A journey through mind rubrics of Hura brasiliensis

Dr Saraswati

ABSTRACT
Hura brasiliensis is mainly known for its use in skin complaints and the mind Ailments are neglected. In homeopathic practice, we meet with situations where prescribing becomes difficult owing to insufficient data. I am venturing to share wider and deeper understanding of the mind of Hura brasiliensis.

 KEY WORDS: Hura brasiliensis, Mental symptoms

INTRODUCTION
Hura brasiliensis known as Assaku, it belongs to Euphorbiacae family and remedy prepared from using milky juice.

Tree contains rough, warty bark, oval leaves and monoecious flowers. When the fruit is ripe and exposed to a dry atmosphere, it bursts with great force, accompanied by a loud, sharp crack like the report of a pistol, for which reason it is often called the Monkey’s Dinner-bell.

A venomous milky juice is abundant in all parts of the plant, and if it be applied to the eye causes almost immediate blindness. The capsules were formerly used to sprinkle sand on wet ink; hence the name ‘sandbox tree.

Hura is used for skin complaints mainly and mind symptoms are not explored in most of materia medicas.There are 113 mind rubrics are there in Synthesis repertoty and Dr.Rajan Sankaran  mentions about mental symptoms of Hura. Mind symptoms helps us for evoluation of constitutional remedy.

CONTENT
The mental symptoms of Hura brasiliensis were obtained via reverse repertorisation by using Synthesis Repertory by Frederik Schroyens (RADAR software).
