Nosodes and Sarcodes

Title: Nosodes and Sarcodes Authors: Sankar, Karthik; Jadhav, Aruna P Abstract: Nosodes and sarcodes are potentized preparations which are prepared according to homeopathic standards. Nosodes are prepared from inactivated diseased products of human, animal or vegetable origin or cultures of micro-organisms. In contrast, the source material for sarcodes comes from a healthy tissue, organ or secretion of humans or animals. As nosodes and sarcodes are prepared from body substance and discharge they have a peculiar affinity with the functions of the body and they are unique. Both nosodes and sarcodes act as prophylactics and can also be used for improvement of resistance, response to a remedy and for recuperation. The homeopathic nosodes can be used for treating residual infections (e.g.Bacillinum for tuberculosis) and as a prophylactic (e.g.Influenzium for swine flu) whereas sarcodes are used to help rebuild organs and tissues that may be diseased or malfunctioning (e.g. lymph, spleen).
