Sabina 611 SABINA (Savine) Sabina is frequently used in the diseases of the women. Except for the menstrual symptoms, its overall picture resembles Pulsatilla. Its symptoms aggravate from heat. In Pulsatilla, the menstrual bleeding is scanty and interrupted while in Sabina it is excessive. The bleeding tendency is not limited to the uterus. The nose and kidneys can also bleed. Sabina is very useful in the treatment of excessive menstrual bleeding along with the generalized tendency to bleed. The patient is prone to abort in the third month of pregnancy. Sometimes, the women develop small knots (cysts or tumours) in the ovaries, barring pregnancy. In this condition, Sabina helps to cure the cysts of the ovaries and also promotes conception. Sabina is also useful in the treatment of bleeding piles. It is also very beneficial in the treatment of kidneys becoming painfully inflamed, associated with the passage of blood in the urine. Thus, it resembles Pareira Brava. In Sabina, the kidneys are inflamed all over, causing constant localised pain (not colicky). In Pareira Brava, the pain radiates downwards along the ureter into the bladder. The stones from the kidneys may get lodged in the urinary bladder. In Sabina, the patient has a constant urge to pass urine. The act of urination does not relieve the urge however. The quantity of urine passed is scant as in Cantharis. Sabina is certainly indicated and useful, in the treatment of discharges resembling gonorrhoeal diseases in both sexes. Even if there is no active gonorrhoea and the patient is apparently well; if the discharge resembles that of gonorrhoea, Sabina will be very effective. In Sabina, the patient may experience labour-like pains, even in the absence of pregnancy. The uterus contracts and bears down as in labour. This pain results in the loss of pregnancy (abortion/miscarriage). Another symptom of Sabina is prolonged excessive menstrual bleeding , so much so that the period-free gap may be very short. The colour of the blood is bright red. The patient becomes anaemic due to excessive loss of blood. The blood obviously becomes of light colour due to dilution.
