Rubrics re fluid in lungs

[ChristineL]

What are the rubrics for “fluid in lungs”?

 

[Dr. Jeff]

Hi Christine.

It depends on the repertory used, but in general these are found in the chest section.

The medical word used is typically "dropsy", for example:

CHEST - DROPSY : (49) acet-ac.k Am-c.k Ant-t.k APISk APOC.k ARS.k Asaf.k Aspar.k Aur-m.k BRY.k calc.k Canth.k Carb-v.k Carbn-s.k chin.k chinin-ar.k COLCH.k Crot-h.k Dig.k Dulc.k ferr-m.k Fl-ac.k HELL.k Iod.k Kali-ar.k KALI-C.k Kali-i.k Lach.k Lact.k LYC.k Merc.k MERC-SUL.k mez.k mur-ac.k Nat-m.k op.k Psor.k Ran-b.k rat.k Sang.k Seneg.k Sil.k Spig.k Squil.k stann.k Sulph.k Ter.k uran-met.k Zinc.k

The "K" aft each remedy stands for Kent (this rubric is from his experience and repertory).

Another, more complete one, is from Synthesis repertory which starts with Kent then incorporates experiences from others:

And there are other applicable rubrics that describe fluid in the chest, and the effects from it.

However, pathology like this is not typically a "leading" symptom.

This means that it often doesn't lead you to the curative homeopathic medicine, but is still an important part of the totality of symptoms.

By curative I mean the best possible remedy aka the similimum.
