Adrenalinum
Adren.
,1tract of suprarenal glands
Characteristics
Adrenalin or ,pinephrin, the active principle of the medulla of the
suprarenal gland #cortical secretion not as yet isolated$, is employed as a chemical
messenger in the regulation of the activities of the body; in fact, its presence is
essential to the activity of the sympathetic nerve. Adrenalin action on any part is
the same as stimulation of the sympathetic nerve endings thereto. 'ocal
application #=9=, >>> solution$ to mucous membranes promptly induces transient
ischaemia, seen in a blanching, persisting several hours from con:unctival
instillation. +ts action is very prompt, efficient, evanescent, oing to rapid o1idation
and therefore practically harmless, unless too fre-uently repeated, hen atheroma
and heart lesions - myocardial - in animals have been reported. Arteries, heart,
suprarenal bodies and vasomotor system are prominently affected.
The main action of Adrenalin is stimulation of the sympathetic ending,
notably the splanchnic area, causing constriction of peripheral arterioles, ith
resulting rise in blood pressure. This is esp. observed in stomach, intestines; less
in uterus, skin; nil in brain and lungs. 4urthermore is noticed, sloing of pulse
#medullary vagus stimulation$, and strengthening of heartbeat #increased
myocardial contractility$, resembling
3igitalis; increased glandular activity, glycosuria; depression of respiratory
centre; contraction of muscular tissue of eye, uterus, vagina; rela1ation of muscular
tissue of stomach, intestines, bladder.
5ses - +ts chief therapeutic use depends on its vasoconstriction action;
therefore a most poerful and prompt astringent and haemostatic; and invaluable
in checking capillary haemorrhages from all parts, here local or direct application
is feasible9 nose, ear, mouth, throat, laryn1, stomach, rectum, uterus, bladder.
.aemorrhagic condition not due to defective coagulation of the blood. Complete
bloodlessness, ischaemia, may be induced ith impunity. 'ocally, solutions

Therapeutically, Adrenalin has been suggested in acute congestion of the
lungs, asthma, %rave6s and Addison6s diseases, arteriosclerosis, chronic aortitis,
angina pectoris, haemophilia, chlorosis, hay fever, serum rashes, acute urticaria,
etc. 3r. P. Housset reports success in treating, homMopathically, cases of angina

Characteristics
+t eakens the heart, produces insanity. +ts most striking effects appear in
the auditory nerve for it makes each note upon the piano a centre of melody hich
seems to be surrounded by a halo of colour pulsating to the rhythm of the music.
Causes a form of into1ication accompanied by onderful visions, remarkably
beautiful and varied kaleidoscopic changes and sensation of increased physical
ability. Also visions of monsters and various gruesome forms. A cardiac tonic and
respiratory stimulant. .ysteria and insomnia. A remedy for brain fag, delirium,
migraine, hallucinations, ith coloured brilliant visions. Motor inco-ordination.
,1treme muscular depression; increased patellar refle1. Paraplegia.
NThe keynote of this remedy is schiBophrenia beteen the conscious and
unconscious life of the patient. There is a retreat from ob:ective reality into an inner
life so rich and so varied that the outer orld has lost its meaning. The plant itself
carries through this signature. The bulk of its bluish-green body is belo the
surface of the earth, or mythologically in the realm of the telluric forces of the
unconscious orld, and only the rose-tinted leaves, the pink to purple floers, the
crimson fruit and the yello stamen and style e1tend as a button #or a caterpillar,
called by the 8ahauti +ndians Peiotl$ above the ground in the airy, e1tra-telluric
orld of mythological consciousness. Possibly, as the result of this separation
beteen the conscious and the unconscious physiologically there is an all
pervading lethargy and a depression of the usual instincts of se1, hunger and a
desire for companionship. #+n this the action is similar to that folloing 2pium
smoking.$ 7et, in spite of the lethargy, insomnia is marked, esp. at night from over-
activity of the mind. The cerebral dissociation is accompanied by many peripheral,
neurological symptoms such as numbness, formication and anaesthesia, esp. of
tongue and limbs. +t shares the feeling of an electric current of K-ray. The visual
aberrations are among the richest of our materia medicas. 2utstanding are noise
and touch seen as colour, perspectives completely distorted. The visual impression
may be so poerful as to dron out all mental function. )lue and green perception
are increased; red and yello decreased. +n this, the ob:ective red and yello of
consciousness has been displaced by the more sub:ective blues and greens,
closer to the ultra-violet in the visual spectrum. An uni-ue symptom as green
e1perienced as a metallic taste; also, to-dimensional ob:ects appear multi-
dimensional. +n the mental sphere there is such a ide range of symptoms as to
make analysis e1tremely difficult. As e have said, outstanding is the increased
involvement in the inner life to the e1clusion of the outer. Complete absence of ill
so that volition has become autocratic, divorced from any mental control. Most of
the classic symptoms of religious e1periences can be found here - the euphoria,
the bliss, the loss of mundane time sense, the loss of self-consciousness, the
feeling of union ith a greater self, and the eternal renunciation of the orld.
Among delusions there is the classic schiBophrenic one that 6faces appear mask-
