers, where the venous system is engorged, debility of greater intensity
than Carbo an., to children after exhausting diseases, to old people.
Leading symptoms are: Numbness of limbs.
Burning pains (as also Carb-an. both the products of a burning process).
Great debility as soon as he makes the least effort.
