Glonoine 345 GLONOINE (Nitro Glycerine) Glonoine is also one of those remedies that, like Drosera, have been considered to be effective against only a few diseases although a great deal of benefit can be gained from it. Glonoine is trinitroglycerine. It contains hydrogen and oxygen elements and is a powerful explosive and combustible material. The formula of this compound was first invented by a scientist named Nobël. At that time, it was considered to be a very revolutionary invention. Although later on plastic and nuclear bombs etc. were also invented, the use of nitroglycerine has never been abandoned completely. In fact, it has been shifted more towards everyday use. Nitroglycerine is also used in medicine. It is used either as such or in some other form for the treatment of angina. Glonoine also affects the human temperament. Sunlight makes one feel unwell. Just as nitro- glycerine is sensitive to heat, similarly, a patient cannot tolerate heat and the result is a splitting headache. One feels as if he is being hammered all over the head, or as if the head is exploding. Glonoine is a first class medicine for the prevention of heat stroke. It can also be used for the treatment of high blood pressure, but only when other signs of Glonoine are also present in the patient. The homoeopathic doctors often use Glonoine for the treatment of patients suffering from heat stroke and blood pressure. I have prepared a prescription for prevention against heat strokes i. e. one dose of Glonoine, Natrum Mur and Arsenic combined in potency 30, taken before leaving the house. By the grace of God, this will protect a person from headache the whole day. However, once the headache sets in, it is difficult to stop it. The symptoms of Glonoine include a splitting headache , which starts as soon as the head is rested on a pillow. There is a feeling of heaviness over the heart. There is sudden rush of blood towards the head or the heart, and the patient feels a kind of fluid passing through the body. The tendency of the rush of blood to the head originates either from the heart or the stomach.
