Tag: secale cor

Ergot is a fungus, from family Clavicepitaceae, botanical name being Claviceps purpura. Secale Cor is made from the plant Rye infected by Claviceps. Rye is a grass that produced Rye was first cultivated rather late in human history, perhaps as recently as 2000 to 3000 years ago. It is still grown extensively in northern Europe and Asia. It lacks the proteins that make wheat suitable for living, and rye bread is denser and usually darker than the wheat bread, hence called Black Bread.

Ergot appears as black grain size fungal structures. In late spring , these ergots germinate and form tiny spore producing mushroom like structures. Infectious spores are carried by wind currents to the host during the flowering stage. Infection of the cereal flowers may produce a secondary phase called Honeydew. Honeydew is a shiny sticky liquid that oozes from infected flowers and contains large numbers of ergot spores. The spores spread to adjacent flowers and heads by insects and rain splash particularly to the open flowers of rye. Ergot that germinate in June can infect early flowering weed grasses, which produce honeydew when cereals are flowering.

It gives out a sickening heavy smell. Its colour is externally purplish black. Internally it is pinkish white. It has a nauseous and slightly acrid taste.
After an overdose of ergot or medications derived from ergot or from eating flour milled from ergot infected rye, humans and livestock may develop ergotism, a condition sometimes called as St. Anthony’s Fire. The symptoms include Convulsions, Miscarriages and Dry Gangrene and may be Death. It contains the crystalline alkaloid Ergotamine, Ergotinine and the amorphous alkaloid Ergotoxine.

    Sabina vs Secale Cornuta

    Both are hot remedies with haemorrhagic diathesis and a tendency to abortion, but they split sharply on how they bleed and the constitutional picture.

    1. Character of Haemorrhage

    Sabina
    1. Bleeding is bright red, mixed with dark clots
    2. Flow is paroxysmal gushes, then stops, then gushes again (suggests threatened abortion around 3rd month)
    3. Worse from least motion even a jar of the bed starts fresh bleeding
    4. Pain shoots from sacrum to pubis

    Secale Cornuta
    1. Bleeding is dark, offensive, continuous, passive oozing rather than active flow
    2. Worse from heat, better from cold (unusual patient wants to be uncovered even in cold weather)
    3. Dark, thin, decomposed-looking blood

    2. Abortion Tendency

    1. Threatened abortion at 3rd month (plumbago metrorrhagia type) (Sabina)| Tendency to abortion in 3rd month or later (Secale Cornuta)
    2. Retained placenta with bright red bleeding (Sabina)| Retained placenta with dark, offensive, passive oozing (Secale Cornuta)
    3. Pain from sacrum to pubis (Sabina)| Uterus feels heavy, dragging (Secale Cornuta)
    4. Coition causes bleeding (Sabina)

    3. Constitutional / Mental Picture

    Sabina: Hysterical, impatient, irritable; sudden fainting, coldness, then hot flushes. Wants cool fresh air. Arthritic pains in joints. Menses too early, too profuse, too long.

    Secale Cornuta: Picture of grain ergot poisoning: extreme debility, restlessness, anxiety, sensation of burning in abdomen, but craves cold air (“wants to be fanned”). Tingling, numbness, crawling sensations. Skin feels cold to touch but patient feels burning inside. Suited to thin, scrawny, cachectic women.

    4. Modalities (the real differentiator)

    Sabina: Worse warm room, warm drinks, least motion. Better in cool open air.
    Secale: Worse heat, better cold. “Hot patient who wants to be uncovered.”

    5. Other Distinctive Symptoms

    Sabina: Fig-warts, gonorrhoeal discharge, gouty nodes, pain between sacrum and pubis
    Secale: Contracted uterus after abortion, prolonged lochia, mental confusion as if intoxicated, sudden weakness, fainting

    Quick Memory Hook

    > Sabina = bright red + clots + paroxysmal + pain sacrum→pubis + 3rd month
    > Secale = dark + passive + continuous + burning internal but cold skin + wants air

    Hemorrhagic Symptoms of Secale cornutum (Ergot of Rye)

    1. Hemorrhagic Diathesis and Blood Characteristics

    – Passive, continuous oozing of blood
    – Blood thin, watery, black or dark brown in colour
    – Fetid or putrid odour, exhausting to the patient
    – Great prostration, coldness of skin, clammy sweat accompanying bleeding

    2. Sites of Hemorrhage

    – Uterine
    – Menorrhagia and metrorrhagia: copious, dark, watery flow lasting until next period
    – After-pains and fetid lochia postpartum
    – Gastrointestinal
    – Haematemesis: “coffee-grounds” vomitus
    – Melena: black, tarry stools
    – Respiratory
    – Haemoptysis: dark, slow-flowing blood
    – Nasal
    – Epistaxis: oozing of dark, fetid blood
    – Renal
    – Haematuria: black blood in urine
    – Capillary
    – Purpura and ecchymoses; spontaneous bleeding into skin and mucosa

    3. Concomitant Signs

    – Intense internal heat yet cold skin; patient intolerant of warmth
    – Formication and numbness; risk of gangrene in extremities
    – Extreme debility: patient sinks rapidly after each hemorrhagic episode

    4. Modalities

    – Worse: warm coverings, heat, exertion
    – Better: cold applications, uncovering, rest

    Secale cornutum is foremost indicated whenever there is passive, exhausting bleeding of black, fetid blood from any orifice, especially when the patient feels burning internally but intolerant of external warmth. Continuous oozing, extreme prostration, and improvement from cold are keynotes guiding its selection.
