Psychoneurosis
  I have successfully used in psychoneurosis cases. The indication is all complaints and diseases begin on the left and go to the right sided, mostly aggravation after sleep. Lachesis 200 potency is my choice always and repetition once a month.


Right sided lachesis
Dr. Rekha Karnam Srinivasan,Chennai
   
A male of 65 years of age who had suffered from left Hemiplegia one year back, of late grew very suspicious about normal daily activities of his family members. He talked for hours animatedly and his contempt for his wife was formidable. Lachesis merely gave great aggravation. On careful examination his right half of the body had more skin eruptions than left

 
side and it bled profusely after slight rubbing. Blood was dark red and did not clot readily. He had constipated bowels, which upset him even more. Crotalus Horrid us 30 promptly relived him along with “Sleep Apnea” for which Lachesis is considered the first grade medicine.

Crotacus Horridus
 

I have successfully used this remedy in Ulcerative colitis, Hepatitis, and Retina complaints with bleeding tendencies. Few cases of Purpura also responded well to this remedy.

Lachesis : Lachesis is a good remedy for Hypertension with Renal Complaints.

Crotalus horridus
  I had used Crotalus horridus in Jaundice. A patient came with pain in liver region with yellow colouration of face, conjunctiva, distended abdomen with tenderness, constant nausea, and bilious vomiting. Intolerance of clothing on stomach region which was worse on lying right side and better by fanning and rest. Past history revealed that two months back the patient

received tetanus toxoid, then the complaints started. A dose of Crotalus Horridus 200 cured his jaundice.


Stammering Remedy
Dr.T.S.Jeyalakshmi, Madurai
   
Lachesis has its own Jealousy, Suspicious and basically. Great loquacious remedy with right-sided affection had proved clinically in climacteric conditions. Most complaints associated with sleep aggravation. Crotalus Horridus, an excellent haemorrahigic remedy. Dark and blue bleeding call this remedy. Bothrops is an anti allergic remedy.It is very beneficial in
 
sneezing and wheezing, particularly dust allergy. This remedy is useful in children with stammering speech.

Suspicious of Lachesis
 

Suspicious Husband

A 46 years old male who is on treatment with me for Diabetes Mellitus enquired me,

Is it possible for one to become pregnant even after having done tubectomy?”

It may be possible that there may be a chance of recanalisation and a chance of pregnancy.”
I answered

“Doctor how do you confirm that one is pregnant?” He asked me>
I told him that we do a test Gravindex if that is positive then we confirm pregnancy. After twodays he came with a gravindex card, which was negative.

“See Doctor! My wife’s periods are delayed by seven days; Don’t you think that it is a shame to have a baby when my last daughter is twelve year old.”
I took this incidence casually.

After two days his younger sister and elder brother came to my clinic and told that there was lot of commotion going on in his family They narrated that he has become very erratic in his behavior with his wife and neighbours. As soon as he come from office he checked his bedroom and examined the bed, whether it is remaining in the same manner as he had left; he examined and shouted for new stains on the wall;

One day he returned home breaking his duty at his office and rushed home and latched the backyard door and knocked the front door. When his wife opened the door he ran to the bed room and searched underneath the bed and checked every room and smelling the whole place including the bathroom.
They concluded and demanded to save their sister in law. When his wife consulted me for some other complaint she burst out that her husband was compelling her for all sorts of perverted sexual behavior, which he never used to do before.

I prescribed Lachesis when he approached me to take me for house visit to examine his mother who has been suffering with hemplegia. Drastic results there in; Happy family now!

Suspicious Wife

In another case, a lady teacher aged 52 years consulted me at the out patient Department of Saradha Krishna Homoeopathy Medical college Hospital with arthritis since 10 years. She had an ulcer in the left foot that developed by hot fomentation for joint troubles, oozing thin watery fluid. There were varicose veins in the lower extremities, which was paining with occasional burning. Her joints showed some degree of deformities

Patient is the eldest daughter of the family. She wanted to join in the convent but father was not willing to send her to the convent. Then she got married. Husband is four years younger to her. Husband is not a caring one. He is also a teacher, he talks with the other teachers but not with her. Everyday he gets up early in the morning and watches all the girls who come to fetch water in their well. Having two sons and one daughter. they are also like their father, having their own girls and boy friends.

Taking in to consideration of the insecurity and other available features I prescribed Kali. Carb 30 and Rhus. Tox 200 then the potency was raised to 200, 1m without any relief, even after three months. So I thought of a counseling session with the family members. During a follow up visit the second son was accompanying her so I have taken him for counseling and to my utter surprise I got the following history from the son.

From the day of the marriage itself father and mother were not in good terms. this was brought to his knowledge by the grandparents. Mother is always a dominating one. More over she does not like any one talking to father. She is always suspicious about father. The suspicion is to the extent that she has behaved very erratically. Mother thought that father is having an affair with one of the lady teachers of the school and so every night she used to lock the father inside the room and changes the lock and key almost every three to four days with the fear that the father may get a duplicate key made and may go out.

He adds that there is a heap of lock and keys in their home. He also told me that, she became tired of buying lock and keys, so that she brought ribbons and tied one end to the latch of the door and the other end to her toe. She can never tolerate friends of the sons and daughter; she insults them if they come home. Somehow we are tolerating her.

My prescription Lachesis restored her complaints now!
