Ingredients:
Acidum nitric. D12, Belladonna D12, Jaborandi D4, Kalium carbon. D6, Lachesis D30, Salvia offic. D30, Sambucus nig. D4, Sanguinaria D6, Sepia D30, Veratrum D12
Indications:
Undue perspiration (hyperhidrosis of varying genesis), climacteric flushing with sweat. Excessive perspiration during acute infectious diseases and fever. Other forms of perspiration (unpleasant smell). Nocturnal perspiration with exhaustion (pre-tuberculous cases). Hot, cold or sticky sweat.
Mode of action:
The operation of this remedy follows the pattern of strict offensive of its constituents:
Acid. nitric.: Highly disagreeable sweat.
Belladonna: Hot sweat, with vapour.
Jaborandi: Hyperhidrosis of varying genesis.
Kalium carbon.: Sweating, exhaustion—weakness between the shoulder blades, especially during nocturnal perspiration.
Lachesis: Flushing, with outbreaks of sweating.
Salvia offic.: Against sweat and night sweat.
Sambucus nig.: Sweating during acute diseases of various kinds.
Sanguinaria: Flushing with outbreaks of sweating.
Sepia: Climacteric flushing-sweating.
Veratrum alb.: Cold sweat.
This remedy will act in cases of sweating and the different kinds of perspiration which accompany certain illnesses.
Dosage:
As a prolonged cure: 3–4 times a day, 10–15 drops to be taken in some water.
In cases of intermittent perspiration (i.e. flushing, nocturnal sweat): frequent, eventually prophylactic doses, e.g. in nocturnal perspiration several doses at an interval of ¼ hour, 10–15 drops.
If perspiring occurs in the early part of the night, the same dosage will hold. One can wash in cold water to which vinegar has been added, followed by rubbing with a dilution of Hamamelis extract. To be shunned are toxic agents like synthetic colouring.
Remarks:
Complementary products recommended:
Sweating during infections (caused by temperature variations) makes it necessary to prescribe the following complexes:
In angina and influenza: R1 and R6.
In tuberculous affections: R48 and R57.
In bronchial diseases: Jutussin R8/R9 and R43.
In circulatory disturbances: see R3.
In coronary insufficiency: R2.
In thyrotoxicosis: R51.
