 Alumina

Other Names: Aluminium hydroxide. Oxide of Alum. Pure

Clay. Al2 03 3H20. Argilla. (Clarke’s Dictionary). Aluminium
oxide. Main component of ordinary clay. (Scholten)
Chemical Information: It is a light amorphous powder,
white, insoluble both in water and alcohol. It appears in
group 13 of the periodic table.
Provings: Hahnemann- 6 provers.
Homeopathic Preparation/Pharmacy: It is prepared by
adding Potassium carbonate in solution of Alum. (Blackwood
MM). See Hahnemann’s CD for further discussion.
Miscellaneous: Aluminium oxide is mined mainly in the
form of bauxite. Alumina never occurs in a pure form.
Aluminia is the third most abundant element on the earth.
It is an excellent conductor of electricity and heat.
It’s uses are too many (applications in the thousands) to list,
as it is in paints, alloys, ceramic materials, electrical insula-
tors, glass steel, artificial gems, cooking utensils, fireworks,
etc etc.
 Aluminium aceticum

Other Names: Aluminium acetate.

Common Names: Burow’s Solution.
Homeopathic Preparation: Used in solution as a lotion. Trituration.
Chemical Symbol: Al(C2H3O2)2OH + Al2O3. Al(C2H3O2)3.
Description: Mixture of acetic acid and boric acid with antiseptic and
astringent properties. Used in deodorants, astringent lotions, and protec-
tive creams.
Miscellaneous: Externally, it is used as a lotion for putrid wounds and skin
infections.
 Aluminium bromatum

Other Names: Aluminum Tribromide.

Chemical Symbol: AlBr3.
Description: A white to yellowish red solid. It is used for alkylation, bromi-
nation and isomerization catalyst in organic synthesis.
Toxicology: A highly corrosive chemical. It is a reactive chenical and and
explosion hazard.
Contact can severely irritate and burn the skin and eyes. Inhalation can
irritate the nose, throat
and lungs causing coughing, wheezing and/or shortness of breath.
 Clay

Other Names: Jones Medical Genius refers to this as both alumina and
“mineral earth.”
Common Names: Potter’s clay.
Homeopathic Preparation: Trituration.
Provings: Meditation Provings from the Guild of Homoeopaths,
Prometheus.
Chemical Symbol: Al plus “other constituents.”
Description: The soil taken from an area of ancient woodland in East
Sussex, which is known as Clayhill, is rich in clay and is chiefly composed of
hydrated silicates of aluminium. However, there are traces of limestone and
sandstone as well. – Prometheus.
Miscellaneous: Clayhill was inhabited by the Romans who set up brick
kilns for the firing of clay bricks that were used for building local villas.
“This remedy is not, strictly speaking, ‘Clay’ as the sample of earth from
which it was made contained other constituents besides clay. –
Prometheus.
 Alumen

Other Names: Potassic-Aluminic

Sulphate.
Common Names: Potash Alum.
Homeopathic Preparation:
Trituration of the pure crystals.
Provings: Proved and intro-
duced by Hering in 1845.
Chemical Symbol: KAl(SO4)2, 12 H2O.
Description: Alumen, is a colorless salt, composed of transparent, crystal-
line masses and having an acid, sweetish taste. It is a double sulphate of
Aluminium and Potassium.
Toxicology: This agent is actively astringent, coagulating the albumen of
the tissues and of the blood and produces a local constriction of the
capillaries. It is mildly escharotic and produces a hardening of the skin and
tissues in general. It excites and later diminishes the salivary secretions as
well as those of the mucous surfaces, it diminishes the gastric fluid and
precipitates pepsin. As a result of its action on the intestinal secretions,
constipation is produced. Through its irritating properties which may be in
excess of its astringent properties gastroenteritis may result. –Blackwood’s
Manual.
 Aluminium muriaticum

Other Names: Aluminum chloride.

Homeopathic Preparation: Triturations.
Chemical Symbol: AlCl3.
Description: It is a colorless salt prepared by dissolving Aluminium hy-
drate in Hydrochloric acid and evaporating.
Miscellaneous: Aluminium chloride is one of the most widely used cata-
lysts in organic chemistry. It is corrosive, difficult to separate and recover
from reactions, and associated with environmentally hazardous waste.
 Aluminium metallicum

Common Names: Aluminum.

Homeopathic Preparation: Triturated metallic aluminum.
Provings: Discussed by C.M.F. Von Boenninghausen, M.D. in The Homeo-
pathic Physician, Oct., 1888, page 526. “Tabes Dorsalis and Aluminium
Metallicum,” (Translated from the Allgemeine Homeopathische Zeitung.)
Chemical Symbol: Al.
Description: It was discovered in 1872 and it is the most common metal
and the third most common element on earth (7.5%). Aluminium is found
in earth and clay. The metal is very light and is used in aluminium foil and
in aircraft. It is often used as a component in steel to bind the oxygen and
to make it light in weight. – Scholten’s Elements.
 Alumen

 Aluminium phosphoricum

Chemical Information: Phosphate of Aluminium. Alumina phosphorica.

 Aluminium sulphuricum

Provings: Aluminium sulphuricum is a new remedy. The remedy picture

was predicted by Jan Scholten on basis of the group analysis of both
aluminium and sulphuricum. - Rienk Stuut, Confusion of Identity with My
Lover, A case of Aluminium sulphuricum in Links, 1996.
 Alumina silicata

Other Names: Kaolin. Chinese

clay. Porcelain Clay. Bolus alba.
Andalasite rock..
Chemical Information: Alumina
63% Silica 37% (Vermeulen
Concordant).
Provings: Appears to be clinical
only. Aegidi was the first to use Alum-sil. in cases of croup.(Murphy 11)
Homeopathic Preparation/Pharmacy: In old-school practice it is used "as a
completely inert powder" in the same way as fuller's earth and also as a
basis for making pills. (Murphy 11).
