 Medorrhinum: another surprising homeopathic remedy
Published Tuesday 08 May 2018
Homeopaths seem prone to getting a few things badly wrong (evidently, if not they would not be
homeopaths!). Gonorrhoea is not a viral condition as some of them seem to assume, for instance; it
is caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. But never mind, we should not be pedantic.
Anyway, I wasn’t going to write about gonorrhoea (but I will come back to it at the end of this blog)
nor its homeopathic treatment. Today, I want to tell you a little bit about a specific homeopathic
remedy with amazing qualities.

According to this website, Medorrhinum is a powerful and deep-acting medicine, often indicated

for chronic ailments… For women with chronic pelvic disorders. Chronic Rheumatism. Great
disturbance and irritability of nervous system. Pains intolerable, tensive; nerves quiver and tingle.
Children dwarfed and stunted. Chronic catarrhal conditions in children. Nose dirty, tonsils
enlarged, thick yellow mucus from nostrils; lips thickened from mouth breathing. State of collapse
and Trembling all over. History of sycosis. Often restores a gonorrhoeal discharge. Intensity of all
sensations. Oedema of limbs; dropsy of serous sacs. Disseminated sclerosis.
Another website advocates Medorrhinum particularly for children: One of the many uses of this
remedy is in the inherited complaints of children. The physician of long and active experience meets
many obstinate cases in children. The infant soon emaciates and becomes marasmic, or a child
becomes asthmatic, or suffers with vicious catarrh of nose or eyelids, or has ringworm on the scalp
or face, or is dwarfed… This remedy will cure, or begin the recovery.

And the US ‘National Center for Homeopathy‘ recommends Medorrhinum for all of the following
conditions:
Asthma.
Clonic spasms.
Corns.
Diabetes.
Dysmenorrhea.
Epilepsy.
Eyes, inflammation of.
Favus.
Gleet.
Headache, neuralgic.
Liver, abscess of.
Masturbation.
Ovaries, pains in.
Pelvic cellulitis.
Polypi.
Priapism.
Psoriasis palmaris.
Ptosis.
Renal colic.
Rheumatism.
Sciatica.
Shoulder, pains in.
Stricture.
Urticaria.
Warts.
Do I really need to mention that none of these claims are supported by evidence?
I am sure that, by now, you are keen to learn what Medorrhinum is made from. It is prepared from
the urethral discharge of a male patient suffering from gonorrhoea.
No, I kid you not!
For once, we can all consider ourselves lucky that homeopaths tend to dilute their remedies until all
of the original substance has disappeared!

Morgan, Berridge, Wilder, Higgins, Ostrom, Nichols, Peace, Sawyer, Carr. Bigler. Macdonald, in
Great Britain, and Noegerath and Lydston, in American, have published fatal cases, and the effects
of the poison. The symptoms produced by the virus in acute cases have been included in the
pathogenesis, just as the toxic symptoms of
Arsenic, Mercurius,
and Plumbum are included in the pathogenesis. The potentizing of the virus has
developed latent dynamic forces, which is just as effective in homeopathic practice, prescribed
strictly on its symptomatological basis as any other remedy. If the symptoms of the patient call for
this remedy it should be prescribed with the same confidence as any other in the Materia Medica,
entirely irrespective of the sycotic history in the case. Like every other nosode, it should be
prescribed according to its strict indications, just as we prescribe Arsenic, or
Sulphur, irrespective of its origin or the diagnosis.
We append the following graphic description on the effects of

Glinicum. Nosode of Gonorrhoea. Attenuations of the Virus.
Medorrh. is one of the most important of the nosodes. The constitutional nature of the gonorrhoea
poison has within recent years been recognised in the old school as well as the new. Noegerath of
New York and Angus Macdonald in this country have pointed out a causal connection between post-
partum pelvic cellulitis and latent gonorrhoea in the husband. Macdonald published several fatal
cases. The effects of the poison, constitutional or acute, may be taken as data for homoeopathic
prescriptions.

Tumour right side of abdomen. As if left lung collapsed or paralysed. As if an abscess between left

joint.
The pains seem to tighten the whole body, especially the thighs. There is scarcely a spot on the body
that is not full of pain. Obstinate rheumatism. Sequelae of acute rheumatism. D. C. McLaren relates
in Hahn. Advoc. (quoted Amer. Hom., xxii. 408) a case which illustrates the power and sphere of
this nosode. A young French Canadian of delicate constitution, after working in a factory all winter,
began coughing in spring and running down in health. He returned home and came under
McLaren's care in May. The cough persisted and prostration increased, in spite of carefully selected
remedies, and the patient took to his bed. It was then observed by McLaren that the cough and
general condition was amel. from lying on the face. This, coupled with a knowledge of there being a
syphilitic taint in the boy's parentage, suggested Medorrh., which was given. The next day a profuse
gonorrhoeal discharge appeared, and the cough and all threatening symptoms promptly disappeared.
Exposure to contagion had occurred several weeks before, but from lack of vitality the disease
could not find its usual expression and was endangering the patient's life. Ernest Nyssens ("La
Sycose de Hahnemann," Jour. Belge d'Hom, vi. 244) quotes some important observations by old-
school authorities on constitutional gonorrhoea. Wertheim in a case of gonorrhoeal cystitis watched
the entrance of the gonococcus into the blood stream. With the gonococcus taken from the blood of
this patient he made cultures to the fifth generation. A youth who had never had venereal disease
volunteered for inoculation with this. The subacute urethritis which resulted was so grave, and, in
spite of all, became complicated so cruelly with cystitis, epididymitis, prostatitis, synovitis, and
pleuro-pneumonia, that Wertheim asked whether the gonococcus did not redouble its virulence by
passing into the blood. Louis Jullien and Louis Sibut (from whose paper Nyssens quotes the above)
witnessed the following case in Saint Lazare hospital Louisa M., 17, entered the hospital June 8th
with urethro-vaginitis, and was treated with tampons (tiges) of Ichthyol dissolved in
glycerine
(1 to 5). The urethritis ran a normal course till July 6th, when this condition was reported
The patient has had sufferings in the abdomen for a week, but has made no complaint. However,
they became so acute the previous night that an injection of
was given. Rectal temperature 100.2. Tongue saburral. Right side abdominal pain. In spite of rigid
contraction of the recti muscles there seemed to be a swelling deep down, but the observers were
not certain it was not a swelling of the muscles themselves. Intestinal functions normal.
The rheumatic symptoms are of extreme intensity, and Medorrh. will cure many cases where the
symptoms correspond. I have cured many cases of dysmenia with it, following Burnett. Burnett
cured with Medorrh. 1m ($51$) A patient who had fits at every menstrual period, the fits coming on
in the early morning. (2) A man who had clonic spasms, the legs suddenly shot up from the bed. (3)
A case of right wrist rheumatism. (4) Polypi having their origin in a chronic suppurating discharge.
(He regards Medorrh. as "the mother of pus and catarrhs"). (5) Masturbation in children. (6)

hereditary gonorrhoea.
there are often in these cases glandular enlargements, and the patient is amel. at seaside. In such
cases he gives Medorrh. (When there is syphilitic paresis and the patient is amel. in the mountains,
he gives
Syph.). In acute bowel troubles in rickety children he finds Medorrh. of great value.
Thomas Wildes (H. P., xii. 70) considers that favus and scald-head and ophthalmia tarsi simplex
(margins scaly, scurfy , often angry red, falling of lashes) are due to suppressed gonorrhoea in one
or both parents. The red, angry condition of skin may extend from face or scalp, down neck and
back to perineum and genitals. ($51$) Girl, 11, had been treated by many physicians with salves and
ointments to the general impairment of her health. Face mottled with a profusion of red scurfy
sores, eyelids involved and nearly denuded of lashes.
hairy scalp one diffuse mass of thick yellow scabs, from beneath which oozed a highly offensive
mixture of ichor and sebum. Passing down neck, back, perineum and involving genitals and pubes
was a fiery red band as broad as the child's hand, oozing a pale yellow serum which caused the
clothing to stick to the body. Wildes told the mother he could cure the case, but it would certainly
get worse the first three months. This was not objected to. Medorrh. c.m. (Swan) was given, one
dose on the tongue. The external appearance grew rapidly worse, but appetite, sleep, and general
health steadily improved, and in nine months she was completely well. (2) Child, 6, since infancy
horribly disfigured with tinea capitis. Scalp a mass of dense scabs exuding fetid ichor , the only
semblance of hair being a few distorted stumps ending in withered roots. One dose cured in a few
months, and at the time of Wildes' writing patient was a healthy and extremely talented young lady
and the possessor of a luxuriant head of chestnut hair. Wildes thinks that suppression of favus when
derived from gonorrhoea in the father leads to hydrocephalus, capillary bronchitis, severe teething
diarrhoeas, cholera infantum, &c.
if derived from the grandfather, suppression leads to consumption and lingering diseases. Fiery red
rash developing about the anus in babies a few days old.
constipation with hard, dry stools.
when the nurses say "baby's water scalds it terribly," the indications for Medorrh. are clear. Wildes
regards the latent gonorrhoeal taint as the true explanation of many of the disease-manifestations
included by Hahnemann under Psora. Burnett in a way confirms this, as he traces gout to a sycotic
origin. Wildes regards Medorrh. too dangerous a remedy to give in acute cases whether of
gonorrhoea, rheumatism, or scarlatina , on account of the intensity of the aggravation it is liable to
cause.
Medorrh. is the remedy in single doses, but it is rarely if ever to be given in the acute stages of a
disease. In general motion agg., rest amel. Lying on face or stomach amel. cough. Stretching out
agg. Leaning head forward agg. Leaning far back amel. constipation can only pass stool so. (I cured
with Medorrh. 200 a most aggravated case of constipation on this indication. The patient said he

containing long white mucous shreds. Many years before he had had gonorrhoea.) There is great

The physician of long and active experience meets many obstinate cases in children. The infant
soon emaciates and becomes marasmic, or a child becomes asthmatic, or suffers with vicious
catarrh of nose or eyelids, or has ringworm on the scalp or face, or is dwarfed.
This remedy will cure, or begin the recovery. The woman married several years desires to become a
mother. She was healthy when she married, but now she has ovarian pains, menstrual troubles, she

Rheumatic symptoms in every part of the body. Some symptoms are worse in the daytime. The
usual comparison with
Syphilinum, which reads,
"Med. in daytime and
Syph. at night," does not hold good as a sweeping statement. It is true that many
Syph. pains are worse nights.
It is true that some sycotic and Medorrhinum symptoms are worse daytimes. It is also true that
many sycotic symptoms are violent day and night. It is also true that the mental symptoms of Med
are most violent at night. It will not do to be too sweeping with circumstances of this nosode.

remedy. Dryness of the larynx causes spasms and cough on falling asleep.
Most obstinate catarrh of air passages with copious viscid expectoration has been cured by this
remedy. Cannot cough deep enough to reach the phlegm (
Caust). Thecough is ameliorated by lying on the abdomen, is aggravated at night. The expectoration.

phthisis . Dry cough, with rattling in chest. Great heat, even burning in chest. Many pains in chest.
Rheumatic, sharp pains through chest on exposure to damp cold air.
When patients who have suffered from gonorrhoea seem to be taking on a phtisical complex of
symptoms and the paucity of individualizing symptoms makes the remedy doubtful, this remedy
will bring better reaction, and sometimes be the remedy for many months.
Intense pain in chest on coughing. Sensation of coldness in chest and mammae. Stitching pain in
chest. The chest is sore to touch, and aggravated by the motion of breathing.
The heart manifests all the symptoms usual to rheumatic constitutions. Dyspnea; fluttering heart;

heat in the upper part of spine. Stiffness in the back on rising, or beginning to move. Pains all
aggravated in cold damp weather. Tender spine, Soreness in region of kidneys.
Limbs Chronic rheumatic pains in limbs in cold damp weather.
The limbs are lame and stiff. Stitching pains all over the body, and in limbs. Sharp pains. The
patient is extremely sensitive to pain, and feels pain as sharp and stitching. Some of the pains come
on during motion, and some are better from continued motion. Cold extremities. Burning palms and
soles, Trembling of the limbs. Rheumatic pains in shoulders aggravated from motion.
Numbness of arms and hands, worse left. Trembling hands and arms. Burning palms, wants them
fanned. Right hand cold, then left. Cold hands. Heat and numbness of back of hands.
Trembling weakness and numbness of lower limbs. Awkwardness of legs, they do not go where
they are willed to go. Numbness of thighs. Must stretch the lower limbs constantly. Drawing pains
and tension in legs. Rheumatic pains. Stiffness and soreness in flesh and periosteum . Shooting up
the legs during a thunderstorm.
Restlessness in legs, must move them constantly. Aching, drawing in legs and thighs, in sciatic and
crural nerves, ameliorated by continued motion. Legs numb and heavy, like wood. Legs cold up to
the knees.
Contraction of muscles of posterior part of thigh down to knee. Cramps in soles and calves. Weak
ankles. Burning feet, wants them uncovered and fanned. Legs swollen to knees, and pit upon
pressure. Sore bruised legs, ankles and soles. Soles sore and bruised, look blue. He cannot walk on
the soles. Swelling and itching of the soles. It cures the tenderness in the soles so common in
chronic gonorrhoeal rheumatism. Tenderness of soles so that be had to walk on his knees. Cold
sweaty feet.
Since writing the above I have experimented more with the so-called nosodes and have had
seemingly very good results from this remedy as well as
Syphilinumin intractable cases of chronic rheumatism. The most characteristic difference between
them is that with Medorrhinum the pains are worse in the day-time, and with
Syphilinum in the night.
There are, no doubt, great curative powers residing in these two disease poisons and they should not
be discarded simply because they are the products of disease.
In regard to the other nosodes, I have, within two years past, seen more remarkable effects from
them.

In summer, 1875, I had an obstinate case of acute articular rheumatism in a man aet. 60, from June
11th to September 5th; he suffered excruciating agony from neuralgia .
After a desperate battle for life the first week of September, he was relieved, and arose from his bed
a wreck.
It was expected that time and out-door life and the best hygienic measures would restore him.
But weeks and months passed without change, he walked the streets leaning on a cane, bent over,
muffled in wraps to his ears, and looking like an old man about to fall into the grave.
His wife consulted me on other matters, and said "her husband was as well as could be expected
considering his age; she believed he would not do anything more, as he regarded his feeble state due
to his age."
However, he came next day, and I gave him three doses of Medorrhinum, to be taken every
morning; within ten days he returned feeling well and looking well.
I then gave him one dose to be taken after some time; this was the prescription he has required.
Within the month, after the Medorrhinum, he dropped his cane and muffler, walked the street erect
with a firm step a perfectly well man, having increased in weight from 140 to 212 poundsp

Fear of the darkfont
Feeling as if he had committed the unpardonable sin and was going to hell.
A word or look of seeming harshness puts her in despondency for hours.

forgetful; unable to think connectedly; mind wanders from subject, even in reading; cannot think at
all if hurried.
Always wakens tired in the morning; hates to do anything that must be done, even nice things; gets
nervous and excited about ridding and driving as soon as the time is fixed.
Constant state of anguish.
Always a feeling of impending danger, but knows not what.
There is no cause for such feelings, as she is not obliged to do anything when disinclined; is so

Inability to think continuously, to talk or to listen to talking when weary; vacant feeling in head.
Forgetful, cannot remember the least thing any length of time; writes everything down of any
importance; cannot trust herself to remember it; great irritability and disgust with life.

nervous system.
Medorrhinum is forgetful of names, words, etc., but instead of forgetting occurrences, during
certain periods of time, like
Syphilinum,
it forgets what it is reading, even to the last line read; it cannot concentrate its attention;
thinks words spelled wrong and have no meaning, etc.
Medorrhinum develops a peculiar sensitivity especially in relation to occurrences affecting itself.
It feels the evil coming to it, and the bad news before it arrives, of course it is selfish, and it is easily
hurt by a harsh word.
It is also introspective, self-accusative, remorseful.
Time moves slowly to it, therefore it is hurried.
We find a dazed condition from the loss of the thread of thought, which annoys and causes a dread
of saying the wrong thing, and a difficulty in stating symptoms.

restless, uneasy, unbalanced nerves.

She could not read in the evening, and in the morning the lids would be closed, and she suffered
much on getting them separated.
There was much discharge.
Before coming under me she had been under strict homeopathic treatment all the time.

she was entirely cured.
