    Homoeopathy has for the last 100 years employed the deadliest poisons with a maximum of success. Medorrhinum was introduced as a Homoeopathic medicine 100 years ago, by Dr. Swan, USA, the great pioneer in the use of disease products for the prevention and cure of disease. It is the sterilized and potentised product of one of those deadly acute diseases which Hahnemann recognized as basic to all chronic disease and therefore a life-sentence unless combated and annihilated by their appropriate homoeopathic remedies. It is prepared from gonorrheal virus.

    It is fitful, unstable, going from one extreme of pathology to the other. At one extreme, the Medorrhinum patient is highly sensitized, he or she seeks relief from sensitivity and the relief is found in a state of profusion. Everything is taken to excess – physical discharges, temper, impulses, sexual indulgence etc. At the other extreme, it is a state of inversion, a turning inward of the pathology to the point of suppression, timidity and loss of physical, emotional and mental power.

    It spans extremes of temperament from introvert to extrovert, from kind to cruel, from intellectual and detached to highly emotional and intuitive.

    Weakness of memory: Loses the thread of conversation. Makes mistakes in writing, of spelling and words. Loses the ideas when speaking

    Confusion of mind: Loses herself and must be asked over again. Difficult concentration. Wild feeling in head. Living in a dream world.

    Weeping disposition: Cannot speak without weeping. Great difficulty in stating her complaints, sadness relieved by weeping. Weeping ameliorates symptoms. Weeping when spoken to.

    Introversion: Softhearted and sensitive to an extreme degree. Very shy and timid. Depressed. Anorexic or bulimic behaviour. Self-destructive behaviour.

    Fear & anxiety: Fear of dark. Fear of going insane. Fear of water. Fear of unseen things, fear of closed-in places. Fear of animals especially dogs. Frightened sensation in waking as if something dreadful had happened. Anxiety about her salvation. Anxiety if a time is set. Nervous. Restless. Starts at the least sound. Despair of recovery. Everything seems unreal. Apprehensive, anticipates events.

    Changeable state of mind: One moment sad, the next mirthful. Alternating or erratic states. Cross by day and exhilaration at night.

    Sadness: Melancholy. Suicidal thoughts. Sad, tearful and fearful.

    Great hurriedness: When doing anything is in such a hurry that it fatigues her.

    Time passes too slowly: People and time move too slow for her. Everybody moves too slowly.

    Delusions: Thinks someone is behind her. Feels far off, as though things done today, occurred a week ago. Thinks something dreadful has happened. Feels life unreal.

    Many symptoms are aggravated when thinking of them.
