Homoeopathic mode of action: Homoeopathy is a system of medicine, built on the philosophy that the body has an innate ability to heal itself and should be allowed to do so. Homoeopathic medicines work energetically to stimulate the body’s innate ability to heal by promoting or supporting the functioning of various organ systems. It works according to the principle of ‘likes cure like’ such that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person, can be used to treat similar symptoms in a sick person. Over the last 300 years, observations, experiments, homoeopathic provings and clinical experience have resulted in the collection of symptoms associated with particular remedies which are recorded in traditional homoeopathic materia medica. This medicine has been compiled based on an in-depth knowledge of the tradition and application of homoeopathy. The relevant symptoms from the composite remedy pictures are as follows: Ammonium bromatum treats chronic laryngeal and pharyngeal catarrh with burning throat pain. Atropa belladonna has an anti-inflammatory effect and relieves tonsillitis of sudden, acute onset with raw, red, hot, burning sore throat and enlarged tonsils. Calcarea iodata treats enlarged glands and tonsils. Echinacea angustifolia has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral properties. It acts on the immune system to treat septic, ulcerated throat with dark discolouration of the tonsils and helps prevent recurrent re-infections. Hepar sulphuris calcareum acts on the lymphatic system to treat glandular swelling, suppurating tonsils and relieve pain when swallowing. Lachesis mutus acts on septic states and clears sticky mucus from the throat with purple discolouration of the tonsils and pains extending towards the ears. Mentholum has an anti-inflammatory action on the mucous membrane of the nasopharynx helping alleviate pharyngitis, laryngitis, acute nasal catarrh, coryza and post nasal drip. Mercurius cyanatus treats inflamed tissue associated with enlarged tonsils, burning pain, loss of voice and an ulcerated throat. Indications: This is a homoeopathic medicine which assists in soothing the respiratory mucosa and supporting the function of the lymphatic system for treatment of localized inflammatory conditions of the upper respiratory tract.
