About Nosodes
‘Nosodes’ (from the greek nosos, disease) are biological preparations used in homeopathic medicine to prevent disease. The concept of nosodes as therapy was advanced by Dr Samuel Hahnemann (1755–1843), the father of homeopathy. Nosodes are a specific category of homeopathic treatment derived from an element of a disease or from diseased tissue, defined as “a homeopathically prepared remedy made from an infectious disease product either directly from the bacteria or virus, or less directly from a tissue purported to contain it”.) The preparation of a nosode involves a succession of serial dilutions of biological material, usually by factors of 100, which is then administered to prevent or treat a health disorder. Nosodes have been widely used in veterinary homeopathic medicine and are now being used therapeutically in humans.
It is necessary to eliminate any septic foci before prescribing a nosode, because a septic focus, either acute or chronic, interferes with action of a nosode or may even cause a disease aggravation. In any disorder there is also a possibility that the patient has been administered a remedy, which is antidoted by one of the common foods or beverages. All nosodes (like other remedies) are usually antidoted by coffee.
The most difficult decision to take is, which of the nosodes is required, and this depends, to a large extent, on the totality of the symptoms exhibited by the patient. There is a significant percentage of patients, who do not show any clear indications for particular nosode. If are are indications for one particular nosode, then there is no difficulty. The choice then usually lies between the first four common nosodes: Psorinum, Tuberculinum, Medorrhinum and Syphilinum.
List of five common Nosodes
| Psorinum | The main indication for Psorinum is general asthenia, anorexia. The patient has a very poor resistance to acute diseases and there has been a progressive decrease of vitality in the chronic case. The patient has a low vitality, a poor circulation and is hypersensitive to cold. The patient has a very unhealthy looking skin with a greasy face, or a tendency to acute acne and other similar skin eruptions. Their appearance is characteristic. They are usually thin ectomorphic. They always have a very harsh, dry, cold skin, which gives the impression of being dirty. They are particularly susceptible to wind or working in water |
| Tuberculinum (bacillinum) | The second most common nosode used is Tuberculinum. It is essential to be mindful that the Tuberculinum temperature reaction is very characteristic. Tuberculinum patients are sensitive to extreme heat, and are particularly sensitive to any lack of oxygen in the atmosphere. Characteristic in all Tuberculinum patients is the fact that they feel better moving about. Another characteristic is a change of temperament, from very good tempered to being an individual who is very disagreeable, angry or weeping easily. Tuberculinum is sometimes very useful in adolescent children. School children’s headaches usually respond very well to a dose of Tuberculinum |
| Medorrhinum | There are two types of cases with Medorrhinum indications. The commonest is the patient with a chronic tracheo-bronchitis, with or without asthmatic attacks. The next commonest is the with soft tissue rheumatism (fibrositis). It is not easy to distinguish between Medorrhinum and Thuja occidentalis patients, as their personality, their reactions and symptoms are very similar. A person who does not respond to Thuja occidentalis and yet it has all the indications for it, will probably be helped with Medorrhinum. The distinguishing modalities for Medorrhinum are; amelioration from lying on the abdomen, amelioration from sea air and a 5 a.m aggravation |
| Syphilinum (Lueticum) | The next common nosode used is Syphilinum. There are certain type of cases with indications for Syphilinum (apart from a definitive syphilitic history). But where there is a syphilitic history, particularly in the history of the patient, it is more than likely that a dose of will be needed during the course of treatment. . Indications for Syphilinum may occur also in arthritic cases, such as rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatic patients that have responded to Phytolacca decandra very often progress to Mercurius and then on to Syphilinum. Some ulcers of the legs that have the typical appearance of Carbo vegetabilis such as the chronic, atrophic ulcers respond to Syphilinum |
| Bowel Nosodes | The next commonest used are the bowel nosodes. The kind of case likely to need a bowel nosode is one, where there is a low grade toxemia, chronic headaches and chronic gastro-intestinal symptoms. If such a case does not respond to treatment with one of the four common nosode, a polyvalent bowel nosode may be used. |

Dosage of Nosodes
The improvement following one dose of a nosode usually lasts for two or three weeks. If there are definite indications for one particular nosode, It may be given in a high potency, otherwise as a complementary remedy it is best to use in medium potency ; 30C or 200C. Nosodes, as a simillimum, are usually effective only in high potencies, They must not be used, if the vital energy of the patient is very low.

The commonest sarcode used is Thyroidinum. This is used in cretinism, myxedoma, rheumatic diseases and anorexia nervosa.
