Fixed ideas: As if a strange person were at his side; as if soul and body were separated; as if a living animal were in abdomen; of being under the influence of a superior power. Insane women will not be touched or approached.
Thuja occidentalis — general · H.C. Allen
Thuja bears the same relation to the sycosis of Hahnemann—fig warts, condylomata and wart-like excrescenses upon mucous and cutaneous surfaces—that Sulphur does to psora or mercury to syphilis. Adapted to hydrogenous constitution of Grauvogl, which is related to sycosis as effect is to cause. Acts well in lymphatic temperament, in very fleshy persons, dark complexion, black hair, unhealthy skin. Ailments from bad effects of vaccination (Ant-t., Sil.); from suppressed or maltreated gonorrhea (Med.). Sensation as if body, especially the limbs, were made of glass and would break easily. Flesh feels as if beaten, from the bones (Phyt.—as if scraped, Rhus-t.). Chill, beginning in the thighs. Sweat: Only on uncovered parts; or all over except the head (reverse of Sil.); when he sleeps, stops when he wakes (reverse of Samb.); profuse, sour smelling, fetid, at night. Perspiration, smelling like honey, on the genitals.

Thuja occidentalis — introduction · Margaret Lucy Tyler
(“Arbor Vitæ ”) Arbor vitæ !—indeed a " Tree of Life, for the healing of the nations ! ” as we shall see. Hahnemann says that no serious medical employment was made of this plant “ before now He says " the pure effects of this uncommonly powerful medi cinal substance will be regarded by the homoeopathic practitioner as a great addition to his medicinal treasury in some of the most serious diseases of mankind, for which hitherto there has been no remedy.” He specifies it as “ the only efficacious remedy ” for fig-warts and gonorrhoea. He used the 30th potency, and then found that in the 60th potency, " it had not sunk to complete powerlessness,* but on the contrary had rather become even more intensely charged with the medicinal virtue of Thuja ”. Thuja produces mtense headaches and neuralgias. It affects especially the left temple. Its characteristic pain is " sensation of a nail being driven into head ”. It affects the kidneys, with frequent urination and all sorts of pathological urine including sugar ; also urine like water (Ign.). It has great action on anus and genitalia :—anus fissured, painful to touch, often with warts, “ sometimes immense numbers of flat, moist, mucous tubercles or condylomata around anus, especially in sycotic subjects.” Sweat about genitalia ; offensive. Warty and cauliflower excrescences about anus and genitalia. It has the severe backache of small-pox, for which it has proved a most useful remedy, being one of the drugs that produces and cures pustular eruptions. That Thuja can produce warts, we had a curious proof years ago. One of our horses had a few warts, and scars where warts, probably, had been cauterized at some time or other. The coachman was given a small bottle of Thuja <p, with instructions to put some of this into water, to bathe the warts.
