Conium maculatum
Conium maculatum also known as poison
hemlock or spotted hemlock is a member
of the umbeliferae family of plants.

Conium maculatum
This plant family, also called Apiaceae or
Carrot family, is one of the best-known
families of flowering plants, because of its
characteristic inflorescences and fruits
and the distinctive chemistry reflected in
the odor, flavor and even toxicity of many
of its members. The Umbelliferae seems
to be the first flowering plant family to be
recognized as such by botanists about the
end of the 16th century.

Conium maculatum
Conium maculatum is a native of Europe,
western Asia and North Africa, and
common in low waste places, along
roadsides, edges of cultivated fields,
railroad tracks, irrigation ditches, stream
banks, etc. It was brought to the U.S. from
Europe as a garden plant.

Conium maculatum
Conium maculatum, known as poison
hemlock, was ingested by Socrates
because of his negative influence on
the youth of Athens.

Conium maculatum
It was introduced first into our homoeopathic
pharmacopoeia by Samuel Hahnemann.

Conium maculatum
Conium affects very strongly:
- The sexual sphere.
- The mental sphere.
- The central nervous
system.

Conium maculatum
The major idea of Conium maculatum is
sclerosis, of becoming hard,
especially the glands, which become
swollen and indurated. A gradually
progressing weakness with the
formation of indurations during the
decline, is the perfect picture found in
the patient needing this remedy for
their pathological condition.

Conium maculatum
This process develops on all three levels.
On the mental level, we observe a
gradual decline of the intellectual
capacities. The patient becomes more
and more dull; he has more difficulty
in comprehension.

Conium maculatum
Conium causes paralysis of the motor nerve
filaments of the cerebrospinal system.

Conium maculatum
The key to the weakness and paralysis in
Conium maculatum is that it is very
gradual.
Ive been feeling
weak and listless
for quite a while.

Conium maculatum
The paralysis and weakness spreads
from below, the lower giving out before
the upper.

Conium maculatum
As the action increases, other and more
vital organs are involved. The lungs
are attacked; there is dyspnea; the
pulse is irregular, implicating the
heart muscle. Finally the patient dies
from paralysis of respiration.

Conium maculatum
It may also be used after severe diseases,
such as diphtheria and typhoid fever,
and also for complaints from excessive
masturbation.

Conium maculatum
It is useful in the weakness of old people
and to diseases that are caused by a
blow or fall.

Conium maculatum
One of the indications that stands out
prominently in Conium is its dizziness.
It is brought on and aggravated by
turning the head sidewise. There is
aggravation when lying down, but
this aggravation is more the effect of
movement necessary in the act of
lying down which causes the problem in
the patient needing Conium maculatum.

Conium maculatum
We use it for swelling and induration of
glands after contusions and bruises;
tumors coming on after injury, are also
helped by Conium.

Conium maculatum
The thing to remember is that the glands
wherever affected are of stony hardness.
These indurations are quite common in the
breasts, in the testicles, and in the
uterus.

Conium maculatum
Conium patients can develop severe
problems such as cancer, especially
cancer of the breast or of the uterus.
Cancer of cervix uteri is also often
seen. The idea is that a hard tumor
develops, mostly of the glands, but it
can be located anywhere in the body as
well. Conium is one of our most
important remedies in the treatment
of cancer.

Conium maculatum

Conium maculatum
It is indicated in ophthalmia - a
characteristic symptom being intense
photophobia, disproportionate to the
level of inflammation.
Oh no!!!

Conium maculatum
Conium maculatum has a strong tendency
for a type of paralysis of the urinary
bladder.

Conium maculatum
It is often indicated in weakness of the
sexual organs, due to bad effects from
suppressed sexual desire or from
excessive indulgence.

Conium maculatum
Conium is used in patients who used to
have a normal/intense sexual life and who
stopped:
the loss of a partner
the idea that sex is a sin
exaggerated meditation or people who
suddenly stop their way of life for spiritual
reasons and suddenly follow a guru.
people who are strictly religious and
who are thus celibate (priests, nuns, for
other complaints.)

Conium maculatum
We frequently use this remedy in old
bachelors, in old women and in
widows, who suffer from ill effects of
suppressed sexual instinct and nongratification of sexual appetite.

Conium maculatum
Also we may see hypochondria in
unmarried men with strict principles
of sexual morality.
MIND - HYPOCHONDRIASIS - sexual - abstinence, from
CON. mosch.

Conium maculatum
In spite of the sexual desire, the sexual
powers are weak. Men often have preejaculation.

Conium maculatum
Conium is the main remedy for the gland
that is affected greatly by sexual activity
in man: the prostrate. If a suppression
of sexual urge occurs in a Conium
man, the first gland to be affected is
the prostrate. It can even cause
prostate cancer. In addition, Conium is
an important remedy in indurated and
malignant swelling of the testes.

Conium maculatum
The characteristic prostate gland symptom
of Conium is a constant urge to urinate
with little or no result. The patient has
to get up at night because of this strong
urge, he has to push hard to urinate a bit.
The urination stops, while the urge
remains. This situation can be so serious
that the patient becomes desperate
and anxious, so that he starts to perspire
and he gets a headache and vertigo.

Conium maculatum
Interruption of urination is a keynote
of Conium.
It keeps
starting &
stopping

Conium maculatum
The peculiarity of the sweat is, that it
comes on as soon as the patient
sleeps or even whenever he closes his
eyes.

Conium maculatum
Conium patients are relieved by
letting the affected limb hang
down (unlike Vip.)
I feel much
better!

Conium maculatum
Another keynote is tremulous weakness
after every stool, that ceases in the
open air.
I have to get outside into the
fresh air right away!!!

Conium maculatum
In the context of the menses, there is also
sensitivity, tearfulness and restlessness.

Conium maculatum
Weeping fits which turn into vertigo
and weakness are very
characteristic of Conium.

Conium maculatum
Dullness and inability for sustained
mental efforts, dislike for society,
disinclination to business, complete
indifference, great depression of
spirit and anxiety and irritability of
temper, are some of the symptoms to
follow sexual excesses, and are
quite well remedied by Conium.

Conium maculatum
On the physical and mental plane,
Conium will have slowly developing
deteriorating conditions, especially
leading to senility.

Conium maculatum
The typical Conium patient is quite
materialistic. They are people who will not
be involved with philosophical, spiritual or
religious matters.

Conium maculatum
There is strong element of attachment to
other people and especially to their
partner, in a rather materialistic or
ownership way.

Conium maculatum
Conium is one of the main remedies that
will suffer on the loss of the husband
or the wife, due to lack of ability for
the sexual outlet.
I just cant
date again!

Conium maculatum
Female Conium patients depend on regular
sexual activity but if the husband dies they
do not easily start a new relationship.

Conium maculatum
The problem from lack of sex will usually
start with vertigo & then go to trembling
& weakness.

Conium maculatum
Conium patients are fixed on their sexual
patterns not at all flexible. They are
also not oversexed and do not tend
toward promiscuity or extra-marital
relationships.

Conium maculatum
The materialism of Conium is different from
that of Platina (ego based). Coniums
attachment is to the material world their
property, habits & family. This is what
they worry about.

Conium maculatum
The Conium patient feels that the good
things which are given to us are our right
to enjoy. They do not feel guilt about this.

Conium maculatum
As with the indurations occurring in the
cancers, there seems to be an
induration in a certain part of the
mind. And they develop fixed ideas
and especially superstition.

Conium maculatum
Conium patients tend to have compulsive
thoughts and to execute compulsive
actions.
Must not step on a
crack!

Conium maculatum
The Conium patient tends to have
compulsive thoughts but only in a
specific area of their life while the rest
of the brain works perfectly.

Conium maculatum
Coniums fixed ideas often, but not
always, center around the need for
absolute quiet. This is especially true
regarding toilets.

Conium maculatum
On the emotional plane we also see a
hardness developing - indifference,
depression. Alienation from the family
or loved ones.

Conium maculatum
The emotions are gradually weakened
and paralyzed until it is impossible to
bring them to the surface and express
them.

Conium maculatum
If they get a present, they cannot be
happy, and they are also unable to cry
when they would like to; their feelings
may still be there but there are petrified
and indurated, they cannot be
moved. Then they become gloomy and
unhappy; they do not want company
and they feel unable to communicate
with anybody in the world, even to
people who are close with them.

Conium maculatum
Conium can be useful when there is an
alternation of manic and depressive
stages.

Conium maculatum
They will be loyal to you as long as
they feel you can help them and as
long as you are not hurting them. But if
there is a stage where, in their opinion,
you are not helping them enough,
they will immediately let you know,
demanding their rights. In this way, they
can appear similar to remedies such as
Arsenicum album and Nitricum acidum

Conium maculatum
Finally, very severe mental retardation will
occur. There can also be premature senility.

Conium maculatum
A frequent and characteristic symptom is
an inability to sustain mental effort.

Conium maculatum
Conium is an important remedy in
chronic recreational drug users,
not for the acute consequences of high
doses of drugs, but for people who are
more careful with drugs.

Conium maculatum
Conium patients are also very
sensitive to alcohol. Hering
writes, The slightest spirituous
drink intoxicates him.

Conium maculatum
Conium patients are affected by cold
and exertion. They are generally
chilly. They tend to have
complaints from over-lifting.
