“Physiognomy and examination
There are often cramp rings in the periphery of the iris.
Note: this is met in all the Magnesia’s.
There is a contraction (trigger point) of especially the left musculus trapezius, pars descendens, and the left musculus supraspinatus, which are sensitive to pressure, with a slight elevation of the left shoulder* (d.d.: Mag-p. has a contraction of the trapezius, pars descendens, on the right side).
There is a subluxation of the eight dorsal vertebra.
Muscle tests:
– weakness of the right musculus gluteus medius (related to the circulation-sex meridian), which creates an elevation of the right pelvis, while standing.
– weakness of the left musculus deltoideus posterior (pars spinalis) (related to the lung meridian).
Sometimes there is an open ileo-caecal valve. In that case one will find also a weakness of the left musculus quadratus lumborum and a TL at:
– Kidney 5 (bilaterally) and Kidney 58 (left),
– the Mc Burney’s point and the reflex area of the ileo-caecal valve below the right malleolus externus, and
– the processus spinosi of the third cervical vertebra and the twelfth dorsal vertebra (which’s processus spinosus is turned to the left).
Target organs:
skin, urinary tract and genitalia female.
Appearance and behaviour
Often indicated in children who are adopted or have a stepmother and are not equally treated as the other children in the new family (d.d.: Calc-s.).
Clinical observations
Headache ameliorates from epistaxis.
Occipital headache alternating with frontal headache (dgt) (cf. Sulph.).
Epistaxis at night.
Eruptions, excoriation and dryness at naso-labial folds (dgt) .
Paleness of face aggravates from sitting up in bed.
COPIOUS STOOL. Diarrhea with diuresis.
Greenish urine with red sediment.
Sometimes one has a deep, hollow, bass voice (as in catarrh).
Cough ameliorates while standing. The patient falls asleep during dry cough.
Backache while lying on back.
Pain cervical region (with total stiffness (dgt) ) is better while walking.
Osgood-Schlatter disease (dgt) (cf. Chel. and Zinc.).
Warts.
Rubbing ameliorates pain between scapulae and pain in tips of fingers.
Note: Magnesia sulphurica can have also symptoms of all the Magnesias and of Sulphur (dgt)”
