cupr.PolychrestMineralCommonPsoric

🎯 It acts primarily on the nervous system to produce violent spasmodic affections, cramps, and convulsions.

📖 Boericke writes:

Spasmodic affections, cramps, convulsions, beginning in fingers and toes, violent, contractive, and intermittent pain, are some of the more marked expressions of the action of Cuprum; and its curative range therefore includes tonic and clonic spasms, convulsions, and epileptic attacks. Chorea brought on by fright. Nausea greater than in any other remedy. In epilepsy, aura begins at knees, ascends to hypogastrium; then unconsciousness, foaming, and falling. Symptoms disposed to appear periodically and in groups. Complaints begin in left side (Laches). Tape worm (colloidal Cuprum 3x).

Where eruptions trike in, as in scarlet fever, complaints may result, such as excessive vomiting, stupor, convulsions, which come within the sphere of this remedy. The pains are increased by movement and touch.

👤 Constitution

•Individuals who are often malicious, morose, or fearful, with a tendency toward periodic, group-like symptoms that often start on the left side.
