Carbo Vegetabilis
Vegetable Charcoal
For the bad effects of exhausting diseases, whether in young or old (Cinch., Phos., Psor.); cachetic persons whose vitality has become weakened or exhausted. Persons who have never fully recovered from the exhausting effects of some previous illness; asthma dates from measles or pertusis of childhood; indigestion from a drunken debauch; bad effects of a long ago injury; has never recovered from effects of typhoid (Psor.). Ailments: from quinine, especially suppressed intermittents; abuse of mercury, salt, salt meats; spoiled fish, meats, or fats; from getting overheated (Ant. c.). Bad effects from loss of vital fluids (Caust.); haemorrhage from any broken down condition of mucous membranes (Cinch., Phos.). Weakness of memory and slowness of thought. Epistaxis in daily attacks, for weeks, worse from exertion; face pale before as well as after a haemorrhage. Haemorrhage from any mucous outlet; in systems broken down, debilitated; blood oozes from weakened tissues; vital force exhausted. Hippocratic face; very pale, grayish-yellow, greenish, cold with cold sweat; after haemorrhage. Looseness of teeth, easily-bleeding gums. Patients crave things that make them sick; old topers crave whiskey or brandy; want clothing loose around abdomen. Weak digestion; simplest food disagrees; excessive accumulation of gas in stomach and intestines < lying down; after eating or drinking, sensation as if stomach would burst; effects of a debauch, late suppers, rich food. Eructations give temporary relief. Diseases of the venous system predominate (Sulph.); symptoms of imperfect oxidation (Arg. nit.). Deficient capillary circulation causes blueness of skin and coldness of extremities; vital powers nearly exhausted; desire to be constantly fanned. Hoarseness: < evenings; damp evening air; warm, wet weather; fails when exerted (< morning, Caust.). Awakens often from cold limbs and suffers from cold knees at night (Apis). Frequent, involuntary, cadaverous-smelling stools, followed by burning; soft stool voided with difficulty (Alum.). In the last stages of disease, with copious cold sweat, cold breath, cold tongue, voice lost, this remedy may save a life.
Relations: Complementary: Kali carb. Want of susceptabilty to well-selected remedies (Opium, Val.). Compare: Cinch., Plumb., in neglected pneumonia, especially in "old toppers;" Ant. t. in threatened paralysis from inability to expectorate loosened mucus. Opium: with lack of reaction after well-selected remedies fail to permanently improve (Val.). Phos. in easily bleeding ulcers. Puls., bad effects from fat food and pastry. Sulph., acrid-smelling menstrual flow and erysipelas of mammae.
Aggravation: From butter, pork, fat food; abuse of quinine, bark and mercury; from singing or reading aloud; in warm, damp weather.
Amelioration: From eructation; being fanned.

Disintegration and imperfect oxidation is the keynote of this remedy. The typical Carbo patient is sluggish, fat and lazy and has a tendency to chronicity in his complaints. Blood seems to stagnate in the capillaries, causing blueness, coldness, and ecchymosis. Body becomes blue, icy-cold. Bacteria find a rich soil in the nearly lifeless stream and sepsis and typhoidal state ensues.
A lowered vital power from loss of fluids, after drugging; after other diseases; in old people with venous congestions; states of collapse in cholera, typhoid; these are some of the conditions offering special inducements to the action of Carbo veg. The patient may be almost lifeless, but the head is hot; coldness, breath cool, pulse imperceptible, oppressed and quickened respiration, and must have air, must be fanned hard, must have all the windows open. This is a typical state for Carbo veg. The patient faints easily, is worn out, and must have fresh air. Hćmorrhage from any mucous surface. Very debilitated. Patient seems to be too weak to hold out. Persons who have never fully recovered from the effects of some previous illness.

- Vital force nearly exhausted; complete collapse.
- Blood stagnates in the capillaries; venous turgescence; surface cold and blue.
- Hæmorrhages (nose, stomach, gums, bowels, bladder or any mucous surface), with indescribable paleness of the surface of the body.
- Mucous membranes break down, become spongy, bleed ulcerate and become putrid.
- Excessive flatulence, pressing upward, stomach and abdomen.
- Hunger for oxygen, decarbonized blood; cries, "fan me, fan me hard!"
- Anæmic, especially after acute diseases, which have greatly depleted the patients; chronic effects.
- Persons who have never fully recovered from the exhausting effects of some previous illness; has never recovered from effects of typhoid, weak digestion; the simplest food disagrees; eructations give temporary relief.
- Bad effects from loss of vital fluids (Caust.); hæmorrhage from any broken-down condition of mucous membrane.
- Looseness of teeth, easily bleeding gums.
- In the last stages of disease, with copious cold sweat, cold breath, cold tongue, voice lost, this remedy may save a life.

- Persons who have never recovered from effects of some previous illness or injury; suppression by Quinine or drugging; typhoid or yellow fever.
- China is its great complementary.
- The most marked and valuable place for this remedy is in its power to relieve complaints from excessive flatulence in the stomach. "Great accumulations of flatulence in the stomach." "Stomach feels full and tense from flatulence." Great pain in stomach on account of flatulence, worse especially on lying down, should always call attention to this remedy.
- In the chest there is sometimes "burning as from glowing coal" and again, "weak, fatigued feeling in chest," where the choice may fall between it and Phosphoric acid, Stannum and Sulphur.
