Anemia :: Anaemia, anemia treatment – Ferrum metallicum
Ferrum metallicum. Iron is the great allopathic remedy for anaemia from almost any cause. It is also a great homoeopathic remedy, but it will not cure every case of anaemia ; careful individualization is necessary.
When the patient has an appearance of full bloodedness or plethora, which is followed by a paleness or earthiness of the face and puffiness of the extremities, then Ferrum will benefit.
It is not the remedy for the anaemia resulting from loss of fluids ; that is Cinchona, or perhaps Natrum muriaticum.
When Ferrum is indicated the mucous membranes are pale, more so than with Cinchona, and there is apt to be an anaemic murmur in the veins of the neck. The patient is easily exhausted. Vomiting of food after eating may occur.
The patient is constantly chilly and perhaps has an afternoon or evening fever simulating hectic fever.
In very stubborn cases sometimes Ferrum phosphoricum may serve better than Ferrum metallicum.
Schuessler recommends first Calcarea phosphorica, then Ferrum phosphoricum.
In simple, uncomplicated chlorosis Ferrum is one of our best remedies.
Hughes recommends Ferrum redactum IX or 2X.
Ludlam praises Ferrum et strychnia citrate 3x, Dr. Jousset, Ferrum aceticum or the Ferrum protoxalate, and Dr. Holcombe, of New Orleans, used Ferrum phosphoricum.
All these preparations of Iron may benefit cases of anaemia and chlorosis ; if so, it is by virtue of their similarity to the symptoms of the case, and not because one or the other preparation of Iron is a tonic in the allopathic sense. By giving the indicated preparation of Iron it removes the underlying dyscrasia giving rise to the anaemic or chlorotic conditions and cures the trouble.
