The Natural Repertory of Prof. William Nelson

Let us now look at the homeopathic indications. Oscar E. Boericke’s
repertory calls it Caulophyllum, and it is a woman’s remedy. During
labor, when pains are present, the patient is exhausted and fretful. This
remedy is excellent in its ability to help birthing pains. It is good for the
stomach, dyspepsia, and all problems of the female system. It increases
stability of menses and leucorrhea, and works for stiff joints, etc. Here is
another example that the herbal recommendations are the same as the
homeopathic. Even using this in dramatically dilute form, at 30x, and
40x, there is stability in its action.
Another example is Blue Vervain, in Latin; Verbena. Its herbal
indications are that of a nervine tonic, anti-spasmodic, diaphoretic, and
beneficial for the stomach; astringent, fever-fugue, and antiseptic. Its
uses are for dyspepsia, indigestion, all liver conditions, kidney/bladder
complaints, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, hysteria, epilepsy, chorea,
nervous exhaustion, insomnia, diarrhea, nervous system, nervous
depression, weakness, spasms, and irritation. It promotes the absorption
of blood, and helps in pain and bruises. It is tremendously helpful for the
liver, insomnia, epilepsy, hallucinations, and mental exhaustion. Find
below a list of some of the formulas in the HPUS (Homeopathic
Pharmacopeia of the United States) which have similar indications
herbally as well as homeopathically.
As we go through the HPUS we will see that 65% or more of the HPUS
has similar indications herbally and homeopathically, making the two
modalities almost equal. By building this new definition into homeopathy
we can utilize the best of homeopathy, as well as naturopathy and herbal
therapy to help the American public demystify some of the homeopathic
reactions. This will give needed publicity as well as simplicity to allow
them to choose the system of homeopathy as a medical modality.
As can be seen from the dose-response curve in Figures 1, 2, and 3,
there are dramatic differences between the Arndt-Schultz principle of
poisons and Wilder’s law of initial value.
