Homeopathy petroleum. Tectonic zoning of the shelf of the East Siberian and Chukchi seas based on the integrated interpretation of geological and geophysical data

Petroleum is an oily liquid with a high carbon content, but not pure coal. In therapeutic terms it stands somewhat between Sulfur and Phosphorus on the one hand, and Graphites and Carbo veg. on the other. We know that oil workers are prone to skin rashes. Pimples appear on the face and body, as if in swarms, and they feel itching and burning. Further, at the same time, a vesicular (vesicular) rash appears, developing into a full picture of eczema, wherever it appears. We find it useful in cracks of the skin, especially if they are in winter, when the hands are cracked and there is burning and intolerable itching in them. Sometimes ulcers develop.

Further, Petroleum is used in dislocations of the joints, especially in old, rheumatic patients. It is especially indicated in rheumatism, in stiffness of the knees, and this is accompanied by sharp, stitching pains in the knees and stiffness of the occiput with crackling sounds in it when moving the head, which indicates the roughness of the muscle fibers.

Then Petroleum must be remembered in diseases of the mucous membranes. It can be successfully prescribed for coryza. In this case, the discharge is quite in the nature of a rash. Crusts and purulent mucus are discharged from the nasal cavities. The nose is sore and the nostrils crack, as in Graphites. The nasal cavity is filled with purulent mucus, which causes spitting phlegm.

The eyes we also find affected by Petroleum. It is particularly useful in inflammation of the margins of the eyelids (blepharites marginalis). It is also indicated for inflammation of the lacrimal canal, when suppuration has begun and a fistula has formed. This tendency to form fistulas was also seen on the gums.

You should also be aware of the Petroleum cough. His cough is dry, painful, beginning when the patient goes to bed at night. We often meet this cough in children.

The only chest symptom of Petroleum is a feeling of coldness in the region of the heart. This symptom is characteristic of Natrum mur., in which it is very marked, especially on mental exertion. It is also found in Kali chloricum, Graphites and Kali nitricum.

Then consider the action of Petroleum on the stomach and intestines. It produces nausea and dizziness with vomiting of bile, worse in the morning, from riding in a carriage and during pregnancy. Therefore, Petroleum is also useful in seasickness.

Petroleum produces a diarrhea somewhat like that of Sulphur. The stools are smelly and watery, and often contain undigested food. They come early in the morning and are accompanied by general exhaustion of the body. They differ from Sulfur stools in that they also occur during the day. We have another diarrhoea, which is cured by Petroleum, which is diarrhea with indigestion, aggravated by the use of all cabbages, fresh and sour, etc. There are stinking stools, with much flatus, and belching with flatus that tastes like cabbage.

Petroleum is also a nerve remedy. We find it sometimes indicated in typhoid fever when it is accompanied by slight delirium. It also causes forgetfulness. The patient loses his way on well-known streets. If this symptom was caused by the influence of a great heat, then you should give Glonium.

Another mental symptom which is cured by Petroleum is this: the patient imagines herself to be double, or else it seems to her that someone else is lying beside her. This symptom was once taken advantage of in the following way. One lady during childbirth imagined that she had given birth to two babies and was very alarmed that she would have to take so much care of both of them. Petroleum cured her.

Petroleum is also used as an antidote for lead poisoning.

This is one of those substances that are used to abuse. Crude oil is used externally for rheumatism, aches, and similar problems, when relief is achieved by the appearance of a "skin, superficial disease", due to an irritating, distracting, and not homeopathic effect. In oil-bearing regions, it is widely used both for people and animals, as a "cure for all diseases."

This substance has a distracting effect, causing irritation, rashes and other disorders on the skin, similar to turpentine. In the subjects, one of the first symptoms of Petroleum was a state of lethargy and dizziness; a person is so bad at thinking that he can get lost on the street. Strange visions, as if there are people around who are not really there; that strange figures are flying in the air; that each limb is doubled; that another person is in bed with her. Such manifestations occur with fever. After giving birth, a woman feels like she has another baby in bed with her, and she worries about how she will take care of two at once. Such illusions arise in many diseases and are often encountered in practice; in typhoid fever and other serious illnesses; with severe diarrhea, lethargy occurs immediately after waking up; even in dreams there is a feeling of duality, which remains even in a semi-conscious state. The patient cannot cope with this, although if he is stirred up and brought to consciousness, he begins to understand that this is only an illusion, but in a semi-conscious state everything returns. This feeling haunts him day and night.

Skin symptoms. They are very pronounced. There is a tendency to eruption of vesicles, isolated herpetic vesicles, there is a tendency to form thick yellow crusts in place of the vesicles, with pronounced weeping. Vesicles open early. Sometimes they do not form crusts, but when opened early, they ulcerate, and the ulcer becomes phagedenic; this condition can occur on the fingers, scrotum, face and scalp. Most often, vesicles appear on the back of the neck. Papules, pustules, vesicles, dry, pityriasis-like eruptions, but most often moist; rashes that affect the skin deeply. In place of old rashes, new ones appear, making the base of the old rash even more dense. When the crust dries, it seals the edge of the rash, which forms a small ring. This seal cracks, bleeds, has a purple color. Imagine this picture in the presence of weeping rashes and rashes on the hands. This remedy is suitable for cracks in the tips of the fingers and on the back of the hands. The skin is rough, rough, peeling, cracked, bleeding; tissues are compacted; sometimes such a picture is observed on the palms and around the nails. In these places, ulcers appear that corrode the tissues and spread in breadth. All rashes are very itchy. The patient cannot stop until he has peeled off his skin, after which weeping, bleeding, soreness and inflammation occur. Itching can also occur without visible rashes. The patient scratches the skin until fluid seeps out; he scratches it further, and the skin begins to bleed, and this part of the body becomes cold. (Here I want to point out that a prominent feature of Petroleum is coldness in small spots, in stomach, abdomen, uterus; between shoulder blades; feels as if heart has become cold.) Numerous varieties of eczema. Eczema on the scalp, especially on the occiput. Herpes around the mouth (Natrum muriaticum), on the genitals, lips, face; these rashes are covered with crusts and abundantly emerging fluid.

Small ulcers appear on the mucous membranes, with thickening around the edges, which makes it possible to use Petroleum in syphilitic ulcers. Sores in the throat; aphthae in the mouth. The mucous membranes become inflamed all over the body, with watery and then thick yellow discharge. The nose is stuffed up due to swelling of the mucosa. Chronic catarrh of the nose, crusts, thick yellow discharge, offensive odor from the nose. Thickening of the mucous membrane of the nasal passages, choanae and nasopharynx, accumulation of thick mucus, especially in the morning. Then the larynx is involved in catarrh, which is accompanied by loss of voice, and then the chest; cough. The patient coughs mainly at night, while there is a general emaciation, when coughing - pain and discomfort in the chest. Dry, hacking cough, alternating with profuse expectoration; emaciation in the chest area. A striking sign of this remedy is increased cough at night and diarrhea during the day. Catarrh of the stomach and intestines, rectum, in the stool - a large amount of mucus. Diarrhea during the day, better at night when the patient is at rest. Every time eating there is pain, but gnawing hunger compels the patient to eat (Lachesis, Graphites). Every time after a bowel movement there is a feeling of sagging, hunger in the stomach, forcing the patient to eat. With diarrhea, the patient wants to eat all the time, although eating causes pain; emaciation, skin eruption, unhealthy, rough skin of the fingers, which all the time seem dirty; the patient cannot wash them; when washing, cracking is even more intensified.

Catarrh of the bladder and urethra; chronic catarrhal discharge; chronic gonorrhea. There is itching of the mucous membranes; a prominent symptom of this remedy in gonorrhea is itching of the proximal urethra, with discharge. This infuriates the patient and keeps him awake at night. He scratches and rubs his perineum to relieve itching. Gonorrhea discharge is white or yellow. The medicine helps with the "last drop" symptom. It is also effective in the early stages of gonorrhea when itching is very pronounced.

Sensation of soreness, weakness all over the body, especially in the joints. Rheumatic pain in the joints on motion; soreness when touched; feeling as if bruised. In bruises, the remedy works like Arnica.

Petroleum is indicated for old, persistent occipital headaches. People usually think of Silicea in offensive sweating of the legs and occasional pains in the occiput. Petroleum also has offensive foot sweat; offensive sweat all over the body, especially under the armpits; the smell is so strong that it is felt as soon as the patient enters the room. The pain is often limited to the occiput, but if it is very severe it extends through the vertex to the region of the eyes and to the forehead (this condition is also present in Silicea). Petroleum is not as closely related to Silicea as it is to Graphites and Carbo vegetabilis, which also contain carbon; all carbon compounds cause damage to the occiput. "Pain from occiput through entire head to forehead and eyes, with transient blindness; with stiffness; loss of consciousness." "Pain confined to the occiput, aggravated by shaking the head." This remedy, unlike Carbo vegetabilis, has a hypersensitivity of the senses, hearing, touch and smell.

The Petroleum constitution has a special kind of dizziness that occurs under certain circumstances, on board a ship, while riding in a carriage, in a car. It is suitable for occipital pain from driving or similar motion, with nausea as from seasickness. We cannot always cope with a seasickness attack, but most people after constitutional treatment come to a more stable state, so that ordinary circumstances, such as driving a car, will no longer cause them ailments. To a large extent, this condition is reduced to insufficient accommodation, a violation of the eyes; arising, for example, from a close examination of the waves diverging from the stern of the ship, or moving objects; in a dark cabin the patient feels better. If the patient has occipital pains with the vertigo described above, with a feeling of sagging in the stomach and hunger, and pains in it, forcing the patient to eat, then Petroleum will help him. The most typical manifestations of seasickness are: violent nausea, extreme pallor, cold body, profuse sweat and exhaustion, ameliorated by wind, open air, closing the eyes, rest and darkness, and aggravated by heat. In these cases, Tabacum will be the main remedy.

Petroleum has a great disturbance of vision, but the catarrh of the eyes is especially pronounced. Vesicle formation, ulceration, inflammation, redness and profuse discharge; granulations on the eyelids, thickening of the mucous membranes, cracks in the eyelids, at the corners of the eyes, with great itching. This itching is present in all congestive conditions of the mucous membranes. Damage to the Eustachian tubes. Thickening of the lining of the tubes, leading to deafness. Catarrhal inflammation with intense itching in the tube; there is no way to get to the itching place; itching deep in the ear. The patient rubs the ear and tries to scratch the itchy area, but cannot reach it. Itching in the pharynx, as well as in the external auditory canal. Ear discharge.

Thickening and inflammation of the glands and lymph nodes. Enlargement of the parotid glands in diseases of the ears; with a lesion in the region of the lower jaw, the submandibular and sublingual glands increase; they thicken and stay firm for a long time. Face pale or yellow, sickly. "Nausea all day long."

Stiffness in the back. Pain in the back when rising from a seated position.

Heat and burning. The skin is hot in places; in places with a feeling of coldness. Burning and itching of the palms and soles; burning of the face and skin of the scalp. Combined itching and burning; in those places where there is a burning sensation, there is also severe itching. The feet are burning, they feel as if they are frostbitten. Chilliness with itching, burning and purplish skin. In parts of the body frostbitten many years ago, itching, burning, stinging pain, redness and a feeling of heat remain. The patient complains of itching in the frostbitten parts of the body as they begin to thaw. Petroleum also cures itching and burning in frostbitten parts of the body, but this applies more to Agaricus. Agaricus muscaricus comes first in this case, especially where the bones are just under the skin, such as the back of the toes.

Paresis, especially on the left side. Weakness of the muscles, weakness of the lower extremities, especially the left.

Eruptions and indurations on the skin like Graphites, but in Petroleum a watery fluid oozes out at the eruption, and Graphites has a sticky, honey-like, viscid, stringy discharge. Both remedies have induration and fissures in the fingers, fissures in the skin, but only Graphites has horny, warty growths that raise the soft parts of the nails.

It has a wonderful effect in eczema of the genitals, both in men and women, rivaling Rhus toxicodendron. Eruptions on scrotum, penis, vulva. Rhus toxicodendron causes violent inflammation of the skin of the genital organs in both men and women; erysipelas; nodules, vesicles, and large blisters. Petroleum causes small vesicles with itching, stinging and burning. Herpetic eruptions that turn into erysipelas. Petroleum and Rhus toxicodendron are the main remedies for eruptions on the scrotum and genitals. “Herpetic itching, redness and weeping of the scrotum; skin cracked, rough and bleeding; the rash extends to the perineum and thighs." "Persistent dry eruptions on the genitals and perineum." "Sweating and weeping of the vulva in both sexes."

peeling of the nipples; white scales like dandruff; itching; constant peeling. If a woman has undermined her health, the nipples become inflamed, become very sensitive to the touch of clothing.

The patient is very sensitive to changes in the weather, like Phosphorus and Rhododendron; worse before a thunderstorm. Often oversensitive to air and cold. Thin, emaciated people; incipient tuberculosis. Effects of disappearance or suppression of eruptions. Hands and feet burn; I want to take them out from under the covers. Don't be too sure about Sulfur if you meet with burning in the soles, and Silicea for sweaty feet. Sweating of certain parts of the body. Eruptions in the form of spots. Itching in certain areas. Some areas are cold. Complaints related to certain parts of the body. Great stench of feet and armpits. This remedy has many unusual, striking and strange symptoms. Study the skin symptoms carefully, comparing them with those of Graphites and Sulfur.

Petroleum (according to Grangeorge)

Petroleum (skeptic)

This medicine is useful for people who do not believe in homeopathy, points out Gallawarden. We live in a society of oil. Most of our energy comes from this foul-smelling black rock oil. All plastics for our consumer goods are made from its derivatives, we breathe oil with every refueling of our car ...

So what does Materia Medica give to Petroleum as a psychic symptom? Not a very spiritual person with visual impairment. He thinks that death is near and that he must hurry to put his affairs in order. Chronic diseases resulting from mental problems: fear, resentment (Bericke, 1927).

We live in a materialistic society that has excluded human spirituality. One of our favorite expressions is “on time”, our temple is Wall Street (“wall street”, money), a dead end road. This is the exchange or life, and this inner fear of death makes people in a hurry to strive to take advantage of everything, quickly, while there is still time ...

It is very hard to wait, work to achieve the advertised benefits. How, in this environment, to believe in medicine based on infinitesimal doses? In addition to medicine, known as slow healing. The first thing to give to someone who does not believe in homeopathy is Petroleum 30CH. I use the subjunctive, since agreeing to take a dose is already somehow believing in it.

Petroleum is hard of hearing from chronic catarrh of the auditory tube. It is also an individual prone to fissured earth, aggravated in winter. In addition, frostbite, hyperacidity, nausea and vomiting are observed, aggravated in the car (Cocculus, Tabacum) or from the consumption of cabbage.

Characteristic

The petroleum that Hahnemann was testing was made by mixing commercial oil with sulfuric acid and then purifying the part that was unaffected by the sulfuric acid. It is a "light oily liquid, colorless or pale straw-colored, with a strong characteristic odor of oil.

If you drop it on white paper, it completely evaporates, leaving a greasy stain.” In the paraffin section I have described how Petrol., Naph. and Paraff. Commercial "Petroleum" and commercial "Paraffin oil" (paraffin oil) are one and the same. The pathogenesis includes the symptoms of people employed in the extraction of oil, and those who use "Paraffin oil" in various crafts, so it would be good to have a preparation from crude, crude oil as well.

Petrolatum (Vaseline) consists of hydrocarbons of the paraffin series, obtained from the residues after the distillation of lighter fractions from crude oil or from sediment during the settling of crude oil. Diseases treated with oil extracts or refined oil include: (1) diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissues, malnutrition, anemia, dyspepsia, nervous diseases, irritability, insomnia, respiratory diseases. In addition to the above, patients may develop a form of intoxication. My patient was suffering from chronic eczema, he had previously worked in a plant that used oil extensively, and noticed that he improved when working with oil.

He told me that oil vapors have a strange effect on people, causing mental disorders in some workers: a desire to kill; hallucinations; they see things that are not really visible, for example "at the station they see the rails while the train is standing on them."

The boys (who are extremely affected by the oil) jump onto a vertical wall in an attempt to climb it. A rickety boy of two and a half years old, who had an irresistible desire to drink any liquids that he could get his hands on, once drank a large sip of paraffin oil. Ipecacuanha as an emetic and castor oil as a laxative got rid of most of what was swallowed, but a month later the child was brought back to me because of poor appetite. The boy is pale, with dark circles around the eyes.

He seems to feel very weak all the time; he goes to the corner, but does not play. Cheerful after tea. Cold sweat in bed, complains of burning heat, then the body becomes cold and clammy. I gave him Phos. 2. He was brought to me after three weeks, and he felt much better. Paleness and dark circles under the eyes disappeared, the boy stopped moping, but the skin of his entire body was covered with small boils, the discharge from which had the smell of paraffin.

Two weeks later there was a slight recurrence of the old symptoms, and then I saw the child a year later when he was brought to me with diphtheria paralysis. He was brought to me again two years later. He grew up a lot, and he no longer had signs of rickets, but some of the old symptoms returned: apathy, the child was very quiet, did not want to play. From time to time there was sweat all over the body. This time I gave him Petrol. 30, which quickly led the boy to recovery.

In the case of a woman who drank paraffin oil while drunk, the pain in her stomach was so severe that she thought she would go crazy. The gastralgia was relieved when the patient lay with her legs drawn up to her stomach. She had soreness in the ileocecal region and epigastrium, a feeling of swelling, without a real increase in the abdomen; blood and albumin in the urine; back pain and the resumption of menstruation, which stopped a week earlier.

These cases show just how profound Petrol's influence is on the body. It is one of Hahnemann's leading antipsorics and is particularly closely related to graphite. Petrol is effective in long-lasting, deep, debilitating diseases, protracted diseases of the stomach and intestines, with or without mucosal ulceration. From my experience, I can say that no other remedy works so effectively in chlorosis in young girls, whether it is accompanied by a stomach ulcer or not.

According to Kent, Petrol corresponds to severe conditions that the body is unable to alleviate with a rash on the skin, or in cases where the rash disappears without bringing relief - then the disease manifests itself on the mucous membranes, provoking inflammation. Runny nose, enteritis. Sharp pain and fissures in the region of the openings where the mucous passes into the skin. Irritation of the skin and mind is also characteristic of Petrol., as of many other remedies: the patient is excitable, angry over trifles.

Anxiety and fear. Weakening of mental abilities and forgetfulness are typical, which usually occurs in patients with deep pathology. It is very characteristic of this remedy that there is another person or child in the patient's bed; these illusions have been cured by Petrol, in cases of typhus and puerperal sepsis.

"Hair loss" is also characteristic of Petrol., which explains the popularity of baldness products containing oil. The use of these baldness remedies has caused headaches of various kinds, as has the use of Coal Oil, which washerwomen add one tablespoon to a bucket of water to improve the color of the laundry.

M. T. Bleim (referring to H. W., xxvi. 318) describes the outcome of one such case: severe pain in the occiput, loss of strength, exhaustion, diarrhea, dyspepsia with a feeling of fullness in the stomach, although the patient ate very little ; flatulence; very violent attacks of suffocation, relieved by eructations of gas. Petrol's headache may be anywhere, but it is most intense in the occiput. Lead heaviness, feeling of pressure, stitching and throbbing pain, which is aggravated by shaking the head or any jar. The pain moves from the back of the head to the eye area and is often accompanied by temporary loss of vision and fainting. The dizziness and heaviness of Petrol is often accompanied by nausea and vomiting of bile. This nausea (with or without vomiting) is one of the most important characteristics of the remedy. It is aggravated by carriage or sea travel, which is why Petrol is the first remedy for motion sickness and train nausea. The reverse side of nausea is another major symptom: ravenous hunger and "lowering" of the main antipsoric remedies. They are especially pronounced immediately after defecation, in diarrhoea, nervous diseases, diseases of the spinal cord, etc. (Kent).

Recently, Petrol has gained a good reputation in lung diseases where it is used in the form of an emulsion. The leading indication for him is "chest tightness, worse from cold air." Petrol, has a characteristic cough, which is often found in young boys and girls, coming from deep in the lower chest; he often wakes up patients at night.

With Petrol. 30 (after not being helped by Arg. n. and Arg. met) I cured a student who suffered from a deep, hollow, dry cough, which was provoked by laughter, and which caused him to wake up in the middle of the night. This cough continued for quite a long time and gave his family a lot of anxiety. Petrol discharge, thick, purulent, yellowish green. Since cracks in the nostrils accompany and follow the sensation of coldness in the head, I find Vaseline applications more useful than any other ointments. The localization of Petrol's symptoms is very similar to that of Graph.: skin of the skull behind the auricles, skin of the scrotum, genitals. The modality "aggravated in winter" gave Nash a clue to several cases of eczema, fissured hands, chills, and one case of chronic diarrhea, once he discovered that the patient's hands had eczema in winter. He was assigned Petrol. 200. The skin is extremely sensitive, any clothing provokes pain, the slightest injury suppurates.

The Allen appendix contains an important case, described by O. Lassar and taken from the Virchow archive. For four days the man intensively rubbed an ointment containing Petrol. to get rid of the scabies. A week later, his legs began to swell, the edema grew rapidly and covered the entire abdomen and chest. The edema disappeared after two weeks, but recurred after eight days and did not go away until death, which occurred four months after rubbing.

The urine contained large amounts of protein, hyaline, and granular casts, but the autopsy did not reveal any organ damage that could provoke anasarca. The whole body was edematous, the patient had pulmonary edema and fluid accumulation in the cavities. During the hospital stay, the pulse at the wrist was small, weak, and not tense; the number of blood cells was reduced, but their ratio remained normal.

The temperature is normal, but there are areas of inflammation on the skin. Small cell proliferation along the veins and lymphatic vessels and in all layers of the skin. Nuclear proliferation is markedly pronounced.

Unusual symptoms: sensation as if the brain were wrapped in fog; as if everything is alive inside the head; as if head were made of wood, bruised sensation all over head ; as if a cold wind blows over the head; as if the head were about to explode; feeling of a veil before the eyes; feeling of sand in the eyes; as if the skin above the bridge of the nose did not move and was tense; as if something were coming off in the epigastric region; as if a cold stone lies on the heart; feeling of a splinter in the heel; feeling in the upper and lower limbs as if they were stiff, which does not extend to the joints; sensation as if the jaw were distended.

Significant weakness, fainting, trembling, twitching in the limbs, catalepsy, tonic spasms, left-sided paralysis are observed. Appear on the skin: itching, burning, abrasions and bleeding. There is a pronounced burning sensation, and since Petrol is responsible for many accidents resulting in burns, it is natural to assume that it will be effective as an application for the treatment of burns (in the form of vaseline, cosmoline or a mixture of equal parts of Petrol, and olive oils).

Petrol, suitable for fair-haired people with fair skin; especially lean and slender. The symptoms are aggravated by touch, even by touching clothes, scratching, riding in a carriage or on a ship. Squeezing reduces hemorrhoids. Worse after mental exertion. The headache is aggravated by shaking the head, by light and noise, but ameliorated by nose-bleeds. After defecation, hunger immediately appears. Wolfish hunger, from which the patient often wakes up at night; fast satiety, aversion to meat, fats, boiled or hot food; the patient wants only dainties, which he devours greedily. Eating relieves pain in the stomach. As soon as the stomach is empty, pain appears in it. Sensation of emptiness and weakness in the stomach.

Worse after eating or drinking. After eating: dizziness, heat in the face, pain in the abdomen, belching, drowsiness, discomfort. Cabbage and sour provoke diarrhea. The colic is relieved when the patient doubles over. Stress, movement, riding and sitting aggravate the condition. In the lying position the cough and distension of the abdomen are aggravated. Vertigo when head is low. Worse from cold, in winter, in open air, before and during thunderstorms, from bathing, warmth of bed (itching).

Better from warmth and from warm air. The cough is worse at night, at 2, 4 and 6 in the morning. Smoking causes clouding of consciousness and coughing. Worse after intercourse (nervous irritability). Cough worse from laughter (cured). Aggravation during the day (diarrhoea and dysentery). Sore throat radiating from right to left. Headache radiates from back to front.
