ZINCUM METALLICUM

  Vies with Nux vomica for hard work,  Docile yet irrascible, the Keynotes are Oversensitivity, and the inability to throw things off either mentally or physically.  The eruptions in the spirit of Zincum as well as in the Skin cannot be thrown off and its natural fidgetiness and activity are turned into a slow and desperate prostration. 
  (E.W. HUBBARD, HG. 6-78) 
  
Another remedy for Defective Vitality, sometimes called the mineral Opium, appears in Molluscs.  It is preternaturally calm especially in regard to death, which it loves. Speaks of death with pleasure, though not suicidal, lies with eyes closed as if in Coma, and when questioned, hesitates, repeats the question to gain time, and finally slowly gives a rational answer. 

  Brainfag, a ‘punch drunk’ Nux vomica. 
  Effusion into the Ventricles with rolling Eyeballs and half-open eyes. 
  Complete inability to Sleep. 
  Hangs the head down over the bed. 
  Energetic during Menses. 
  Sovereign remedy in Post-Measles Encephalitis. 
  
  (E.W. HUBBARD, JAIH, 5-6, 65) 
  
  
  Exhausted, Overworked, Broken-down no more Vitality.  Complete Prostration, can’t go on. 

  As soon as he becomes Ill he becomes depressed, thinks of the worst, in the blackest terms.  Spinal affections. 

  Hypersensitive to Noise and above all the sound of Voices, which put him beyond himself. 

  The Pulse in rapid, especially in the evening, and intermittent.  This is an objective Symptom which can be useful in defective illnesses. 

  Very good action on Pterygia; itching of the internal Canthus, which is often irritated; rolls his eyes; looks cross-eyed. 

  Pale complexion; Angular Cheilitis at the corners of the mouth; tendency to hawk.  Left ovarian pains.  Sensitive Mammae, especially during Menses.  Menses flow more at night.  Itching Thighs and Popliteae.

  Facial neuralgia, post-herpetic or otherwise (The remedy may be left-sided, yet to be confirmed). 
  
  (David WEMBER, JAIH. 1-92) 

  Any Suppression causes central neurological disturbances (e.g. suppression of Eruptions, Menses etc.) 
  
  (Vassilis GHEGAS, HL. 1-95) 
  
  It is a remedy I use frequently and with great success in Asthma.  I prescribe it on the indication: amelioration of the Dyspnoea on expectoration.  The crisis comes to an end as soon as the patient begins to expectorate, even if expectoration is provoked.  Even the single dose of 30th sometimes causes a violent aggravation.  I use a single dose of the 9th Potency. 
  
    (HUI BON HOA, BHJ. 1-77) 
  
  ‘Makes a big deal’ about any little physical injury: Hep., Nat-m., Nit-ac., Phos., Sulph.
