Drainage Remedies

 Drainage remedies promote the eliminative functions, particularly kidney, liver, skin, digestive and lymphatics. They are equivalent to opening the doors and windows so that when a toxic burden needs to be eliminated it can happen without aggravation.
Commonly used drainage remedies are Berberis and Solidago, in low potencies, to promote kidney elimination, and Carduus and Taraxacum to promote liver support and elimination. In addition there are many complex remedies from the German pharmacies (e.g. Pascoe, Heel, Kern,) that are very effective in promoting lymphatic, kidney, liver and skin functions. As a part of a remedy programme to reduce toxic burden, especially when there are multiple toxic residues, they can be a very cheap and effective way of targeted eliminative improvement and they can make a critical difference in a patient's ease of recovery. Toxic Residues (see link at end of this article) are often the blocking factors to a patient's ability to call on their own resources to heal themselves, and as such they perpetuate chronic conditions. They include vaccination stresses, unresolved previous infections even though the original symptoms have disappeared, lymphatic toxicity linked to childhood sore throats and tonsillitis, inappropriate use of suppressive pharmaceuticals and many other historical factors in a person's biography that are still having an impact now.
When a patient is poly-medicated the drug residues often affect the effectiveness of constitutional homeopathic remedies, and therefore it is always helpful to use drainage remedies first in order to promote the elimination of the drug residues. It is often the case that some of the symptoms are iatrogenic and the patient will soon feel the benefits of these drainage remedies.
In the case of arthritis and rheumatic disorders, many practitioners use Juniper Similiaplex (Pascoe), which helps release uric acid from the tissues.
Following drainage remedies it is often possible to slowly withdraw some or all of the drugs. It must be noted that long- term usage of pharmaceuticals leads to an impregnation of the drug picture leading to miasmic effects. This always blocks or suppresses the effect of the constitutional remedy and interferes with the patient's ability to rectify their own situation.
