Indepth Product Information:
The well-known effects of a bee's sting: burning, stinging, lancinating pain with excessive swelling, give leading keynotes for its employment in a great variety of conditions. In addition to these there is great sensitiveness of the surface to touch. General soreness: "every hair is painful to contact." Great debility as if he had worked hard, is compelled to lie down. Tired and bruised feeling. Great restlessness and fidgetiness (the Ars. restlessness is more from mental anxiety). Trembling, jerking, and twitching. One half of the body twitching, the other lame or paralysed. Hemiplegia.
Apis is more a right-side medicine, symptoms proceed from right to left (Rhus left to right) and from above downwards.
Apis has slow action and must not be changed too soon.
Increased flow of urine shows it is having a favorable effect.
The dropsies of Apis are characterized by a waxy hue of skin, whitish or yellowish, transparent swelling of eyelids, bag-like swelling under eyes, surface of body sore, bruised, or burning.
In cardiac dropsy the feet swell after walking, and are intolerably sore and burning.
In chest affections there is sensation of contraction (Lach.) And inability to lie down.
Tension, swelling, and stiffness of limbs.
This tight sensation is manifested in another symptom: sensation in abdomen as if something tight would break if too much effort was made to void a constipated stool.
Aversion to tight things like Lach. Prostration even to faintness.
Paralytic weakness.
Paralysis (after diphtheria and other severe diseases).
Nervous, restless, over-sensitive, or hot and drowsy, with or without thirst.
Worse From touch or pressure (though the head is better by pressure). In this Apis resembles the Antimonies, and it is like them in sensitiveness to heat, especially to heated rooms (Puls., Iod., Kali-i., Camph., Sec., Sulph.), worse by warmth of bed.
Cold water better.
Many symptoms (eyes and chest) are worse in the night, and sleep is disturbed by piercing cries, or else by moaning and whining.
Worse In morning: mucus in mouth, restlessness, diarrhoea.
Worse In evening: erysipelas, giddiness, headache, chills, fever.
Many symptoms are worse lying down, and better sitting. |
