Answer 1

This is the proving of ANACARDIUM from the Materia Medica of Homeopathic Medicine By Dr.William Boericke MD :-

ANACARDIUM ORIENTALE
Marking Nut
(ANACARDIUM)

The Anacardium patient is found mostly among the neurasthenics; such have a type of nervous dyspepsia, relieved by food; impaired memory, depression, and irritability; diminution of senses (smell, sight, hearing). Syphilitic patients often suffer with these conditions. Intermittency of symptoms. Fear of examination in students. Weakening of all senses, sight, hearing, etc. Aversion to work; lacks self-confidence; irresistible desire to swear and curse. Sensation of a plug in various parts-eyes, rectum, bladder, etc; also of a band. Empty feeling in stomach; eating temporarily relieves all discomfort. This is a sure indication, often verified. Its skin symptoms are similar to Rhus, and it has proved a valuable antidote to Poison-Oak.

Mind.--Fixed ideas. Hallucinations; thinks he is possessed of two persons or wills. Anxiety when walking, as if pursued. Profound melancholy and hypochondriasis, with tendency to use violent language. Brain-***. Impaired memory. Absent mindedness. Very easily offended. Malicious; seems bent on wickedness. Lack of confidence in himself or others. Suspicious (Hyos). Clairaudient, hears voices far away or of the dead. Senile dementia. Absence of all moral restraint.

Head.--Vertigo. Pressing pain, as from a plug; worse after mental exertion-in forehead; occiput, temples, vertex; better during a meal. Itching and little boils on scalp.

Eyes.--Pressure like a plug on upper orbit. Indistinct vision. Objects appear too far off.

Ears.--Pressing in the ears as from a plug. Hard of hearing.

Nose.--Frequent sneezing. Sense of smell perverted. Coryza with palpitation, especially in the aged.

Face.--Blue rings around eyes. Face pale.

Mouth.--Painful vesicles; fetid odor. Tongue feels swollen, impending speech and motion, with saliva in mouth. Burning around lips as from pepper.

Stomach.--Weak digestion, with fullness and distention. Empty feeling in stomach. Eructation, nausea, vomiting. Eating relieves the Anacardium dyspepsia. Apt to choke when eating or drinking. Swallows food and drinks hastily.

Abdomen.--Pain as if dull plug were pressed into intestines. Rumbling, pinching, and griping.

Rectum.--Bowels inactive. Ineffectual desire; rectum seems powerless, as if plugged up; spasmodic constriction of sphincter ani; even soft stool passes with difficulty. Itching at anus; moisture from rectum. Hæmorrhage during stool. Painful hæmorrhoids.

Male.--Voluptuous itching; increased desire; seminal emissions without dreams. Prostatic discharge during stool.

Female.--Leucorrhœa, with soreness and itching. Menses scanty.

Respiratory.--Pressure in chest, as from a dull plug. Oppression of chest, with internal heat and anxiety, driving him into open air. Cough excited by talking, in children, after fit of temper. Cough after eating with vomiting of food and pain in occiput.

Heart.--Palpitation, with weak memory, with coryza in the aged; stitches in heart region. Rheumatic pericarditis with double stitches.

Back.--Dull pressure in the shoulders, as from a weight. Stiffness at nape of neck.

Extremities.--Neuralgia in thumb. Paralytic weakness. Knees feel paralyzed or bandaged. Cramps in calves. Pressure as from a plug in the glutei. Warts on palms of hands. Fingers swollen with vesicular eruption.

Sleep.--Spells of sleeplessness lasting for several nights. Anxious dreams.

Skin.--Intense itching, eczema, with mental irritability; vesicular eruption; swelling, urticaria; eruption like that of Poison-Oak (Xerophyl; Grindel; Croton). Lichen planus; neurotic eczema. Warts on hands. Ulcer formation on forearm.

Answer 3

If you saw a qualified homeopath, I imagine s/he has suggested what we call an LM potency of Anacardium. Not sure why the suggestion is 4X daily, rather than once but I didn't take your case. LM's are very gentle and usually require a good follow through ie. several weeks at least. Anacarium has an affinity for the mind and nervous system, amongst other things. As long as all your symptoms (physical, mental and emotional) are taken into account, it could very easily help with stress.

Answer 4

I have been using homeopathy for years and find it quite effective. However, if you do go to a homeopath, please make sure they have the right credentials. Unfortunately, any charlatan can call themselves a homeopath and get away with it. Homeopathy is a branch of medicine that involves a lot of study. Look to see if they have any titles after their names. Here is a link which will teach you something about homeopathic credentials. If the person you are going to does not have these credentials, take your money and run:http://www.homeopathicdirectory.com/credentials.php
You are asking the question why did he give you anacardium. The question I am now going to ask you is Why did you go to him in the first place. Did you have a problem. Usually a good homeopath will prescribe a remedy based upon your symptoms and upon certain aspects of your personality. Also the remedies are generally given in pill form in varying strengths such as 10x, 30x, 30c, 200c. It is rare that a practitioner will prescribe a powder. If you have any more questions, you can contact me through my e-mail.
