Prophylactic powers of Belladonna against Scarlet Fever (1829) The proper use of belladonna has, in most cases, prevented infection. Numerous observations have shown that, by the general use of belladonna, epidemics of scarlet fever have actually been arrested. In those few instances where the use of belladonna was insufficient to prevent infection, the disease has been invariably slight.

Homeopathic Medicines
- Red onion when peeled makes your eyes water and your nose burn. If you are having an attack of hay fever with watering eyes and a burning nose or a cold which is ‘worse indoors, better in open air’, a homeopathic remedy made from onion called allium cepa can relieve it. [1]
In 1790, Dr Samuel Hahnemann discovered the principle of similar when he found that drug which was known to be curative actually produces those very symptoms when given to a healthy person. He said, “Substances which arouse a kind of fever extinguish the types of intermittent fevers…. Cinchona cures intermittent fever by virtue of its power to produce in the healthy, a similar affection” [1]
Arnica montana may be the right choice if along with fever, there is shivering and cold all over the body, but the head is red and hot, or where there is coldness of the extremities, but internally the sensation is one of heat. [3]
Belladonna is used to treat scarlet fever (bacterial disease) since the symptoms of belladonna poisoning closely resemble those of scarlet fever. [1]
In 1798, in the paper, “Some kinds of Continued and Remittent Fevers”, Hahnemann recommends Ledum pal 6-7 grains, Ignatia 2-3 grains and Opium ½-1/5 grain. [1]
Preventive Medicine for fever [1] [2]
1. Preventive use of homeopathy was first applied in 1799 during an epidemic of scarlet fever in Königslütter, Germany, when Dr. Hahnemann prescribed a single dose of Belladonna as the remedy of the epidemicus genus to susceptible children in the town with more than 95% success rate.2. Eupatorium perfoliatum is one specific medicine for prevention of chikungunya fever when taken during an epidemic.

As a parent, is there anything more frightening than a young child with a high fever?
