In fact, as a homeopathic remedy, alumina possesses several other and very effective therapeutic purposes and is useful in treating several health conditions and associated symptoms. Moreover, alumina is a very safe homeopathic medicine and people using it do not face the risk of its accumulation either in any part of their body or the brain. This is primarily owing to the fact that the homeopathic remedy alumina does not retain even the slightest trace of the mineral aluminum in the curative solution prepared from it.

The mineral aluminum is extensively used in medications meant for treating indigestion since it causes antacid effects. In fact, aluminum is also widely used in the manufacture of cooking utensils. It may also be noted that people who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease have a significant build up of aluminum in their brains. Hence, there is a growing concern in a section of people as well as medical practitioners regarding the use of cooking utensils made with aluminum as to a certain extent; they blame the aluminum utensils for such accumulation on the mineral in the brain of the patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Therefore, it is not surprising that the homeopathic remedy alumina prepared from aluminum is prescribed to treat senile dementia.

The homeopathic remedy alumina does not belong to a very ordinary constitutional sort. In fact, alumina belongs to one of the groups of medicines, which, according to homeopathy, is recommended for people who are mentally unsteady and, at the same time, are susceptible to developing hysteria. People who require alumina most are those who may have endured a history of unstable circumstances in their childhood, such as having a family history of psychological ailments as well as alcoholism. These diseases - mental illness and alcoholism, are a manifestation of the syphilitic miasm (strong pessimistic view) running in the family of the patient.

Generally, the homeopathic medicine alumina is recommended to aged people or also people who are senile or may be enduring poor memory or absent-mindedness. Such people may also be very sensitive to piercing objects and gripped with the fear of becoming insane owing to such sensitiveness. People who need alumina have a frequent feeling that something dreadful is about to occur to them and this may result in hopelessness and even dementia. Interestingly enough, such people have been found to generally have a craving of substances that are inedible, for instance, ordinary items like coffee grounds or even pencils. Whenever a person displays such symptoms, it is advisable that they seek medical aid and, in homeopathy, alumina is the most appropriate remedy for their sufferings and problems.

Comments

From Elizabeth - Mar-24-2011

Having CFS/ME (chronic fatigue syndrome), I can vouch for alumina as an excellent remedy for the condition. It does match many of the symptoms of the condition as officially described by the NHS. Although, there are many theories as to what CFS/ME is, is caused by. My hunch has always been that its primarily to do with the nervous system, long before I even heard of homeopathy. I would speculate that it may be an autoimmune condition that attacks the nervous system. I do feel this is a very slow acting remedy mirroring the slowness and apprehension of the individual requiring it. However, as CFS/ME patient I have achieved a lot career wise and have put this down to been slow but sure. I will say though that homeopaths would do well to look at a patients greatest weakness as also their greatest strength (i.e., where does the cure lead). We alumina patients, when we are not continually skeptical can also benefit greatly from simple old fashioned encouragement and support. But unfortunately a lot of modern homeopaths are over psychologising, which is really just judging. I have seen three homeopaths before the forth one who prescribed alumina a couple months ago. These over psychologising homeopaths needed remedies themselves and they were infuriated that I told them so. I bet they are glad (by now) they met me though. Keep homeopathy classical.
