Phenobarbital, usually used as a sleeping pill, has calming properties and is one of the barbiturates. It is known by the chemical formula C12H12N2O3. Phenobarbital can be prescribed in homeopathy to treat many diseases, especially in dermatology. The remedy can be administered in the form of granules that are allowed to melt under the tongue. In addition, it should not be absorbed with certain substances such as mint, which reduces its effects. The use of Phenobarbital during homeopathic treatment is advantageous because this drug does not attack the body.
Phenobarbital comes in the form of a crystalline white powder that is soluble in water. Composed of ethyl-phenyl-barbiturate acid, it is a drug that has sedative, hypnotic, and anticonvulsant properties. It is used as a sedative and tranquilizer like Gardenal. It relieves anxiety and slows down the functioning of the nervous system and brain.
By
the 1930s, phenobarbital was used to cure epileptic seizures. It is also used to treat animals such as horses, cats and dogs as well as farm animals. In humans, phenobarbital is used to treat multiple sclerosis. It is a disease that is caused by the destruction of a substance in the nervous system. The main symptoms are movement disorders, numbness of the limbs or vision problems. This disease progresses by flare-ups and becomes disabling by affecting many functions such as speech or memory. In homeopathy, Phenobarbital is also used in dermatology to reduce itching caused by allergic pruritus. It is also prescribed in combination with other homeopathic remedies in cases of generalized pruritus. To this end, it relieves itching and accelerates the healing of lesions.
In
case of allergic pruritus, administer Phenobarbital 9 CH with Hydrastis D2 at a dose of 10 drops twice daily. If pruritus is generalized, combine Phenobarbital 9 CH with Radium 5 CH and Arsenicum album 5 CH. To treat acute disorders, it is recommended to use phenobarbital in a low dilution with close doses. Chronic conditions need to be treated for longer. For this purpose, the most suitable homeopathic remedy is Phenobarbital with high dilution.
