Clinical Tips & Practitioner Insights
"AURUM MUR NAT has more power over uterine tumours than any other remedy."
"One remedy we need much more often than we think in our cases is AURUM METALLICUM, which is always needed when there is hypertrophy in the heart or some accompaniment of high blood pressure and when people are easily made angry. It is not necessary for them to have an aversion to life, just angry is enough. Here, AURUM is very often indicated. This anger comes from a defective liver that accompanies such heart cases."
"Blood pressure high"
"Cancer of nose"
"Depression and insomnia"
"Infarction of heart"
