GRINDELIA mit generierter deutscher Übersetzung Royal ry2 Makeup: Old and young, the two extremes of life; patients suffering from fatty degeneration of the heart. Locactions: Mucous membrane; lungs; heart. Sensation: Dyspnea; fullness of the head. Modalities: Agg. on going to sleep; in dark. Amel. by sitting up. Grin. is a remedy which is too often forgotten. We often loose time with patients by giving Ant-t., Kali-bi. and Ars-i. when we should give Grin. It is in the last stage of pneumonia, bronchopneumonia, bronchitis of weak children or old people that the Grin. group is found. There is much tenacious mucus in the bronchial tubes, giving the same rattling sound you get under Ant-t. and Am-c. You also have poor circulation as under Ant-t., but that of Grin. is due to fatty degeneration of the heart. "Fear of going to sleep lest the heart stop beating" or "Must lie awake and watch the heart so it will continue to beat" are two very common statements of the Grin. patients. They are what we call "reasonable" symptoms, because when the patient does go to sleep he does stop breathing and wakes up with a start and gasping for breath. Not only must he keep awake, but must also sit up to be able to breathe. A ranking symptom in this group is "Fullness of the head." It has been used wih success in 3rd. and 30th. In children we often have convulsions during the first part of the stage of invasion. Usually the patient lies on the affected side.
