The use of Curare in homeopathy must nevertheless be done under the supervision of a specialist, because in the event of an overdose, the plant can be a danger to the patient. Such a cautious use of Curare is justified when you consider its history and its use in traditional medicine.
Origin and history of Curare
Curare is a substance extracted from certain Amazonian vines known by the Latin names of Chondodendron tomentosum and Strychnos toxifera. The plant from which the substance called Curare is extracted is found in the forests of Peru, Colombia and Brazil. It is usually a woody vine with leaves that are 10 to 15 centimeters long. Curare is actually a poison because it can cause asphyxiation and muscle distension that blocks the diaphragm and prevents it from functioning. However, Curare is only dangerous when absorbed into the bloodstream. The substance is used by Native American hunters to paralyze game. It has been mistakenly thought that Curare was once used to fight the Spanish conquistadors. In fact, the tribes of the Amazon never use it against humans. The French explorer Charles Marie de la Condamine brought the first samples of Curare back to Europe around 1745. However, it was not until the 1940s that the substance became better known and widely used in clinical and neurological medicine.
Harold
Griffith was the first doctor to use a preparation based on Chondodendron tomentosum to relax muscles during surgery in 1942. Many properties of Curare were subsequently discovered and isolated. The word Curare today refers to any drug used in anesthesia and capable of facilitating muscle relaxation. In pharmacology, a distinction is made between slow-acting curare and intermediate- and fast-acting curare. Curare is also used in homeopathy and is used in the treatment of many disorders, whether neurological or not.
Main homeopathic uses of Curare
Thanks to its active ingredients, Curare can treat many cases of paralysis. However, it should be used when the patient has certain symptoms. For example, patients who suffer from right deltoid palsy or who feel pain and have a numb left arm can benefit from the virtues of this substance. Cases of stiffness in the muscles and shoulders, accompanied by back pain, are treated with Curare.
Curare is also combined with other homeopathic medicines to treat cases of paresis after work, trimus and polyneuropathy. In addition to neurological conditions, this substance can improve the mental state of patients who present certain symptoms. Patients with nervous breakdowns who tend to isolate themselves will undoubtedly benefit from Curare. Cases of epilepsy followed by loss of consciousness and serious mental disorders have been treated with this substance. Finally, older people can use Curare to have more vigor and fight numbness. Other conditions are treated with this substance.
Other homeopathic uses of Curare
Curare is used to treat certain types of coughs: those that cause hoarseness of the voice and make it almost speechless, especially when this cough is accompanied by a throbbing pain in the larynx and prevents the patient from sleeping. Curare treatment should also be considered when coughing is accompanied by vomiting and headaches that cause redness on the face.
Very severe migraines can also be treated with Curare drops. If these cause dizziness or fainting and intensify during chewing, then Curare can improve the patient's condition. In addition, some head pain is mainly located above the right eye, and gradually extends to the back of the skull. Sometimes the patient vomits and at the same time has a stiff neck. In this case too, the use of Curare should be considered.
