Aluminum oxide

The homeopathic remedy alumina is derived from aluminum, one of the most common metals that most of us are familiar with. Aluminum is present in an assortment of things and, hence, this mineral is very popular. It has numerous uses - industrial, domestic as well as medicinal.

While the industrial and domestic uses of aluminum are well known, the medicinal use of this mineral is comparatively less known. However, many people are aware of the fact the mineral aluminum forms an effective component of various antacids, which many of us take regularly.

In homeopathy, aluminum is used in medicines that possess the aptitude to facilitate recuperation from dementia (a condition wherein there is an acute impairment of intellectual capacity and personality integration owing to damage to neurons in the brain).

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.

Chihuahua 10 year old unable to walk or stand on her feet received alumina 30 C and in 2 months has recovered walking up pet steps and down. Noticed she was constipated and gave her Greek yogurt in the morning and bread and has fully recovered.

At some point I like to write some comment down. My homeopathic doctor wrote me this Alumina. Because of inner turbulence what's causing me not being able to work or even put things set. I'm quite slow in most activities, what I notice for the descriptive symptoms. Also with negative way of usually seeing things. Sense of lack in true grounding and natural joy.
Family history includes psychological difficulties, and sensitiveness. Thank you. Hope this can be useful for others. While I believe in the truth of homeopathy.

Alumina works best for the totality of the symptoms. It is best not to self prescribe. Especially in chronic conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, etc. It's important not to drive the "disease" deeper into the body by suppressing the symptoms.

For a few weeks, besides other symptoms mentioned here, I have had the "feeling of a plug in the throat" that comes on about 11 am and is relieved somewhat by eating. I just took a second dose of Alumina 9c and the plug feeling has not appeared today. That's the least of my worries, so I hope it helps the rest of them.

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.
