🐍 Bothrops – The Snake Venom Remedy for Stroke, Thrombosis, and Paralysis

Latin Name: Bothrops lanceolatus
Common Names: Yellow Viper, Fer-de-lance
Family: Viperidae (Snake family)
Source: Prepared from the venom of the yellow lance-headed viper, native to Martinique, through homeopathic trituration and potentization.

📜 Origin and Background

Bothrops was introduced into homeopathy for its potent effect on the circulatory system, especially in conditions involving:

Hemorrhage (bleeding)
Blood clotting disorders
Paralysis after stroke
Venous thrombosis and cerebral infarction

The toxic venom, when potentized, becomes a powerful therapeutic agent to restore balance in blood coagulation and nervous pathways.

🧪 Preparation in Homeopathy

The venom is diluted and succussed repeatedly to render it non-toxic, transforming it into a remedy that works on:

The coagulation mechanism
Venous circulation
Hemorrhagic tendencies
Neurological paralysis

🩺 Key Clinical Indications of Bothrops

1. Stroke with Hemiplegia or Aphasia

Sudden paralysis of one side of the body.
Inability to speak (aphasia) post-stroke.
Suited for left-sided paralysis with tongue involvement.
Difficulty swallowing, speech slurred or absent.

2. Venous Thrombosis / Blood Clots

Blood clot formation with cyanosis, edema, and pain.
Used in deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or embolism risk.
Weakness, cold extremities, blackish discoloration.

3. Hemorrhagic Disorders

Bleeding from the nose, gums, rectum, or uterus.
Particularly when blood is dark, incoagulable, or oozes slowly.
May be indicated in menorrhagia, hemorrhagic fevers, or retinal bleeding.

4. Post-COVID Coagulopathy (modern use)

In recent clinical contexts, used in post-viral clotting syndromes or COVID-related thrombosis under professional care.

🔱 Garuda Purana & Vedic Healing Connection

While Bothrops (a New World viper) is not mentioned in Vedic scriptures, the Garuda Purana offers a framework for treating diseases born of blood, karma, and nervous breakdown.

“Rakta-vikramaḥ srotasām daurbalyaṃ tat karmajaṃ.”
(Disorders of blood and nervous channels are born of karmic accumulation and require both physical and spiritual remedies.)

Holistic guidance inspired by Garuda Purana:

🧘‍♂️ 1. Mantra for Blood & Nerve Healing

“Om Rudraya Namaha” – to stabilize blood pressure and nerves
“Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra” – daily 108 times for stroke recovery

🌿 2. Sattvic Diet & Herbal Liver Detox

Avoid meat, alcohol, mustard oil, and heavy grains
Use Punarnava, Brahmi, and Neem decoction for blood cleansing

🔥 3. Dhoopana & Energy Cleansing

Burn guggulu and cow dung cakes with neem in damp, disease-prone homes
Purifies ambience and pranic flow, especially after illness

📌 Conclusion

Bothrops is a high-power homeopathic remedy drawn from snake venom, used for treating stroke, clotting disorders, and paralysis. It works not just on the physical coagulation system but also supports vital nerve recovery. When combined with Vedic practices from Garuda Purana, the healing extends to both body and karma.
