Cactus grandiflorus. |
| (Night-blooming Cereus) Used as Homeopathic medicine (botanical). (Homeopathic potencies accredit their strength and efficacy to the electromagnetic signatures of the original substrate; these are scientifically created dilutions and succussions of medicines such that generally not even a molecule of the original substrate or medicine is present in the medicine). As a Homeopathic or used simply as a micro-nutritional, it has demonstrated effectiveness against the following symptomology: "Cactus affects the entire organism but its intensive operation is on the heart and circulation...it will benefit a large number of cases of weakened and painful heart...sharp pains in diaphragm and girdle pain around its attachments...constrictive sensations as if an iron band prevented heart's normal movements, or as if heart were compressed violently...indigestion with these symptoms...specially indicated where heart is weak and arteries atheromatous." (Clarke)As a Homeopathic or used simply as a micro-nutritional, it has demonstrated effectiveness against the following menopausal symptomology: "It is an important remedy in diseases of women that occur at the time of the menopause, the oppressive headaches that are complained of with pressure on the top of the head, also for the hot flashes that occur at this period. The patient suffers from melancholia, nervousness, irritability of temper, hypersensitiveness, fears and fancies, and neuralgia with sharp shooting pains and a sense of constriction, or pains that dart and spring at any portion of the body, like chains of lightning and end with a sharp, vice-like grip, only to be renewed."
