Chenopodium 248 from sudden vertigo. The inborn tendency to develop vertigo is also a symptom of Chenopodium. This condition is called Meniere’s disease. In this disease, there is repeated vertigo associated with severe vomiting. Chenopodium is also effective in treating lethargy, insensitivity, unconsciousness, partial paralysis of the nerves, and in the enlargement of the tonsils and neck glands. The Chenopodium patient suffers from severe pain in the backbone that spreads out over the shoulders and chest. Urination is very frequent, the urine being yellowish in colour and frothy. There is an associated tingling sensation at the urethra. Yellowish material deposits on the walls of the container. This sign is also present in Chelidonium. Some doctors have prescribed Chenopodium for the treatment of roundworms and hookworm infestation. When Chenopodium oil is given in repeated small doses, after some time the patient becomes free of these worms. I however, have not practised using Chenopodium for this purpose. Potency: Chenopodium is usually used in potency 3 but I have found it very useful in potency 30. For worms, Chenopodium oil is given 10 drops every two to three hours.
