This homoeopathic medicine is prepared from waves of natural or industrial electricity. This remedy is related to patients who become affected by thunder or lightning. Before the onset of a storm or with the onset of stormy conditions, the patient becomes asthmatic or develops catarrhal conditions. The resultant depression, restlessness, despair, rapidity of pulse and headache, benefit from treatment with Electricitas. One should remember that that this medicine should not be administered to patients who already had the symptoms of cold before the onset of a stormy condition. The doctors who have such experience describe it to be a very dangerous practice.
Electricitas has been found useful in treating the body aches, chills, feeling of extreme weakness, tiredness, sleeplessness, catching fever and excessive sweating, all resulting from sudden change of weather. It is said that this medicine annuls the bad aftereffects of Mercury also.
This medicine is one of the most recently discovered, to which some homoeopaths give a great importance but personally I am of the opinion that in the above situation, the previously well-tried homoeopathic remedies should be further studied and mastered. However, I have entered this remedy in my book for those who intend to do further experimentation. If good well-experienced doctors, be they homoeopaths or allopaths, experiment on such medicines and then let the homoeopathic board know about their successful observations, this can be very useful for others. Some amateurs and lay Homoeopaths make lofty claims about the success of this remedy and keep writing to me. But, I have generally found it to be their own vain imagination only, I find it difficult to accept their reports as reliable.
