Based on the individual homoeopathic constituents of Rauwolfia compositum, therapeutic possibilities result for the treatment of hypertonia of various origins, especially constitutional hypertonia, the effect arising not only through symptomatically acting antihypertonic agents such as Rauwolfia, Viscum, Belladonna and Melilotus, but also by means of antisclerotically acting drugs such as Aurum jodatum, coupled with a circulation-regulating
effect (Arnica), increase of the detoxicating function (Sulphur) and of the hepatic function (Lycopodium, Cynara scolymus, Hepar), through which, in association with the improvement of the often causal disturbances of the renal function by means of renal extract, a broad potentiating effect in accordance with Burgi's principle is achieved, which is directed specifically against hypertonia of various origins.
In serious cases, alternating injections of Coenzyme compositum ampoules and Ubichinon compositum ampoules are recommended; at intervals possibly also Hepar compositum as well as other biotherapeutic-antihomotoxic agents, etc., also Testis compositum ampoules or Ovarium compositum, Angio-Injeel, Cralonin, Solidago compositum S (for disturbances of the renal functions), Thyreoidea compositum (for powerful stimulation of the hormonal functions with antineoplasmatic effect).
In addition, oral preparations such as Aesculus compositum (relief of peripheral circulatory disturbances) and Populus compositum SR (for prostatic patients with disturbances of the renal excretion) as well as Syzygium compositum (for diabetic patients) can find application. Also preparations such as Hepeel (hepatic function), Cralonin and Angio-Injeel (regulation of the cardiac function), Zeel (biological anti-rheumatic and anti-arthritic agent) are indicated for the corresponding disorders; for any regressive vicariation occurring, biological remedies for inflammation, such as Traumeel S, Echinacea compositum S, etc.
Therapy which has proved effective for hypertonia consists of Rauwolfia compositum with alternating injections of Carbo compositum, Placenta compositum, Cerebrum compositum, Cor compositum, possibly also Angio-Injeel, Circulo-Injeel and Hepar compositum (each according to predominance of the accompanying syndromes).
