Keynotes

Characteristics
Clarke

Ag. mar. has been principally used (in high potencies) for the effects of

residence near the sea (as biliousness, constipation, headache, &c.). It has been used in

wineglassful doses and also in potencies as a remedy for sea-sickness. It has been proved by C.

Wesselhceft. Among the symptoms were: Neuralgic pains down right temple and forehead.

Faceache left side; cold water intolerable. Sensation of a hair or fishbone in throat, tickling and

urging to swallow, causing cough, which does not relieve. Pain on swallowing, extending to ear

and temples. Nausea; and nauseous sensation in stomach and abdomen. This symptom seems

peculiar: "Constant hawking and raising of phlegm, tough and white like cotton." The leading

indication for it is: < at seaside; or on the sea.

Additional notes

APOMORPHINUM
Boericke

Alkaloid from Decomposition of Morphine by Hydrochloric Acid (APOMORPHIA)

  • The chief power of this drug lies in the speedy and effective vomiting that it produces, which becomes a strong guiding symptom to its homeopathic use.
  • The vomiting is preceded by nausea, lassitude and increased secretion of sweat, saliva, mucus and tears.
  • Pneumonia with vomiting.
  • Combined alcoholism, with constant nausea, constipation, insomnia.
Non-homeopathic Uses
Boericke
  • The hypodermic injection of one-sixteenth of a grain will cause full emesis within five to fifteen minutes in an adult without developing any other direct action apparently.
  • Do not use in opium poisoning.
  • Apomorph hypodermically, one-thirtieth grain or less, acts as a safe and sure hypnotic.
  • Acts well even in delirium.
  • Sleep comes on in half an hour.
