The action of Platina can be titled under three headings namely, on mind, on nervous system and its action on sexual organs. Let’s compare how Platina competes with other remedies in these three spheres and proves itself not only as noble metal but also as a ‘noble remedy’.

Mind:
      Pride and over estimation of one’s self looking down with haughtiness on others, changing moods gay and sad alternately. The symptoms of “‘Changing of Mood, gay and sad alternatively’ also seen in Ignatia. But it is a remedy of parradoxicalities, its complaints arises due to long lasting grief and it’s a sighing remedy.

      “Fear of death” another mental symptom which calls the other remedies for comparison Aconite and Arsenicum Album. In case of Aconite, the exact time of death is predicted whereas in Platina she thinks that death is near at hand and she fears it. Arsenicum Album is the other remedy, which has ‘Fear of Death’. Arsenicum has fear of disease and death. The patient is sure that the disease would kill him and there is no use of taking any medicines.

Nervous system
      The pain in platina increases gradually and gradually decreases. Pain attended with numbness of parts. Prosopalgia with numb feeling in malar bones as if the parts were between screws .In Stannum metallicum pain increases gradually and gradually decreases as of the noble metal. But the platina patient is not characteristically so weak as Stannum. Both Belladonna and Platina has congestion of head with bright red face & delirium. In case of Belladonna pain comes suddenly and goes suddenly and very violent in nature. Verbascum is indicated in prosopalgia when there is numbness and crushing as with tongs in the painful parts. < talking, change of temperature, 9 AM – 4 PM


Sexual system
      Genitals are excessively sensitive, vaginismus cannot bear to be touched, almost faints during intercourse, nymphomania. Menses too early, too profuse, dark clotted blood. Indurated & prolapsed uterus. Continual pressure in the groins and back.Caladium is also a remedy for nymphomania, when occurs as the result of worms escaping into vagina and there is exciting irritation.

      Crocus and Chamomilla are similar in menstrual discharges of Platina in dark or black clotted flow. But it differs from Platina in the sensation that something alive is moving around in abdomen. Chamomilla differs from Platina in its mental symptoms as it is an ‘anger remedy’ and the patient is cross, ugly, spiteful, snappish.

      This washer women’s remedy Sepia can be compared with ‘down looking lady’ in case of indurated & prolapsed uterus with great bearing down sensation. The differentiating picture is that the sepia lady must sit close and cross her legs to keep something from coming down out of vagina.
