Re: materia medica help
from Murphy's homeopathic remedy guide:
Pharmacy
Grani. Granite. Murvey Granite from near Barna, Co. Galway, Ireland. Within granite there are three radioactive elements. Potassium 3-4% by weight gamma rays. Uranium1-10 ppm alpha, ' and gamma rays. Thorium10-50 ppm alpha, ' and gamma rays. Triturations. Historical dose: All potencies, low and high potencies.
History
Granite was first used as a medicine by ancient Egyptian physicians and it is mention in many of the medical scrolls. It has recently been proved in England by Nuala Eising. Connemara Granite of Ireland has one of the highest levels of radioactivity of the granites found in Britain and Ireland.
The pink granite has a particularly high level of radioactivity. Granite in Ireland is considered responsible for a higher rate of cancer and Down's syndrome in that country.
Eising obtained a sample of Granite by breaking through a rock, taking a piece from the center which was untouched by human hand. This was sent to the Galen Pharmacy and had it potentised to the 30c potency. This 30c was used by the provers.
The first word that virtually all the provers used was weakness. The weakness of Granite was at times a profound exhaustion, unable to move. Hard to get oneself out of bed. Drags oneself around the place, having to lie down, sleep often. At other times they experienced general weakness with no inclination to do anything, which at times felt pleasurable and "laid back".
They had occasional bursts of energy which would not last for long, or they had bursts of nervous high energy. This was combined with a profound introversion and withdrawal from everything and everyone. Planets: Saturn, Moon.

Re: materia medica help
Limestone burren (from the Burren limestone area of Ireland, county
Clare, west coast) is a remedy I've used well and which is documented
in Radar software.
Namaste,
Irene
