Chronic Bronchitis, Anaerobic Chest
Infections and Cough
Presentation:
Joanne, a single busy professional sales woman presented, 43
years, of slight build with fair, freckled complexion and fine, ginger
hair. She had a pleasant clear
manner and was feeling tired and despondent concerning her general ill
health.
For
the previous 8 years she had recurrent chest infections and blocked sinuses
managed by antibiotics, namely ‘Augmentum’.
During the past three years, whilst on antibiotics, she continued to
produce yellow, green phlegm on waking and had recurrent vaginal
thrush. The Anthroposophic Doctor
prescribed Weleda Pneumadoron I & II and Cuprum Ren.
Treatments:
Four
treatments were given, two each week,
At
each appointment, Joanne received
a lemon footbath and ginger compress to the kidney region.
Results:
From
the first appointment, Joanne was
aware of an improvement; breathing was easier, less phlegm on waking, head
and sinuses felt clearer and she experienced increased energy and body
warmth. This response continued
throughout the course, in addition her normal tendency to constipation was
absent, a considerable relief to her.
After
a break of four weeks, symptoms returned so Joanne
had another series of treatments as before.
This
time the Anthroposophic Doctor prescribed Weleda Pulmoferrum, Teucrium
Comp, Taraxacum Stanno Cultum and Gencydo injections along with a weekly
eurythmy class. This time she took
leave of work and really rested between appointments.
The
second series resulted in a very positive long-term response.
