Local ApplicationsCategory: DISEASES OF FEMALES Source: An Epitome Of Homeopathic Healing Art That medicines act locally, that is, manifest their symptoms by peculiar derangement or disturbance of some particular part of the system, more prominently than of any other part, for the time, no one will deny. That each one has some particular locality or tissue upon which its action is more perceptible than anywhere else, is equally undeniable, and that the prominent symptoms are often external and local, is also true. Yet, with these truths clearly demonstrated, there are those of our school who discard the external or local application of all remedies except _Arnica_. Why this is done, is difficult to determine, unless we can believe that such physicians suppose it to be _heresy_ to make use of any remedy in a different manner from what was recommended by the "Father of Homoeopathy," and abjure all possibility of _improvement_ in our practice. That nearly if not all medicines, may be applied externally with advantage, when there are local manifestations similar to those produced by the drugs, there can be no doubt in the mind of any sensible man. That they will act favorably when so used is _reasonable_, as a matter of theory, and that they do, as a matter of fact, has been _proven_ to my mind, by abundant experience in their use. Therefore, I hesitate not to recommend the practice to others. Medicines must act either by combination with the affected part, or by _Catalysis_, changing the molecular action of the living tissues. In either case, they must come directly in contact with the part to be affected. This _must_ be done through the circulation, when taken internally, or it _may_ be done by direct application of the remedy to the diseased tissue, when that is so situated as to be reached. The difference is greatly in favor of the latter mode when that is practicable, from the greater certainty of its results. This assertion is based, not upon vague hypothesis, but upon _actual practice_. Entertaining these views, however heretical they may be pronounced, I shall proceed to mention some of the remedies I have learned to use thus, and the cases for which they are prescribed. I would remark that, in selecting a remedy, it must be done with as much certainty of its homoeopathic relation to the local or general symptoms for external as for internal use. I have found, however, that much lower attenuations are requisite and admissible. ARNICA is highly applicable to _bruises_, and is valuable also when applied to lacerated or mangled surfaces, to the surface of the limb where a bone is fractured, also about the joint when it has been dislocated. It is to be used in the form of _Arnicated water_, by putting one or two drops to a gill of water for application where the skin is ruptured or the surface raw, and ten to twenty drops to the gill, upon parts where the skin is sound. It is useful also, for _boils_, and _carbuncles_ in the _early stage_, the _strong tincture_ to be applied when the surface is sound, and (to boils) when the surface is open, one drop to a gill of water.
