Abroma augusta (Olat Kambal-H, Devil's Cotton-E)
The plant of Abroma augusta grows wild throughout the hotter part
of India. In ancient times, it was used therapeutically as an emmenagogue
in menstrual disorders. Late Dr. D.N.Roy of Calcutta proved this
drug. A tincture of the drug is prepared from its leaves according
to class III of American Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia. It is used in
diabetes insipidus with very gratifying results.
Clinically it is indicated in Diabetes, albuminuria, enuresis, debility,
vertigo, sleeplessness, carbuncle, amenorrhoea and dysmenorrhoea.
In brief, it has its action on all the systems of human body, which
are similar to Camphor, Acid-phos, Uranium nitricum, Syzygium and
Lactic acid but it is an excellent remedy for amenorrhoea, dysmenorrhoea
and diabetes. It is indicated in irregular catamenia where there
is tendency to appear before proper time and lasts for a short or
for a long period.
Abroma radix (Olat Kambal root)
This drug is prepared from the root of Abroma augusta. It causes
the menses to appear and gives the tone and strength to the uterus.
It may be compared to Pulsatilla and Viburnum opulus in this context.
Mentally such patients are ill tempered and are easily angered.
It suits the best in lowest dilution---Q, 2x and 3x. This particular
drug may be used for easy abortion minimizing the scope of D &
E operation.
Achyranthes aspera (Latjira)
It is a small herb commonly found all over India. The drug is astringent,
diuretic and alternative. It is applied in menorrhagia, diarrhea
and dysentery. Khar is largely employed in anasarca, ascites and
dropsy. It is also employed in cutaneous affections, enlargements
of glands and to loosen expectoration in cough. This particular
drug has a great reputation in Dog-bites, bites of snakes and venomous
reptiles. It is applied both externally and internally as per the
condition of the case. Its juice is sometimes used in toothache
and its paste as eye-salve (anjan) in opacity of cornea. Medicated
oil is dropped into the ear in deafness and noises in the ears.
The diuretic properties of the plant are well known to the natives
of the Indian and
European physicians who have been using this valuable drug in dropsical
affections. The homeopathic mother tincture is prepared from the
juice of leaves and branches. Further and thorough proving of the
drug may replace the diuretic drugs applied by modern school, which
may prove safe and the best for the sufferer.
