Strontium carbonicum as one of the dependence remedies, which also
includes Calcarea and Barium
Strontium belongs to group IIA of the Periodic Table along with
Magnesium, Calcium and Barium. It lies between Calcium and Barium. The theme of
group IIA
is the
theme of dependence.
Magnesium represents the dependence of an infant, that is, total
dependent for nutrition, security, etc.
Calcarea represents the dependence of a child, i.e. he can walk and
move, but still he needs the protective cover of the house, and he is not
willing to take up the challenges
that the environment outside his house has to offer.
Strontium represents the age of adolescence. This is the age when one
ventures out into the new, with the full knowledge that if one is faced with a
problem, one could
always come back.
What Strontium looks for is guidance, that is, an experienced person’s
help to chart out the unknown, someone to rely on if there is a problem. The
relationship with this
guide is the most important thing in his life, and there can be problems
if such a person is missing or guides in excess. New tasks like learning to
drive a car or starting a
profession, are anxious moments for Strontium carbonicum and he needs
the encouragement and support of an experienced person.
In comparison, Bar-c. for the next age, that is adulthood, where one has
to take up the complete responsibility without anyone behind. In such a
situation, the Bar-c.
experiences a sense of incapacity and of complete dependence.

Generals
Particulars
Head to Skin (Hahnemannian
schema)
Relations
The remedies are presented
through three divisions- ‘Generals’, ‘Particulars’
and ‘Remedy Relations’.
The remedy begins with ‘Monogram’.
The monogram is a remedy’s signature. It is for adorning the esteem of a
remedy. It unifies the essential threads and renders the fabric of the remedy. The
monogram is something that represents or stands for something else by
association, resemblance or convention and it also represents something hidden.
The monogram is the center from which we can enter into the periphery.
The study of a remedy
through monogram is a more specific way to describe the general manner in which
the symptoms express themselves. This is the mode where the procedure itself
takes place. The boxed type is like the dot on the forehead of our ladies. It
bestows an impression, not just on impresser.
It conveys precisely and
concisely what a drug fundamentally is! It is like a genetic code of an
individual that contain its unique information and will display its
characteristic pattern in the form of behaviour! It is like
nucleus/essence/core/kernel/central idea which encompasses disturbances at
mental, emotional and physical levels.
The study of monogram
conforms to the concept of pathological general (Boger), but we have included
pattern, pace and miasmatic activity too. Thus, it helps to see mental,
emotional and pathological layers in integration and how mind and pathology run
parallel in a case. In other words, psycho-clinico-patho-miasmatic co-relations
can be constructed and perceived well with the concept of monogram.
Then the authors begin with
Boger’s pattern of ‘Region Worse Better.” The Region
section brings up the locations like – glands, bones, nerves, muscles, mucous
membranes, sides, etc. which are the anatomical affinities of the remedy. Note
that side is given at the end of Region. This facilitates quick reference.
The authors have tried to
present anatomical localities in a hierarchical way. The Worse and Better
section gives both general and particular modalities, the way in which the
system reacts to the variable stimuli. After learning the Region, these
are the codes on which the existence, the whole procedure is directed upon.
In order that this pattern
should facilitate understanding of the remedy, the modalities are organized
under sub-headings of Weather, Periodicity, Depressing factors, Depleting factors,
Toxins, etc. This pattern could be called as an ‘expanded Boger’ and could be
utilized as a direct prescriber in clinical practice.
A wide field of modalities
is provided as the authors want to make the vision of our readers broader. To
illustrate, we all know that Bryonia has < from least motion. But
it is not only least motion < but many more modalities about motion <,
that have been provided; we have highlighted motion > too under ‘Better’
section.
Highlights depict the ‘account’ of what a
remedy has to offer in terms of essence. A terse selection has been offered
here to emphasize the outstanding characters at many levels of keynotes, key
themes, patterns, personality etc.
So far as Action
is concerned, the authors have presented it in a chronological sequence. Taking
the help of all the symptoms of a remedy as known to us through proving,
clinical verification and toxicology, the action of a drug is explained as it
will help perceive the direction of the disease progression. We hope that
readers will learn more about the remedy after pondering over the introductory
part.
The authors have snatched
as many typological, physiognomic, psychological and other types – the
constitutional peculiarities- as possible under ‘Make-up.’
Our drugs possess varied types than hitherto known! Dispositional characters
are missing in our drugs in a major way. The readers will find them amply not
only in polychrests but also in less used remedies. The authors have evolved
dispositions after logical workout of the data and with their clinical
experience.
Under ‘Nerves’
section the authors have cast Weakness, Universal commotion, Spasms,
Convulsions, Pains, Numbness, Paralysis, Degeneration
etc. The scattered data here and there in the proving and then evolved under
time continuum, has been coherently compiled under sub-headings. This will
facilitate easy reference to a remedy in clinical practice.
The same holds true to ‘Tissues’
Section. Pre-disposition, Tendencies, Diathesis etc. are
mentioned while giving the pathogenetic action of the remedy. Sub-headings here
are Blood, Bones, Muscles, Glands, Growths, Emaciation, Discharges,
Dropsy, Nails, Cancer, etc. Under
sub-headings, relevant information has been incorporated.
The division into General
and Particulars, into Nerves and Tissues, allows the reader to look into
specific information within a few seconds. To illustrate: if a reader wants to
refer to pains of Agar. opening of ‘Nerves’ section will yield the
relevant information in terms of type, modalities, characteristics, location
and concomitants. Or, if a reader wants to know the action of Puls. on
‘Blood,’ open ‘Tissues’ section and he will get the relevant information. This
information can be used for discrimination between several remedies.
The important data about ‘Mind’
has been given in the general section. The authors have focused on
dispositional characters/temperamental characters which have been mentioned
under ‘Make-up’ and ‘Mind’. Here progressive state of the mind is presented.
The comparison between many remedies has been given too. The authors have
avoided giving stories and expansive personality portraits of remedies in this
MM.
After the ‘generals’
are over, the authors request the readers to take a ride into the area of ‘Particulars.’
Hahnemannian schema of ‘Head à Foot’ is the best method of fathom the action of
the remedy on each particular organ. Here the authors have given the
therapeutic information from practical standpoint under the heading ‘Particulars’.
It covers characteristic symptoms, clinical tips and related remedies. The
information has been provided under some headings and an orderly paragraphing
has been done so that the reader receives the integrated information at one
stroke. An attempt has been made to reduce the gap between MM and therapeutic
book through this unique format.
Then follows the ‘Thermal
state’ of the remedy that covers chill, heat, sweat, types of fevers
and concomitants with characteristics. Here the authors have given many
clinical conditions and tips.
The section on ‘Relations’
is quite interesting. It provides useful and new information logically deduced
from ‘differential Materia medica’. Readers will enjoy going through the myriad
of relations. Discrimination between remedies is an essential part of the study
of the Materia medica and hence a lot of new relations have been formulated to
perceive the functionality of our remedies and to use the remedies in different
stages of the diseases and stages of life in individuals.
‘Relations’ section acts as
a fast-track path towards utilizing the remedies successfully in clinical
practice. Every case passes through evolution and is characterized by phases,
transitions and stages and a physician has to respect them as and when they
demand the simile force. If the reader goes through the remedies like Agaricus.,
Baptasia., Bryonia., Pulsatilla, Pyrogen, etc., he will understand the
kind of work presumed to him. This section has a suggestive value too, based on
experience and interpretation of the remedial function. Although statements
under relationship are not solid facts, incontrovertible as of ‘proving,’ a
serious student will find justification of every statement and will enjoy the
functionality of the remedy.
