Ebur africanum (= dens Elephas/= Elfenbein)
Kann nicht vergessen und vergeben - weder anderen noch sich selbst. Er ist ein stiller Beobachter, dünnhäutig und leicht verletzlich, seine 'Stinkwut' und andere Gefühle zeigt er aber nicht. Er merkt sich seinen Peiniger und irgendwann, zu einem unvermuteten Zeitpunkt, erfolgt die Rache. Im Traum folgt Elephas 'dem Weg des Blutes.' Von seinen Beschwerden sagt er, dass sie sich 'wie ein roter Faden' durch sein Leben ziehen. Die Wunden von Elephas heilen schlecht und bluten lange; bewährt ist die Arznei bei langem Nachbluten nach einer Zahnextraktion.
Elephas hat immer wieder Nasenbluten und bekommt leicht blaue Flecke. Die Farbe Rot, die ihn an Blut erinnert, kann Elephas nicht ausstehen. Rache und unheilsam blutende Wunden: Das sind auch
2 Kernelemente von Nit-ac. doch Elephas ist viel warmherziger und zerrissen zwischen Vergeltungsimpuls und ehrlicher Versöhnungsbemühung. Er quält sich voller Reue und Selbstvorwürfe und kann sich nicht verzeihen, wie viel Porzellan er in Beziehungen zu geliebten Menschen durch Fehlverhalten zerschlagen hat. Immer wieder plagt ihn die Angst, andere verletzt zu haben. In Wut schmeißt er Dinge durch die Gegend und steht sich selbst im Weg. Er kommt sich vor wie in einer Sackgasse; mit dem Auto im Stau zu stehen hält er nicht aus. Das Gefühl von Familienverbund ist stark, ein Elephas-Kind
'hängt' regelrecht an einem Lieblingsgeschwister oder einer Lieblingstante.
Elephas-Erwachsene kommen nicht von den Beziehungen der Vergangenheit los. Die Erinnerung an eine Abtreibung ist mit den Bildern von Blutklumpen und vielen Schuldgefühlen über Vergangenes verknüpft.
Elephas hat ziemliche Höhenangst, vor allem seine Angst, von einer Brücke ins Wasser zu fallen oder vom 3-Meter-Brett ins Schwimmbecken zu springen, fällt auf. Er träumt von einer Flutwelle und die Tochter fiele ins Wasser. Elephas badet aber gerne ausgiebig, er ist beweglich und macht gern einen Kopfstand.
Elephas liebt alles Große, große Tiere wie Elefanten, Büffel und Wale. Bei den Pflanzen haben es ihm große, starke Bäume wie Eichen angetan. Wie Quercus hängt Elephas an der Vergangenheit.
Als kleinkarierter Sammler kann er selbst das Spielzeug aus seiner Kindheit nicht zum Sperrmüll bringen. Beim Öffnen alter, staubiger Akten überkommt ihn Niesreiz. Die Nase ist chronisch verstopft durch
hypertrophierende Polypen, die selbst durch Dauerkortison und verstümmelnde Operationen nicht im Zaum gehalten werden können. Alter Schleim läuft den Rachen hinab.
Elephas hat eine Abneigung gegen Fleisch und Wurst; stattdessen isst er große Mengen rohe, vegetarische Kost; der Stuhl ist reichlich und enthält unverdaute Nahrungspartikel. Abends schlägt
er sich den Bauch voll und schläft dann schlecht. Schon die Milchzähne von Elephas sind kariös. Er knirscht mit den Zähnen und beißt sich in etwas fest; er träumt, er verliert einen Zahn.
Elephas leidet unter Zahnnervenreizung (<? durch Wärme oder Kälte) und 'bleistiftförmigen' Gesichtsneuralgien mit einschießenden Schmerzen. Die Haut juckt und zwingt zum Kratzen, bis es roh ist. Nicht unerwähnt bleiben soll, dass Elephas vom ehemaligen Bundesaußenminister Hans-Dietrich Genscher geträumt hat.

Why a proving of Loxodonta africana?:
Provings are unique to homoeopathy and are essential in the practice of
medicine in assisting with the understanding of the action of a particular
remedy and its potential uses (O’Reilly, 1996:144). Thus investigation into
the potential use of a wide range of substances is fundamental in expanding the
repertoire of homoeopathic remedies that are available. Though many remedies
already exist there is still so much potential for the development of new
remedies produced from new substances. These newly proven remedies could be
used in cases where previously partial or less closely indicated remedies have
been used in treatment, and could potentially produce a cure due to it being
more similar than the original remedy that was used (O‟Reilly, 1996:162).
Thus the accurate and articulate experimentation into the curative effects of
new substances is essential to the success of homoeopathy and without new
provings homoeopathy would stagnate (Sherr, 1994:8). It has been noted by Sherr,
that the most significant and appropriate medicine will be found within our
surrounding environment (Sherr, 1994:49). Currently within South Africa only a
few potential substances that are accessible to us have been proven, thus the
majority of the homoeopathic remedies that are available are derived from
exotic sources. Though, recently a number of provings of native substances have
been undertaken including Sutherlandia frutescens (Cancer bush)(Webster, 2002),
Naja mossambica mossambica (Mozambique spitting cobra) (Smal, 2004) and Bitis
arietans arietans (Puffadder)(Wright, 1999). Ivory from the African elephant
(Loxodonta africana) was chosen as the substance to be used in this particular
proving due to the lack of mammal remedies besides the milks (e.g. Lac
leoninum, Lac Loxodonta africana) and the significance of the animal being the
largest land mammal in the world as well as being native to Africa.
[Nancy Herrick]: Lac Loxodonta africana, milk of an African elephant. A
variety of themes: homelessness, brutality, violence, murder and not enough
food that reflected the conditions of living that the elephant experienced.
A more natural state was also noted with themes and interests in air,
water, food, feeding others and a feeling of positive emotions, timelessness
and theorizing about the substance.
Ivory trade: been banned since 1989, fortunately due to the nature of
the preparation of a homoeopathic remedy only minute quantities will be
required to produce a life time supply of the remedy thus has an insignificant
impact on possible illegal trade in ivory.
Lineage: Loxodonta africana belongs to the order Proboscidea. The
earliest known ancestor of Proboscidea was a small pig-like creature named
Moeritherium. This creature inhabited northern Africa 50 million years ago.
Moeritherium was significantly smaller than the elephant today only having a
shoulder height of 0.6 m, and also lacked the trunk that is so significant to
the elephant today. The teeth and skull were however very similar.
A variety of forms, each adapting to the diverse habitats, arose from
the Moeritherium, and has been classified into five families, namely the
Moeritheridae, the Gomphotheridae, the Mastodontidae, the Dinotheridae, the
Elephantidea. Only one still exists, the Elephantidea, the remainders are all
extinct. The family Elephantidea consists of modern elephants and two species
of Mammoths namely the Imperial Mammoth (Mammuthus imperator) and the Woolly
Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius), both extinct. The only two remaining species
of the family are the Indian elephant (Elephas maximus) and the African
elephant (Loxodonta africana). There are two sub-species of the African
elephant, the most common the savanna or bush elephant Loxodonta africana and
the more elusive forest elephant Loxodonta africana cyclotis (Skinner and
Smithers,1990:545). The substance of this proving was obtained from the savanna
elephant (Loxodonta africana).
The adult African elephant (Loxodonta africana) is the largest of all
land mammals weighing up to 7000 kg, but averaging 5750kg in males and 3800kg
in females (Frandsen,1992:128). At birth the elephant averages 120kg and has an
average shoulder height of 90cm (Skinner and Smithers,1990:552).
The African elephant (Loxodonta africana) has an average shoulder height
of 3 meters. The life expectancy can range from 55 to 70 years
(Walker,1992:117). The elephant has an extremely thick skin and may reach 30mm
to 40mm in areas such as the legs, trunk and back. The skin is grey or
brownish-grey and is creased and folded giving it a gnarled appearance, and
contains no sweat glands. The body may be sparsely covered by bristly hairs
especially in juveniles. The tail, being up to 1.5m long, is tipped and fringed
by many long, black, bristly hairs (Skinner and Smithers,1990:546). The
elephant has large flat feet that average 50cm long. The fore foot is larger
than the hind foot and has five nails as apposed to the hind foot which has
only four nails. The feet have a thick layer of cartilage, which act as a shock
absorber, enabling them to move without making a sound (Skinner and
Smithers,1990:545). The trunk is an extremely dexterous organ, and has
prehensile tips on both upper and lower sides (Skinner and Smithers,1990:546).
The ears are extremely large reaching a height of 2m and breadth of 1,2m and
can weigh up to 20kg but can constitute 20% of the elephant’s surface area.
This is because the ears are a vital organ for thermoregulation, and have an
extensive vascular system that give out approximately ¾ of the heat loss
required to maintain body temperature (Skinner and Smithers,1990:546).
The eyes are relatively small and usually green or hazel in color. The
elephant has no tear ducts so tears run down the cheeks (Skinner and
Smithers,1990:546). The mouth is small and spout shaped, situated under the
trunk (Skinner and Smithers,1990:546).
The male’s testes remain within the body cavity. Females have a single
pair of mammae situated between the forelegs and thus give distinguishing
features to help differentiate the sexes in post pubertal animals (Skinner and
Smithers,1990:545). Another feature that assists in discerning male elephants
from females is the forehead and back. The female tends to have a slightly more
angular and prominent forehead and a straighter back (Frandsen,1992:128).
Elephants have temporal glands on both sides of the head, with the external
orifices midway between the outer canthus of the eye and the external auditory
meatus. This gland releases a secretion seen as a dark mark down the face usually
due to stress or during musth (Skinner and Smithers,1990:545). The tusks are
elongated upper incisors and differ according to age, sex and nutritional
status of the animal, though males generally have larger tusks (Skinner and
Smithers,1990:545). Elephants only have six pairs of molars, with two in use at
a time.
Over time the molars are worn and splinted away by chewing. The pair
that is worn will be replaced by the next set which are longer and wider.
Finally when all six teeth on each side have been worn away, the elephant has
reached old age and will die due to lack of nutrition (Frandsen,1992:128).
Loxodonta africana found within two major extremes of habitats - from
semi-arid desert to higher rainfall areas and dense forests
(Frandsen,1992:128). What is critical though is an adequate supply of fresh
water and food as elephants consistently require approximately 170 kg of green
food and as much as 160 liters of water daily (Skinner and Smithers,1990:551).
Thus elephants of the more arid regions have been noted to travel vast
distances to locate an adequate food source covering distances of up to 200km
and home ranges as big as 3000km² (Apps,1994:117), and feed up to 74% of the
day to obtain sufficient quantities of food (Skinner and Smithers,1990:551).
Loxodonta africana form herds of 10 - 20 individuals but may be as high
as 50 individuals. Elephants have a highly developed social structure and
family units are led by a matriarch, the most experienced cow elephant in the
herd. The majority of the herd is made up of cows the remainder pre-pubescent
bulls. Once reaching puberty at about 10 - 12 years, the bulls will leave the
family unit or will be driven out by the older cows (Walker,1992:117). The
older bulls will only join the herd when the cows are in estrus, and leave
again after mating. The bull elephants will sometimes form small, unstable
bachelor groups, usually one older male with two or three younger males
(Apps,1994:117). Elephants are not territorial but will occupy home ranges,
moving within the area depending on seasons and availability of food. Due to
the great volumes of water that is required the elephant will go to a water
site at least once a day. The water and mud pools also provide wallowing sites
to cool down and coat the skin in mud which gives it protection from parasites.
Elephants are also known for dust baths which like the mud also assists in
protecting the skin from parasites. Elephant are also surprisingly good
swimmers using their trunks as snorkels, and have been seen in the middle of
Lake Kariba swimming for up to 27 hours (Apps,1994:117).
The elephant will spend the majority of the day feeding on a variety of
grasses and trees. Due to their primitive digestive system the elephant
requires up to 170 kg of green food as only 40% of what they eat will be
digested (Skinner and Smithers,990:551). Using the trunk to pull at branches,
trees are often destroyed in an attempt to get to the leaves that are out of
reach (Apps,1994:117).
The elephant’s trunk is a significant organ with amazing dexterity and
power, used to pick up a single seed pod or tear down trees. During drinking,
the elephant will draw water into the trunk and then empty it down the throat,
in a similar fashion the elephant can suck up dust for a dust bath. The trunk
is also an important sense organ used for communication through touch and smell
(Apps,1994:117). The tusks are used for digging for roots and water, for
chiseling bark off trees and as weapons of defense against predators and
competitors. The tusks continue to grow throughout life to compensate for the
constant wear and tear to which they are exposed (Apps,1994:118).
The elephant can often be seen flapping its ears, this is to assist in
cooling the elephant due to the complex network of blood vessels in the ear
(Apps,1994:117). Generally the elephant is a placid animal but may become
aggressive if sick, injured or harassed. Male elephants can also be a lot more
temperamental during musth. When threatened the elephant may charge, but two
distinctive features have been noted. The first is the mock charge, were the
elephant wishes to assert itself or show dominance. This display is done with
the trunk in the air, ears flapping and loud trumpeting. If however the
elephant
is intent on confronting they will charge with the trunk hanging, ears
laid flat and in absolute silence. At top speed the elephant can reach 40 km/h
(Frandsen,1992:128). The elephant has a highly developed social structure. If
any animal is sick or injured the group will stay with that animal to defend
and support it. The calves are well looked after getting help from all members
of the group where needed, helping to climb banks or pulling from the mud. If a
member of the group dies the herd will often stay with the body for hours
after, and even come back days down the line (Apps,1994:122).
Elephants communicate through touch, scent, sight and sound. The low
frequency calls can carry for at least 2km, but is below the range of human
hearing. Unique scents are released through the temporal gland secretions and
are thought to help with recognition of each other and their emotional state.
Touch is also a very important part of the elephant’s communication and
elephants can often be seen caressing each other with their trunks
(Apps,1994:122). While the females are in estrus the bulls older than 35 years,
will guard and mate with a female at the most favorable time for conception.
Mating takes place approximately every 8 hours, and is received with excitement
throughout the female’s social group. The younger males between 25 and 35 years
will mate with the estrus females but only early and late in the period where
conception is less likely. Males less than 25 years are unable to compete for
access to the females in estrus (Apps,1994:122). The elephant has a gestation
period of 22 months, and will give birth to one or rarely two calves
(Walker,1992:117). The female squats to give birth to protect the calf from
injury. The calf will begin to nurse within a few hours, using the mouth and
not trunk, and continue to suckle for two to three years. If in event of the
mother dying the other females in the group will take over the role of suckling
and nurturing of the orphaned calf (Apps,1994:122). 2.2.2.5 Musth: Musth occurs
in male elephants older than 25 years, and occurs due to a surge in
testosterone. Initially musth will only last a few days but gradually gets
longer as the elephant gets older.
At 30 years musth will last up to 3 months, and as long as 7 months in
males of 45 years. After this age the musth period will gradually reduce again
(Apps,1994:120).
During musth the elephant’s temporal glands swell secreting a sticky
fluid that stains the sides of the face. The elephant will massage the gland
with his trunk and rub against trees. Uncharacteristically urine will be
continually dribbled from the sheathed penis. The urine stains the penis a
green color and has a powerful odour. The musth elephant walks with the head
high and chin tucked in, the ears are tensed and spread and the head swings in
time with the pacing. The musth bull becomes very aggressive during this period
and will challenge other elephants at any stage. A non-musth bull will never
challenge a musth bull, but always retreat. On the other hand when two musth
bulls meet the two will battle in a test of strength and motivation, giving a
true indication of an elephant bull’s status.
The vanquished bull will return to ordinary condition once defeated. A
musth bull will cover vast distances in search of sexually receptive cows. When
a mate has been found the musth bull will guard the cow from other males
(Apps,1994:120). 2.2.3 The composition of ivory:
When ivory is examined in a transverse section it reveals wavy line of
different shapes. These wavy lines are formed by exceedingly minute tubular
structures assembled together in concentric rows.
The smallest rows are immeasurably fine, while the largest average
1-1000 of an inch. These tubes serve to render the entire tissue exceptionally
tough and elastic (Kunz, 2007). The bulk of the tusk consists of dentine which
is ensheathed by a layer of cementum (Sikes,1971:45).
According to Raubenheimer ivory is composed of both organic and
inorganic compounds (Raubenheimer, 1998:641). Raubenheimer conducted research
on the geographical variations in the composition of ivory from the African
elephant (Raubenheimer, 1998:641). For the purpose of this research
dissertation the composition of ivory taken from samples of elephants resident
in the Kruger National Park was used as an indication of the composition of the
ivory used in the production of the remedy. Exists of: C, N, Sr, Ca, P,
Mg, F. Other trace elements: As, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Pb, Mn, hydroxyproline, Ni,
Fe, Zn, Mo and Al. In the analyses of the organic fraction 17 amino acids were
identified. Traditional use in Chinese medicine: as an aphrodisiac. The demand
in ivory is more prevalent in the manufacturing of crafts and not considered to
have any medicinal value in allopathic medicinal practices (Barbier, 1990).
[Sigrid Häse]
Elephas, das Elfenbein, ist ein blutiges, rachdurstiges Mittel, und bei diesem Mittel muss ich sofort an die vom Islam geforderte Blutrache und Ehrenmorde denken. Auge um Auge, Zahn um Zahn. Innerlich zerrissen von Vergeltungsgefühlen und echtem Wunsch nach Versöhnung.
Genauso wenig, wie der Elephas Patient anderen Fehler verzeihen kann, kann er sich selbst vergeben. Selbstvorwürfe, Reue und die Erkenntnis eigener Schuld quälen ihn. Elephas hat ein Elefantengedächtnis für alle emotionalen Vergehen, die von anderen und die von ihm selber.
Familie geht ihm über alles, für die Familie opfert er sich auf, wer ein Familienmitglied angreift, greift ihn persönlich an. Vergangenheit nimmt einen großen, zu großen Raum, ein und lässt Freuden der Gegenwart und Visionen für die Zukunft gar nicht zu. Körperliche Beschwerden sind blaue Flecke, Blutungen aller Art, chronisch vergrößerte Polypen mit ständig verstopfter Nase, kariöse Zähne schon als Kind, Gesichtsneuralgien, blutig gekratzte Haut und Verlangen nach vegetarischer Kost.
Elephas liebt große und starke Tiere, hat Höhenangst.
