Lachesis

▲   GENERAL

General

Like all snake poisons, Lachesis decomposes the blood, rendering it more fluid; hence a hemorrhagic tendency is marked. Purpura, septic states, diphtheria, and other low forms of disease, when the system is thoroughly poisoned and the prostration is profound. The modalities are most important in guiding to the remedy. Delirium tremens with much trembling and confusion. Very important during the climacteric and for patients of a melancholic disposition. Ill effects of suppressed discharges. Diphtheritic paralysis ( Botulinum.) Diphtheria carriers. Sensation of tension in various parts. Cannot bear anything tight anywhere.

▲   MODALITIES ETC

Worse

WORSE, after sleep ( Kali Bich ^Kali-bich.) Lachesis sleeps INTO worse; ailments that come on during sleep (Calc Carb ^Calc.); left side, in the spring, warm bath, pressure or constriction, hot drinks. Closing eyes.

Better
