Homeopathy is a field of medical care that has been in existence since the late 1700s, having first been created by Samuel Hahnemann, MD, who wrote all of the original books on the subject. It’s based on the several principles that “small amounts fix what large amounts cause” (Similia Similibus Curentor) and what’s known as the “Law of Similiars.”

I explain this in simplistic terms by telling patients to remember what happens when you peel an onion – your eyes water. By simply juicing an onion and then making a dilution of the onion juice and taking it sublingually, your eyes will stop watering. It’s the same principle that governs the effectiveness of allergy shots.

The Law of Similiars comes into effect when a patient has watering eyes and wasn’t peeling onions and when asked what they were peeling says, “nothing.” Then the physician still gives them the diluted onion juice and the eyes still “stop watering.” They stop watering because onions are energetically similar to hundreds of substances that also cause watering eyes and act as a “Similiars” to whatever was the causative agent of the watering eyes in the first place.

There are thousands of homeopathic-known similar relationships; Diluted poison ivy make arthritis get better; Diluted honey bees make hves go away; diluted elemental sulphur takes excess heat out of the body; diluted pulsatilla flower stops crying; diluted Ignatia bean takes grief away. There are literally hundreds of thousands of these known relationships where a dilution of something can cause a healing effect in a human disease state.

 The author is an expert in a specialized field of homeopathy known as homotoxicology, which is the brainchild of another German physician, Dr Hans Heinrich Reckeweg MD, who developed his philosophies in the late 1930s right before the outbreak of World War II while he was practicing as a Family physician in Berlin and created a company called HEEL. Dr Reckeweg understood homeopathic principles, which as developed by Dr. Hahnemann had the user only using one remedy at a time. Homotoxicology calls for preparations having multiple ingredients in the same bottles to get multiple effects at the same time.

 As it relates to blood vessels, one of those preparations produced by HEEL is called Placenta Compositum. From a homeopathic standpoint, the Placenta (taken from Suis Organ preparations, not humans) is very rich in blood vessels and the growth factors that promote the growth of new blood vessels. Its main indications are “For the temporary relief of symptoms due to poor circulation including cold hands and feet, weakness of the extremities, hemorrhoids, varicose veins and lightheadedness.” The actual several ingredients are:
 • Aesculus Hippocastanum 4X: for chilliness up and down back.
• Sarcolacticum Acidum 4x: tired feeling with muscular prostration, sore feeling all over.
• Secale Cornutum 4X: debility,anxiety emaciation   (this is a very excellent vein remedy).
• Cuprum Sulphuricum 6X: cramp of pain and striped musculature (homeopathic copper is long known as a muscle strengthening substance).
• Melilotus 6X: numb, aching knees, skin and extremities cold.
• Placenta Suis 6X: peripheral circulatory disorders.
• Solanum Nigrum 6X: violent restlessness, alternation of coldness and heat.
• Strophanthus Hispidus 6X: generalized edema, swollen extremities (this is a spider venom that in large amounts destroys blood vessels, diluted it heals them).
• Embryo Totalis Suis 8X: Revitalization (homeopathic growth factors promotes growth of new vessels).
• Natrum Pyruvicum 8X: Promotes detoxification.
• Vena Suis 8X:Varicose veins, crural ulcers (this is actual homeopathic dilution of veins themselves).
• Arteria Suis 10X: Intermittent claudication (this is actual homeopathic dilution of Arteries themselves).
• Funiculus Umbilicus Suis 10X: Impairment of connective tissue (homeopathic dilution of the umbilical cord, stem cells are here; in homeopathic dilution promotes stem cells to become new vein and artery).
• Hypophysis Suis 10X: Disorder of connective tissue function (homeopathic dilution of pituitary gland).

TABACUM 10X
• Tabacum 10X: Legs and hands icy cold, limbs tremble (tobacco destroys vessels, diluted tobacco heals them).
• Viper Berus 10X: Varicose veins, severe cramps in lower extremities (viper venom destroys vessels, dilution heals them).
• Baryta Carbonica 13X: Cold, clammy feet, icy coldness of body.
• Plumbum Iodatum 18X: Muscular atrophy (lead poisons vessels, dilution helps excrete lead).
  There are many other facets of both homeopathy and homotoxicology and the proper use of these remedies requires synergistic use of multiple remedies together.
