Adrenaline or Epinephrine is a neurotransmitter and a hormone. It plays an important role in your body’s “fight-or-flight” response. As a hormone, it’s made and released by our adrenal glands, which are hat-shaped glands that sit on top of each kidney. As a central nervous system neurotransmitter, it’s a chemical messenger that helps transmit nerve signals across nerve endings to another nerve cell, muscle cell or gland cell.

Epinephrine is part of our sympathetic nervous system, which is part of our body’s emergency response system to danger — the “fight-or-flight” response. Medically, the flight-or-flight response is known as the acute stress response.

Epinephrine is also called catecholamine, as are norepinephrine and dopamine. They’re given this name because of a certain molecule in its structure. As a hormone, epinephrine is made from norepinephrine inside of our adrenal gland.

Adrenaline or Epinephrine is the most commonly used allopathic medication in cardiac arrest, and is the only drug recommended by the allopathic cardiologists for all arrests regardless of cardiac rhythm, whereas in Homeopathy there are more than 14 different medicines for the same purpose.

The use of allopathic Adrenaline or Epinephrine in cardiac arrest has never been supported by rigorous scientific data. However, the role of epinephrine in cardiac arrest has only begun to be questioned in recent years.

In 2009 Norway, patients treated with adrenalin or epinephrine (allopathic) had decreased long-term survival rates and worse neurologic outcomes.

Australia in 2012 undertook a randomized placebo-controlled trial of epinephrine in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients. In this study, 601 patients were randomized, and the authors found increased rates of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival to hospital admission in the epinephrine group.

Arterio-sclerosis, Angina pectoris, chlorosis, Chronic-aortitis, Hemophilia, Hypotension, myocardial infarction. Stimulates sympathetic endings, notably the splanchnic area, causing constriction of the peripheral arterioles, resulting in a rise in blood pressure.

Vasoconstrictor; a most powerful and prompt allopathic astringent and hemostatic; invaluable in checking capillary hemorrhages, from all parts, where local or direct application is feasible: nose, ear, mouth, throat, larynx, stomach, rectum, uterus, bladder. Hemorrhagic condition – not due to defective coagulation of the blood. Complete bloodlessness, ischemia, may be induced with impunity.

Acute congestion of lungs, Asthma, Grave’s and Addison’s diseases, arteriosclerosis, chronic aortitis, angina pectoris, hemophilia chlorosis, hay fever, serum rashes, acute urticaria, angina and aortitis, sub-acute and chronic.

Sensation of thoracic constriction with anguish, with vertigo, nausea and vomiting. Abdominal pain. Shock or heart failure during anesthesia. Reduce capillary blood pressure.

Synthetic Adrenaline or Epinephrine is used to treat:

• Cardiac arrest/cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR): Epinephrine stimulates your heart.
• Eye surgery: Epinephrine helps keep your pupils dilated.
• Septic shock: Epinephrine increases your blood pressure.
• Asthma:Epinephrine opens airways and decreases airway spasms.
• Anaphylaxis: Epinephrinerelaxes airway muscles. It’s the first-response treatment for this severe, life-threatening allergic reaction.

Side effects of Adrenaline or Epinephrine as an allopathic medication

Side effects of Adrenaline or Epinephrine as an aerosol or injection that require medical attention include:

Aerosol

• Allergic reactions like skin rash, itching or hives, swelling of face, lips or tongue.
• Breathing problems.
• Chest pain.
• Fast heartbeat.
• Vomiting.
• High blood pressure.
• Trouble passing urine or change in the amount of urine.
• Trouble sleeping.

Injection

• Pain, tingling, numbness in hands and/or feet.
• Pain, redness, or irritation at the site where injected.
• Allergic reactions like skin rash, itching or hives, swelling of face, lips or tongue.
• Breathing problems.
• Chest pain.
• Fast heartbeat.
• Vomiting.

Health conditions result from low levels of epinephrine

Health conditions that result from low levels of epinephrine include:

• Sleeping problems.
• Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
• Changes in blood pressure, heart

What health conditions result from high levels of epinephrine?

Health conditions that result from high levels of epinephrine include:

• High blood pressure (hypertension).
• Rapid or irregular heartbeat.
• Excessive sweating.
• Cold or pale
• Severe headaches.
• Nervous feeling, jitters.
• Epinephrine overdose, which can lead to high blood pressure, stroke and death.
• Pheochromocytoma (adrenal gland tumor).

Saf and without any side effects uses of Adrenaline or Epinephrine!

Adrenaline or Epinephrine, as we now know that, is employed as a chemical messenger in the regulation of the activities of the body; in fact, its presence is essential to the activity of the sympathetic nerve. Adrenaline action on any part is the same as stimulation of the sympathetic nerve endings thereto.

Homeopathically local application (1: 1,000 solution) to mucous membranes promptly induces transient ischemia, seen in a blanching, persisting several hours from conjunctival instillation. Its action is very prompt, efficient, evanescent, owing to rapid oxidation and therefore practically harmless, unless too frequently repeated.

Arteries, hearts, supra-renal bodies and vasomotor system are prominently affected by its dilution (potency). The main action of Adrenaline is stimulation of the sympathetic endings, notably the splanchnic area, causing constriction of the peripheral arterioles, with resulting rise in blood pressure. This is especially observed in stomach, intestines; less in uterus, skin; nil in brain and lungs.

Furthermore, is noticed, slowing of pulse, (medullary vagus stimulation), and strengthening of heartbeat (increased myocardial contractility), resembling Digitalis; increased glandular activity, glycosuria; depression of respiratory center; contraction of muscular tissue of eye, uterus, vagina; relaxation of muscular tissue of stomach, intestines, bladder.

Its chief therapeutic use depends on its vasoconstriction action; therefore, a most powerful and prompt astringent and hemostatic; and invaluable in checking capillary hemorrhages, from all parts, where local or direct application is feasible: nose, ear, mouth, throat, larynx, stomach, rectum, uterus, bladder. Hemorrhagic condition is not due to defective coagulation of the blood. Complete bloodlessness, ischemia, may be induced with impunity. Locally, solutions (1: 10,000-1: 1,000) sprayed or applied on cotton have been very efficient in bloodless operations about the eye, nose, throat, and larynx.

Congestions of the ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses, also hay fever, have been markedly alleviated by warm spray of Adrenaline chloride, 1: 5,000. Here compare, Hepar Sulph 1x, which will start up secretions and so facilitate drainage. Werlhof’s disease, hypodermically, 1: 1,000. Externally, it has been used in neuritis, neuralgia, reflex pains, gout, rheumatism, as an ointment, 1-2 m of (1: 1,000) solution, along the nerve trunk at point of skin nearest its origin which could be reached.

Therapeutically (in Homeopathy), Adrenaline has been suggested in acute congestion of lungs, Asthma, Grave’s and Addison’s diseases, arterio-sclerosis, chronic aortitis, angina pectoris, hemophilia chlorosis, hay fever, serum rashes, acute urticaria, angina and of aortitis, sub-acute and chronic cases.

The symptom guiding to this is, Sensation of thoracic constriction with anguish with vertigo, nausea and vomiting have been produced by the drug. Abdominal pain. Shock or heart failure during anesthesia, as it causes a very prompt rise of blood pressure by its action on nerve endings in the vessel wall.

Homeopathically Adrenaline has been prescribed orally and in infinitesimal dose.

Dose – Hypodermically, 1-5 m (1: 1,000 solutions, as chloride) diluted in water. Internally, 5-30m of 1: 1,000 solutions.

Caution: On account of its affinity for oxygen, the drug easily decomposes in watery and dilute acid solutions. The solution must be protected from air and light. It must not be too frequently repeated, owing to cardiac and arterial lesions. For homeopathic use 2x to 6x attenuation.
