8. PHYSIOLOGICAL ACTION OF DRUG
•SPHERE OF ACTION
•This has a powerful action upon the cerebro-spinal
system, especially centering upon the pneumogastric
nerve; has a special affinity for the outlets of the
body, throat and rectum, also affects the genito-
urinary organs, and intestinal tract.

9. PHYSIOLOGICAL ACTION OF DRUG
•- Brain-Congestion, coma, sensory nerve life
destroyed.
•- Cord-Spasms, convulsions, sudden prostration.

•- Blood-Rapid decomposition.
•- Haemorrhage.

10. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN LACHESIS
VENOM ENTER THE HUMAN

PHOSPHOLIPASE A2 ISOLATED FROM LACHESIS MUTA.
• The bushmaster (Lachesis muta) of Central and South America, the world's longest pit
viper, is capable of injecting a large dose of potent venom when it bites.

14. DRUG PICTURE
•Like all snake poisons, Lachesis decomposes the
blood, rendering it more fluid; hence a haemorrhagic
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.

bilious temperament, to ailments associated with the menopause and, as Hering
says, it is "better adapted to thin and emaciated than to fat persons.
• Two important polychrests which are the ground remedies and remedies of
morbid temperaments: Sepia and Lachesis. Both are remedies of person who are
perhaps the carriers of warts, but the sycotic condition in both of them is not pure
and not of the first importance

42. CLINICAL IMPORTANCE AND ITS
THERAPEUTIC USE
• Dr Kent Clinical tip
• Disorders of the cardio vascular system
• The most lovely of all uses of Lachesis is in producing Euthanasia. When there is genuine heart
failure, Lachesis will kill, but so placidly, so pleasantly, without a pain or discomfort. The patient
will go to sleep and never wake up. When the dyspnea is of the lungs and there is not a true
heart failure, there will be a wonderful relief. In true cardiac cases with vital failure, Lachesis will
hasten away the patient
• Condition
• Euthanasia
• Cardiac Failure

Case 42 - Lachesis
Epithelioma
1885. Mr ------- clergyman. Epithelioma of several years standing on the left upper

of the body.

45. CLINICAL IMPORTANCE AND ITS
THERAPEUTIC USE
• Case 47 - Lachesis
• Hemophilia
• History
Has been a bleeder since birth. Just before he was born his mother had a tooth extracted, and the bleeding from the gum
could not be stopped for a long time.
Every scratch or little cut he had would keep on bleeding until he was almost exsanguinated and then the wound would
heal. Had smallpox when a year old.
At 12 years of age he sustained a small cut on forearm, the haemorrhage from which could not be stopped. Suturing was
attempted in Pennsylvania Hospital, but this only increased the bleeding points.
Was in Hospital for 5 weeks, and when he was "bled out" the wound healed. Fracture of right thigh bone and delayed
union-8 weeks before any union was observed.
Every slight bruise followed by extensive ecchymosis. Epistaxis continued for 3 or 4 days once. Rheumatism for the past
two years, since the development of which the bleedings have not been so troublesome.

needed.
• Dr E.B Nash 30th potency and also recommended in higher potencies.
• Dr Hahneman used 30th.(JHC)
• .8th to 200th potency (WB)
• In Raynaud’s disease,Dr George Royal recommends the 500th or 1000th advising to
give time for its action.

60. COMPARATIVE STUDIES WITH OTHER
HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES
• The majority of physicians make a mistake in beginning their treatment of scarlatina. A
mistake in the beginning means one of two things, either a long, tedious illness, or a
short one, ending with death. The mistake made is to give Belladonna in every case.
Let us look for a moment at the differences between Belladonna and Lachesis. Both
remedies have the strawberry tongue, the throbbing headache, the red face and the
high fever. Belladonna is indicated only in the sthenic type when there is an active
delirium, the throat is bright red in color, the pulse is full and bounding, the rash is
bright red and smooth. Lachesis on the other hand, is suitable where asthenia
predominates, with purplish, tardily-appearing rash, drowsiness, marked swelling of
the cervical glands, and other symptoms of malignancy above enumerated.

61. COMPARATIVE STUDIES WITH OTHER
HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES
• Lachesis: Similar symptoms-Congestive headache, better in open air and menstrual
flow, pain in ovaries before menstruation and disturbed sleep.
• Differentiating symptoms-Menses regular and scanty, having lot of premenstrual
complaints and chiefly left sided, talkative. Suspicious and dominant personality.
• Nat mur,: Similar symptoms Unilateral headache of reflex uterine origin, congestive
nature better in open air with pain in eye balls nasal catarrh with anosmia, obstinate
constipation.
• Differentiating symptoms-Left sided headache. Very sensitive personality with
cachetic constitution and desire for salt.

62. COMPARATIVE STUDIES WITH OTHER
HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES
•Pulsatilla: Similar symptoms- Delayed irregular
menses, menstrual colic, amenorrhea, leucorrhoea,
nasal catarrh.
•Differentiating symptoms-No thirst, intolerance to fat
causing diarrhea, hot patient but pain accompanied
with chilliness

63. COMPARATIVE STUDIES WITH OTHER
HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES
• Act, Racemosa: Similar symptoms-Reflex uterine headache, intense
aching in eye balls, pain from eyes to top of head, amenorrhoea and
ovarian neuralgia.
• Differentiating symptoms- Great depression with dream of impending
evil, menses profuse, dark, clotted, offensive with backache and pain
across pelvis from hip to hip.

64. COMPARATIVE STUDIES WITH OTHER
HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES
• Comparison of Lach and Nux-v
• Lach.
• Not only feels that he is going to receive the injury but also feels that he is being injured and
that too by the surroundings for which first he complains, communicates expansively and finally
laments about his sickness and condition.
• Lach. feels he has suffered wrong, for which he complaints and laments. Is careful and cautious
in his approach but very positive and objective. He feels whatever he is doing is right.
• Lach. does not believe in yielding and is not contented, keeps making complaints and keeps on
lamenting.
• At other times he may be playful and frivolous, may desire amusement and traveling.

65. COMPARATIVE STUDIES WITH OTHER
HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES
• Lach. has all the three states: despair recovery, of, doubtful recovery, of and hopeful.
During the stage of hopefulness he is frivolous and playful and in the state of despair
and doubt he complains and laments. Has a desire to be magnetized, which he can
easily be (MAGNETIZED, desire to, MAGNETIZE, easy to magnetized.) And being
magnetized amel. him. In the frivolous state he may refuse to take the medicine.
• DELUSIONS, die about to, he is, exhaustion, from (Single lach.)
• DELUSIONS, imagination, die, about to, he wishes someone would help her off. (lach.)
• Nux. Vom.

66. COMPARATIVE STUDIES WITH OTHER
HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES
NAJA
• . Naja is distinctly left-sided .
• Naja has unbearable heat sensations but
not always do you get the "hot iron"
sensation so often mentioned in the books
LACHESIS
• Lachesis is left to right.
• Lachesis has sensation of constriction
around the neck and waist.

67. TRICK TO MEMORISE LACHESIS
TRIGONOCEPHALUS
• Low grades of Inflammation
• As well as Suppuration,
• Cutaneous hyperesthesia seizes,
• Harassing the subjects of diseases:
• Erysipelas Diphtheria too:
• Scarlatina, all purple in hue.

68. TRICK TO MEMORISE LACHESIS
• In Fevers running an asthenic course,
• Sleeping, he wakes with symptoms much worse,
• Tongue black, and trembling, Delirious Brain,
• Raves of his death and his funeral train,
• Imagines his nurses to poison him seek,
• Glands swollen and pulse intermittent and week;

69. TRICK TO MEMORISE LACHESIS
• On the left side the troubles are often begun,
• Next over to right side their course they will run,
• After fall cinchonizing the Ague, suppressed,
• Comes back in the spring with augmented zest;
• Evening will find him with symptoms all worse;
• Pneumonia or Asthma existence may curse.

70. TRICK TO MEMORISE LACHESIS
• Hemorrhage is black and does not congeal.
• Apoplexy for cause will to whisky appeal.
• Likewise in Gangrene with moist or dry rot;
• Ulcers, when either in aged or not;
• Spasmus Glottidis, Hysterical or not.
