Rhus Tox 597 In Rhus Tox, the eczema is of the weeping type. Once an afflicted lady came to me. She suffered from severe weeping eczema. She was even unable to cook food. Her husband and children were also dismayed. I treated her with Rhus Tox 1000. With the first dose, the eczema flared up and then in a few days, the watery discharge started becoming less. On the second dose, after a week, the reaction was less pronounced. In three to four weeks, her hands were looking completely healthy, devoid of any signs of eczema. In my experience, I have found it surprisingly effective and beneficial. To my knowledge, there is no substitute for Rhus Tox. If the symptoms are of Rhus Tox, then Rhus Tox and nothing else will have to be administered. Rhus Tox symptoms are very closely related to humidity. In the rainy season, when it is also hot, its symptoms become aggravated. Rhus Tox is also very useful in the treatment of malarial fever. It becomes even more effective if used alternately with Bryonia right at the onset of symptoms. Prevantative use of Arnica 1000 will induce the natural body response against malaria. I invite the readers to study Arnica, Arsenic and Natrum Mur also, with reference to malaria. Rhus Tox is also useful in the treatment of fevers other than malaria such as fevers of remittent nature or continuous ones. Such fevers make the patient physically exhausted. The patient feels restless, chills and dryness of the tongue. He is sensitive to cold. The pivotal symptom, is still the persistent restlessness and aching of the entire body Rhus Tox is very useful in the treatment of cellulitis. This inflammatory process involves the glands, the outer surface of the skin and the inner linings (mucous membranes). The patient feels pain and tightness. Rhus Tox should also be used in the treatment of endometritis i. e. the inflammation of the inner lining of the uterus. It may possibly treat the underlying condition of the uterus and surface it to the skin. Sulphur 200 and Pyrogenium 200 can significantly overcome the disease. When given alternately with Rhus Tox, they offer complete cure, by the grace of God. Rhus Tox can be useful in the treatment of all skin conditions associated with the formation of blisters filled with clear fluid, blood or even pus, provided the burning sensation is prominent.
