Pulsatilla Totality

[Dr.Rajeev Nagar]

I experienced during pregnancy is the best suitable time to selection of homoeopathic medicine(constitutional) bcz that time mother and baby’s nature fully expressed so selected medicine would be 100% accurate. so far we can save our generation .
for the selection of accurate medicine we must command our poly crest medicine near abt 60 medicine.
i am giving one example of totality of medicine .........
puls have main 4 charecterstic-
1.dryness in mouth with thirstlessness and tastelessness
2.company desire(Kali carb)
3.< any spicy,fatty(kachori,samosa,puri ) things but found in many medicine
4. hot patient also found in many medicine
1st symptom is main charecterstic if that one found then puls otherwise puls is not it is deciding symptoms .
(a)pulsatila is acute of Graphitis if patient is puls in puberty stage after puberty patient dont sex desire in climatric stage u may think abt graphitis ,graphitis has nvr sex in infertility women u can give grphitis in infertility.if Graphitis totality is present .
(b)patint is puls have weeping tendency in acute after some time patient feel lack of confidence u may think abt SILICIA if silicia totality present
(c) puls patient have skin problem in acute but shift into chronic then u think abt kali sulph.
it is classical hpathy method............

Ok everyone, I have a complaint. This is a website and a forum. Everyone here writes like they are on their texter or in a chatbox. That is not professional when discussing remedies and it does not help in clarity either. I propose to leave all abbreviations for the mobile network and the chat and in the forums write out everything in full. Don't be lazy here please.

Kind regards,
Kaviraj.

Nmskr,
all mentaly and physicaly well proved medicines are polycrest medicine
i think totality means ,the group of symptoms which are rare,uncommon,streng,extreme,abnormal must be present in "totality of symptoms"
and in pulsatilla `s main charecterstic "dryness in mouth with thirstlessness "is strenge and abnormal and rare,in nature so it is key point of puls or deciding symptom of puls.allthough tristlessness is found in many medicine but dryness in mouth with thirstless is not found any medicine except pulsatilla .............
2ndly extreme company desire found in puls patient normally human nature wants company and homoeopathy does the study of extrem ...........and puls patient can`nt live alonness .(it also found in kali carb,Ars but 1st symptom is not in ...................)
3rd, and 4th symptoms found in lot of medicine so they are less important to us in puls case bc`z above 2 symptons show clear totality of puls ...............

I have seen only physicals here. Where are the mental symptoms?

You mention thistlessness, but since Puls is a polychrest, the opposite is eqially true.
Pulsatilla hates fat, but i have seen many who like it.

First we must define what is a polychrest.
A polychrest is a remedy that shows symptoms of a vey wide range, which may show complete opposites in their symptoms in different individuals and in the same person.

As an example we take Lycopodium, which is a coward in one situation - e.g at work - while in another situation he is a bully - e.g. at home towards wife and children.

As to Pulsatilla, here is an example which is its epitome.
The kangaroo is the epithome of this remedy - a joey lives for 2 years in its mother's pouch and drinks milk. The ultimate in Pulsatilla clinginess. As my experiences in Australia have shown, it is the remedy eminently suited to them, after they lose their mother to a road-train that kills them. They are often rescued by volunteers and kept in their backyards till they are fully grown and released back in the "wild".

In regards to the totality of symptoms:
“Useful to the physician in assisting him to cure are the particulars of the most probable exciting cause. In these investigations the ascer-tainable physical constitution, mode of living and habitat age and sexual function are to be taken into consideration.”
(Organon § 5)

Kent gives us the following description of the totality of symptoms:

“The ‘totality of symptoms’ means a good deal. It may be considered to be all that is essential to the disease. It is all that is visible and represents the disease in the natural world to the eye, the touch and external understanding of man”
(‘Lectures on the philosophy.’ page 85)

[Dr.Rajeev Nagar]

rigid Os sapasmodis pains, false labour pains, with a History of abortion, are some ofthe indications of caullophyllum in pregnancy, after pains lochia protracted , atony of uterus etc are other symptoms seen in caullophyllum,and other medicines but these are usual symptoms of pregnanancy and hpathy have to study abnormal, extrem, rare, so we must survyeing such type of symptoms .

[Dr. Meakin Mittu M.D.(Hom.)]

dr nagar

nice description regarding totality you are insisting that thirstless with dryness of mouth is the particular part of totality of puls to indicate it ..in other sense we cannot prescribe without its presence.
dr nagar,
in radar,under stomach and rubric thirstlessness there are only 9 rubrics as follows :
thirstless;
general
acc by dryness of lips
acc by mouth dryness
acc by tongue dryness
chill during
fever during
heat during
persp during
shivering during

these are 9 thirstless rubrics in synthesis but there are 23 thirsty rubrics in the same repertory as follows

thirst;
general
morning
afternoon
evening
night
night-midnight
night midnight after
burning,vehement
chill after
chill before
chill during
eating while
extreme
fever during
heat after
heat before
heat during
menses before
menses during
persp before
persp during
small quantities for fever during
small quantities and often

so dear dr nagar,now how wud u rate puls as,as a thirstless remedy or a thirsty remedy...is it a condition or must have rubric for the puls to be prescribed or out of these rubrics only one is useful and rest are not.

i am confused somewhere so needs some clarificateion
thanks

[Dr.Rajeev Nagar]

ok i think totality means ,the symptoms which are rare,uncommon,streng,extreme,abnormal must be present in "totality of symptoms"
and in pulsatilla `s main charecterstic "dryness in mouth with thirstlessness "is strenge and abnormal and rare,in nature so it is key point of puls or deciding symptom of puls.
2ndly extreme company desire found in puls patient normally human nature wants company and homoeopathy do the study of extrem ...........and puls patient can`nt live alonness .(it also found in kali carb,Ars but 1st symptom is not in ...................)
3rd, and 4th symptoms found in lot of medicine so they are less important to us in puls case bc`z above 2 symptons show clear totality of puls ...............

i think now puls is clear if you hv any cnfsn we can discuss......................

take care

Perhaps we need a definition of "totality"? What does that include?

[Dr.Dhiraj Premkumar Samuel]

dear Dr. Rajeev Nagar good atempt to start of with but I personally feel that the totality you chose to give an example for pulsatilla is too little . In other words i would say that if the same symptoms not help you differentiate it from another, we have failed to get the totality, the uniqueness of the medicine potrayed as a personality type is what i would explain as a totality, at the very first look itselt it sould give you points that would strongly make you think of a certain remedy,

Pulsatilla being useful in pregnancy is true but not because of its totality, there could be other medicines like caullophyllum whic may also be indicated in pregnancy , what is the indication ( prescribing totality) of pulsatilla in pregnancy is wat maters e.g rigid Os sapasmodis pains, false labour pains, with a History of abortion, are some ofthe indications of caullophyllum in pregnancy, after pains lochia protracted , atony of uterus etc are other symptoms seen in caullophyllum, but this is only symptoms pertaning to a particular sector and still is not a complete tolatily

[Dr.Rajeev Nagar]

Thank you for your appreciation!!!!!!and try my best for HWC................

[Debby Bruck]

Dear Drs. what a great dialogue. It is helpful to review polycrest remedies. Please remember this web is for everyone, even the uninitiated to homeopathy. Make clear so new people may understand.Please clarify some abbreviations, too.

such as fat

It seems that during an emergency acute situation the polycrests and keynotes are important to discern the remedy because all main symptoms are clear, intense and precise. However, if there is time, a more in-depth interview can bring up symptoms that may show the need for a smaller or maybe lesser known remedy.
