Based on the individual homoeopathic constituents of Placenta compositum, therapeutic possibilities result for the stimulation of the metabolic functions, especially of the peripheral circulation, as well as for arteriosclerosis, gangrene of the leg due to excessive smoking, elephantiasis, diabetes mellitus, gangrenous ulcers, decubitus dysmenorrhoea, vegetative dystonia, erythema nodosum et multiforme, embolism, post-encephalitic and postapoplectic residues, endarteritis obliterans, chronic cold feet, endometritis, inner ear deafness, as auxiliary remedy also in nephrosis, migraine, neuralgia, mastodynia, muscular rheumatism and Cushing's syndrome.
The revitalizing and stimulating effect of the organ and glandular extracts, together with homoeopathic remedies and catalysts, results in a specific action directed towards the peripheral vascular system, it being essential to take into consideration also the cerebral and myocardial blood supply.
Placenta compositum is, therefore, the parenteral preparation for Aesculus compositum drops, and should be administered in combination with this, not only for disturbances of the peripheral circulation as in smoker's legs and arteriosclerotic deficiency phenomena of the mental capacity, but also for migraine, possibly also for mastodynia as well as for various skin diseases, in order to relieve the connective tissues more rapidly from deposition phase homotoxins. In such cases, toxic contamination of the organs is attacked by Hepar compositum (liver), Cor compositum (heart), Solidago compositum S (kidneys), Discus compositum ampoules (disorders originating in the vertebral column), etc., further, by Traumeel S, possibly also by Coenzyme compositum ampoules, Ubichinon compositum ampoules (stimulation of the enzyme functions), in precancerous dermatitis by Thyreoidea compositum (antineoplasmatic action). Always indicated is the injection, interchanged, of such Composita preparations as are expected to bring about the participation of the corresponding organ or tissue functions.
The dosage is adjusted according to the disease, the clinical picture and the stage of the illness: in acute disorders 1 ampoule daily, otherwise 1 ampoule i.m., s.c., possibly i.v. once to 3 times weekly, alternating with auxiliary remedies.
