Carbon in its purity is found only in the diamond. We have it comparatively pure, however, in the lampblack, or Carboneum. Carbon will necessarily be somewhat different in its action according to the source from which we obtained it. Hahnemann used principally three carbons, CARBO ANIMALIS, CARBO VEGETABILIS and GRAPHITES.

1. CARBON
GROUP
BY
DR PREETHI JAMES P
PG PART 1 MM

3. INTRODUCTION
• CARBON IS DERIVED FURTHER FROM THE LATIN WORD “CARBO” WHICH
MEANS COAL.
• 15TH MOST ABUNDANT ELEMENT IN THE EARTH’S CRUST
• 4TH MOST ABUNDANT ELEMENT IN THE UNIVERSE BY MASS AFTER HYDROGEN,
HELIUM, AND OXYGEN.
• SECOND MOST ABUNDANT ELEMENT IN THE HUMAN BODY BY MASS AFTER
OXYGEN.
• CARBON IN ITS PURE FORM IS FOUND ONLY IN DIAMONDS AND GRAPHITE.

4. • CARBON IS A NON-METALLIC ELEMENT, WHICH IS A CHARACTERISTIC
CONSTITUENT OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS, CHEMICALLY INERT.
• ALL CARBON GROUP REMEDIES BELONG TO THE CHRONIC
METABOLIC REMEDIES
• THEY USUALLY ARE OVERWEIGHT
• ALL THE CARBON GROUP REMEDIES CAN BE SUBORDINATED WITH
RESERVATIONS TO THE CARBONITROGENOUS CONSTITUTIONS
• THEIR COMPLAINTS ARE AGGRAVATED BY COLD AND THERMALLY
THEY ARE CHILLY
• THEY SHOW DEPRESSED GAS EXCHANGE AND INCREASED
TERMINATIVE PROCESS

5. USES
o USED FOR SPARK PLUG.
o IN VACUM TUBES AS A DRYING AND OXYGEN
REMOVING AGENT.
o FLUORESCENT LAMPS: IMPURE BARIUM SULFIDE
PHOSPHORESCENCE AFTER EXPOSURE TO LIGHT
o ITS COMPOUND ARE USED BY OIL AND GAS
INDUSTRIES TO MAKE DRILLING MUD.
o ALSO USE TO MAKE PAINT, BRICKS, TILES, GLASS AND
RUBBER.
o RAT POISONING
o BARIUM NITRATE AND CHLORATE GIVE FIREWORK A
GREEN COLOR.

6. TOXICITY:
• SOLUBLE BARIUM COMPOUND ARE POISONOUS.
• IN LOW DOSE BARIUM IONS ACT
 AS MUSCLES STIMULANT.
• IN HIGHER DOSE IT AFFECT
 NERVOUS SYSTEM
 CARDIAC IRREGULARITY
 TREMORS
 WEAKNESS
 ANXIETY
 SHORTNESS OF BREATH
 PARALYSIS
 BLOCKING POTASSIUM ION CHANNELS

7. DOCTRINE OF SIGNATURE
• WHEN CHARCOAL BURNS, THE FUMES GO UPWARDS, LIKEWISE THE
GAS ACCUMULATES IN THE UPPER SIDE OF THE ABDOMEN OF THE
PATIENT.
• VEGETABLE CHARCOAL IS BLACK IN COLOUR LIKEWISE THE PATIENT
LOOKS BLUISH AND BLACKISH DUE TO CYANOSIS.
• ASH IS COLLECTED ON THE OUTER SURFACE, EXTERNALLY IT LOOKS
COLD BUT HEAT IS PRESENT INTERNALLY, LIKEWISE PATIENT IS COLD
EXTERNALLY BUT INTENSE HEAT IS PRESENT INTERNALLY.
• CHARCOAL REQUIRES FANNING FROM A VERY CLOSE DISTANCE TO
IGNITE, LIKEWISE PATIENT WANTS TO BE FANNED FROM A CLOSE
DISTANCE.
• WHILE PREPARING CHARCOAL THE BURNING WOOD IS DEVOID OF

8. SPHERE OF ACTION

9. AILMENTS FROM
• EXERCISE
• EXERTION
• OVER-LIFTING
• OVERHEATING
• HOT DRINK
• WRAPPING UP
• EMOTIONAL STRESS
• SPRAIN AND STRAINS
• LOSS OF VITAL FLUIDS
• COLD AIR, OPEN AIR
• MENTAL OR PHYSICAL STRESS

10. • CONSTITUTION
• “CARBONITROGENOID CONSTITUTION”.
• VITALITY IS TOO LOW, SLUGGISH, AND SLOW.
• “RIGID STRAIGHT” - ROBUST AND INTELLIGENT ON
ONE HAND AND THE OTHER HAND THEY ARE
DECLINED MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY.
• THERMAL RELATIONSHIP :
• CHILLY - EXTREMELY SENSITIVE TO COLD AIR.
• DIATHESIS - SCROFULOUS
• TEMPERAMENT- IRRITABLE AND MELANCHOLIC
• MIASM - ANTIPSORIC

11. MENTAL GENERALS
• SLUGGISHNESS – SLOWS DOWN MENTAL ACTIVITIES AND CAUSES
SLUGGISHNESS.
• THE PATIENT IS SLOW TO THINK, STUPID, LAZY, AND STAGNATION OF THOUGHTS.
• MENTALLY DULL SLOW IN UNDERSTANDING WITHOUT IDIOCY AND SLOW
GRASPING POWER.
• TIMIDITY IS THE MAIN FEATURE OF ALL CARBONS.
• THERE IS A STATE OF MENTAL CONFUSION AND IRRITABILITY.
• THEY HAVE A VALUE OF SELF-WORTH, DIGNITY, AND SELF-RESPECT.
• HARDWORKING (HARD WORKERS) THEY HAVE A SOCIAL STANDING AND ARE
QUITE UNSELFISH.
• ARISTOCRATIC PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN THE QUALITY OF BEING EXCELLENCY,
WORTHY AND HONORABLE.

12. • CARBON PERSONALITIES ARE EITHER VERY STIFF, HARDWORKING WHO KNOW
WHAT THEY WANT AND JUST GET ON WITH IT OR TO THE OTHER END VERY
UNSTABLE WHO GETS UPSET BY EVERY LITTLE INCIDENT
• CARBONS ALWAYS TRY TO FIND FATHER FIGURE OR AUTHORITIES FOR THEIR OWN
CHARACTERS AND DESTINATIONS OFTEN HIS MIND FROM HIS MOTHER THEY WANT
TO POSSES THE RIGHT TO COMMAND AND TO ENFORCE OBEDIENCE, THE POWER
OR RIGHT TO ACT AND DECIDE.
• WANT THE RIGHT TO ENFORCE OBEDIENCE, TO ACT, AND TO COMMAND.
• FIXED IDEAS - SUDDEN CHANGES IN THE MIND, EITHER FIXED IDEAS OR THE MIND
IS CONTINUOUSLY CHANGING.
• LACK OF CONFIDENCE AND TENDENCY TO SHRINK BACK FROM DAMAGE.
• THEY ARE SELF-WORTHY, VERY SHY, TIMID, AND EASILY FRIGHTENED

13. PHYSICAL GENERALS
ULCERS AND VARICOSITIES:
• MARKED TENDENCY TO PRODUCE VARICOSITY AND ULCERATION.
• THERE IS NO RAPID CHANGE OR REPAIR OF ULCERS.
PETROLEUM – SKIN DRY, CONSTRICTED, VERY SENSITIVE, ROUGH AND
CRACKED, LEATHERY.
CARBO VEG- IMPERFECT OXIDATION OCCURS. BLOOD SEEMS TO STAGNATE IN
THE CAPILLARIES, CAUSING BLUENESS, COLDNESS, ECCHYMOSIS, AND
ULCERATION.

14. OFFENSIVENESS:
• VERY OFFENSIVE AND PUTRID DISCHARGES FROM THE BODY.
• STOOLS, URINE, SWEAT, AND MENSES ARE VERY
OFFENSIVE.
 CARBO VEG-DIGESTION SLOW; FOOD PUTREFIES BEFORE IT
DIGESTS.
 KREOSOTE–OFFENSIVE SMELL AND DISCHARGE, OFFENSIVE
URINE.
BURNING PAINS:
• BURNING ALL OVER THE BODY AND ALSO IN PALMS AND SOLES.
• PAINS ARE SMARTING AND BURNING IN CHARACTER.
• BURNING SHOWS THE DESTRUCTIVE PROPERTIES OF CARBON,

15. CARDIO-VASCULAR SYSTEM:
• INEFFICIENT HEART, FEEBLE CIRCULATION, STAGNATION OF BLOOD
IN THE LUNGS, HYPOVENTILATION, CARDIAC ASTHMA, AND
COMPRESSIBLE THREADY, RAPID PULSE.
• HYPOSTATIC PNEUMONIA, MUCH RATTLING IN THE CHEST, AND THE
CYANOSED CONDITION ARE ALSO SEEN.
GASTRO-INTESTINAL TRACT:
• ITS ACTION ESPECIALLY ON THE MUCUS MEMBRANE OF THE
DIGESTIVE TRACT PRODUCES CATARRHAL CONDITION,
FLATULENCE, DISTENSION OF THE ABDOMEN, FOUL ERUCTATIONS,
INACTIVITY OF THE BOWELS, AND CONSTIPATION.
IN CARBONS, SLUGGISH LIVER WHERE NON-STARCHY FOOD ALSO
FERMENTS.

16. GLANDULAR AFFECTIONS:
• SWOLLEN AND INDURATED GLANDS.
• IT STIMULATES CANCEROUS ENLARGEMENT AND INFILTRATIONS.
• GLANDS ARE HARD AND SORE WITH INDURATED SURROUNDING TISSUE AND
INFILTRATE.
• ABSCESS - SLUGGISH, INDURATED.
SKIN:
• ALL CARBONS SHOW A SPECIAL AFFINITY TOWARDS THE SKIN PRODUCING
EXCORIATIONS AND ERYTHEMA FROM FRICTION OR RUBBING.
• SKIN IS UNHEALTHY, FAT, SLUGGISH, EDEMATOUS, AND BRITTLE.
• ECZEMATOUS ERUPTION AND INTERTRIGO.
• GANGRENE - THERE IS A DEPRESSED GAS EXCHANGE AND AN INCREASE IN
THE FERMENTATIVE PROCESS DUE TO WHICH THERE IS PUTRESCENCE.

17. IMPORTANT REMEDIES:
• CARBO ANIMALIS (CONTAINS PHOSPHATE OF LIME).
• CARBO VEGETABILIS (CONTAINS CARBONATE OF POTASH).

• CARBONEUM (LAMPBLACK).
• BISULPHIDE OF CARBON.
• PETROLEUM
• KREOSOTUM
• ANILINE SULPHATE

18. GRAPHITES
• PREPARED FROM BLACK LEAD, AN AMORPHOUS CARBON.
• PROVED BY HAHNEMANN .
• GRAPHITES IS AN ANTIPSORIC OF GREAT POWER.
• KENT: 'IT IS AS BROAD AND AS DEEP AS SULPHUR‘
• SO THERE IS NO USE IN REPEATING THE DOSE TOO FREQUENTLY
• 40-50 DAYS ACTION(BOERICKE)
• IN PHYSICAL APPEARANCE, OVERWEIGHT AND FLABBY, DARK HAIR AND
EARTHY COMPLEXION.
• THEY HAVE THE APPEARANCE OF GREATER VITALITY. (LABOURERS,
VILLAGERS, TRUCK DRIVERS)
• THE CLINICAL APPEARANCE HAS MANY SIMILARITIES TO THAT SEEN IN
CUSHINGS DISEASE.

19. • BLANDNES , DULLNESS AND HEAVINESS ON THREE LEVELS.
• STRIKING FEATURES OF GRAPHITES:
 AN EXCITEMENT FROM THE SMALLEST POSSIBLE CAUSE
 AMELIORATION FROM WEEPING.
o WOMAN IS VERY MUCH EXCITABLE IN ORDER TO SURVIVE, SIMPLY CANNOT STAY CALM.
• THE HOUSE IS A MESS, NOTHING WORKS, EVERYONE'S WORK IS UNDONE OR HALF-
DONE, AND HER HUSBAND AND CHILDREN COULD NOT CARE LESS. THEY RELAX AND
ENJOY THEMSELVES. AND SO THE WOMAN IS DISAPPOINTED, AND HAS TO BE
EXCITABLE AND RESTLESS.
• TIMID AND LACK OF SELF-CONFIDENCE.
• THEY CANNOT PLAN, ARE ABSENT-MINDED AND EASILY CONFUSED.
• BECOME RESTLESS WHEN THEY HAVE TO CONCENTRATE, TO THINK, TO APPLY THEIR
MINDS TO WORK. (THESE PEOPLE WILL SIT HOURS AT A CONFERENCE, DRAWING AND
SCRIBBLING, UNABLE TO CONCENTRATE. IF ASKED ABOUT THE CONFERENCE, THEY
MAY BE ABLE TO REPEAT THE EVENTS )
• ALL OF THESE MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL SYMPTOMS ARE WORSE IN THE MORNING -
ESPECIALLY UPON WAKING, BY EVENING, HOWEVER, THE PRESSURES OF THE DAY LET

20. • "AILMENTS FROM ANTICIPATION".
• THEY ARE ALWAYS UNEASY AND FRETFUL WITH THE FEELING OF SOME IMPENDING
MISFORTUNE. AND ANY SMALL TROUBLE OR PROBLEM CAN DRIVE THEM TO
DESPAIR.
• AMELIORATED FROM WEEPING.
• GRAPHITES WILL BE EXCITED, ANXIOUS, APPREHENSIVE, SAD, DESPAIRING AND
DESPONDENT; BUT THE MOMENT SHE EXPRESSES HER EMOTIONS, SHE BECOMES
CALM AND RELAXED.
• SHE CAN HARDLY KEEP ANYTHING TO HERSELF: HER DOUBTS, FEARS, LOVES AND
HATES; THEY HAVE TO BE EXPRESSED OR CONVEYED.
• IT IS LIKE A TUNING FORK THAT VIBRATES FROM A SLIGHT JERK AND RESTS ONLY
WHEN THIS VIBRATION IS TRANSMITTED TO SOMETHING ELSE.
EXAMPLE:
HOUSEWIFE WHO HAS RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT SOMEONE'S ILL HEALTH OR WHO
HAS HAD AN ALTERCATION WITH THE SHOPKEEPER, WHILE HER HUSBAND WAS AWAY.
SHE BECOMES WORKED UP, FRETS, IS EXCITED AND RESTLESS. SHE CANNOT SIT
AND DO HER WORK, BUT ANXIOUSLY AWAITS HER HUSBAND'S RETURN. AND ALMOST
AS SOON AS HE OPENS THE DOOR, SHE POURS OUT THE WHOLE STORY TO HIM. SHE
DESCRIBES EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED, EXCITEDLY AND WITH A LOT OF DETAILS,
