Abdominal Pain (Colic)

Sudden, agonising, gripping pain in the abdomen is called


abdominal
colic.
Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of these medicines match with
most of
your symptoms:
Colocynth 30 : Very severe, agonising pain in the abdomen,
especially in

the evening from 4 to 9 p.m. The pain comes in paroxysms,


becoming so terrible every few minutes that the patient bends
forward and twists and turns in bed to get relief. Discharge of
gas, either from the mouth or the anus, relieves pain.

Dioscorea 30 : Violent colic due to indigestion, occurring in


regular

paroxysms, as if the intestines were grasped and twisted by a


powerful hand. Pain gets worse from bending double or lying
down but becomes less on standing erect or bending backward.

Mag phos 30 : Severe, unbearable pain in the abdomen that


comes in
paroxysmal attacks. The pain compels the victim to loosen
clothes and bend forward. Pressing or massaging the abdomen or
applying heat to the abdomen. relieves pain. Discharge of gas
does not relieve pain.

Mag phos should be used when Colocynth fails to relieve


abdominal pain.
Plumbum 30 : Excessive pain in the abdomen from indigestion
and

obstinate constipation. The pain starts at the navel and then


spreads in all directions. The victim feels that the stomach
(abdominal wall) is being pulled by a string towards the
backbone.

Notes:
1. Take a few pills of the selected medicin every 10-15 minutes,
till
the pain subsides.

Acidity (Hyperacidity; Burning in the stomach)

Excessive intake of non-vegetarian, spicy or fried foods and


mental tension give rise to hyperacidity. If the condition is not
treated in time, an ulcer may develop in the stomach.

Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of these medicines closely
match with
most of your symptoms:
Argentum nitricum 30 : Burning and pain in the stomach with
severe

belching and flatulence (gas). There is a sensation of splinter in


the stomach. There is a great liking for sugar, sweets and salt.
However, consumption of sweets causes diarrhoea. Diarrhoea is
also caused by undue apprehension just before embarking upon
an important activity.

Carbo veg 30 : Acidity from consumption of alcohol, coffee,


meat and

fish, causing incessant sour or rancid eructations. So much gas


accumulates in the stomach that the victim feels the abdomen
will burst. There is an intolerance of tight clothing around the
abdomen.

Robinia 30 : An excellent remedy for severe burning in the


stomach,

associated with pain in the forehead. Intensely sour eructations


occur, frequently culminating into vomiting of a sour fluid. The
whole body and the stools smell sour. Indeed, Robinia is the
remedy of first choice in the treatment of acidity.

Notes:
1.Consume a simple, blanddiet.

2. Discontinue the medicine as soon as about fifty percent


improvement occurs. Restart the medicine if symptoms again or
reappear later.

which is
the result of a spasmodic narrowing of the respiratory passages.
Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of these medicines matches with

sinking from a severe attack of breathlessness.

Ipecacuanha 30 : An attack of asthma especially in winter,


preceded by

severe nausea and vomiting; soon there is violent constriction in


the throat and the chest, wheezing and dry cough leading to
suffocation; persistent nausea (not relieved even after vomiting)
and thirstlessness confirm the choice of Ipecac.

Nux vomica 30 : An attack of asthma after digestive upset;


prolonged

breathlessness from midnight till morning; shallow, oppressive


breathing with dry cough; with asthma, there is bursting
headache and gripping pain in the stomach; frequent, ineffectual

medicine does not help, consult a competent homoeopathic
doctor.

Backache (Lumbago), Sciatica

back and causing inexplicable mental irritability. Backache
worsens from
application of dry heat. However, cold applications relieve pain.

Burning or Painful Urination

A swelling (inflammation) of the urinary bladder, the prostate or


the urethra may cause burning or pain while passing urine,
combined with a sense of urgency; the urine may flow out
intermittently or drop-wise.

Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of these medicines match with
most of
your symptoms:
Aconite 30 : Severe burning and pain, especially at the
beginning of
urination, accompanied by great fear (the patient feels he is
about to die).
The symptoms are worse at night.
Apis 30 : Scanty, frequent and painful urination, with great
urgency (can
scarcely retain the urine for a moment). Urine flows out drop-
wise after much straining. While passing out, the urine severely
scalds the passage; especially the last drop burns and smarts.

which flows
out drop by drop. The urinary organs are very sensitive to
pressure or
motion.
Berberis vulgaris 30 : Frequent slow urination with burning pain

sediment.

Cannabis sativa 30 : There is frequent or constant desire to pass


urine.

pressure that the victim keeps his legs wide apart while walking.
Cantharis 30 : Constant urge to pass urine, but only a few drops
pass

out at a time. There is such violent, cutting or stabbing (as from


a knife) pain in the bladder region that the person screams while
passing each drop. Drinking coffee or cold water worsens the
problem; warm applications to the bladder region seem to help.

Nux vomica 30 : There is frequent, ineffectual urge for


urination. Urine,
passing out in drops, causes itching, irritation and burning pain,
which
even extends to the genital organs and the legs.
Sarsaparilla 30 : Urine passes out in a thin, feeble stream. There
is

severe, almost unbearable pain at the conclusion of urination


(like Apis, Berberis). The urine dribbles while sitting but passes
more freely while standing.

Summary of indications:

Sudden, acute problem: Aconite, Belladonna


Burning/pain at the beginning of urination: Aconite


Burning/pain at the time of passing urine: Belladona, Berberis,


Cantharis, Nux v

Cannabis, Sarsaparilla

Burning/pain even when not urinating: Berberis, Staphisagria


Notes:
1. It is desirable to get the urine analaysed to determine the
presence
or absence of micro-organisms, blood or other abnormalities.
2. For further guidance about the dose and repetition of the
selected
medicine.

3. Discontinue the medicine as soon as about fifty per cent


improvement has occurred. Restart the medicine if symptoms
worsen again or reappear later.
Chicken Pox

Chicken pox is a highly infectious viral disease of children


characterised by skin-rashes which appear in crops, first on the
chest and the back and then spreading to the face, the scalp and
the limbs. There is severe itching of the affected skin. Thick
crusts soon form on the rashes and are finally shed off.

Homeopathic Treatment

Chicken pox can be prevented by giving your child two or three


doses of Variolinum 200 or Malandrinum 200 on successive
days. This is, indeed, a good idea if cases of chicken pox are
seen in the neighbourhood or your child's school.

However, if your child has already contracted an infection of


chicken pox, give him one of the below-given remedies whose
symptoms closely match.

Aconite 30 : Sudden onset of acute symptoms accompanied by


undue

fear, causing anguish and restlessness. During fever, the child


demands large quantities of cold water (like Dulcamara,
Mercurius) and likes to be in open air
Antimony tart 30 : Rashes more on genitals, anus and back,
forming

painful crusts. Constant drowsiness with an irresistible desire to


sleep, a craving for apples and citrus fruits, a dislike for milk
and a desire to be in cool, open air (like Aconite) are other
pointers to this remedy.

Dulcamara 30 : Rashes, especially on the face, the scalp and the


arms,

without any fever. Scratching of the skin causes intense burning


which is relieved by a warm bath but aggravated by a cold bath.
Milky whiteness of urine is another feature of this medicine.

Kali mur 6 : Rashes and pustules having thick, white contents


and
converting into dry, white scales call for this remedy. The
tongue has a
grayish white coating.
Mercurius sol 30 : Rashes and pustules with intense itching and
pain,

worse at night from the warmth of bed. The discharge from


pustules, the breath and profuse perspiration, all have an
offensive smell. An important feature is acute thirst for large
quantities of cold water (like Aconite, Dulcamara).

Rhus tox 30 : Rashes with much swelling, burning and itching


causing
excessive restlessness. Itching and burning are relieved by warm
applications/bath. There is an aversion to open air.

Colitis
Colitis means an inflammation of the large intestine.
Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of these medicines match with
most of
your symptoms:
Arsenic 30 : Pain in the abdomen, especially at midnight from
12-2 a.m.

The stools are dark, offensive and loose, with a cadaveric odour;
burning in the anus and great prostration during and after stools.
There is extreme mental restlessness and fear, the victim feeling
he is about to die.

Lachesis 30 : Ulcerative colitis with offensive, bloody stools.


Excessive
sensitiveness to touch, an intolerance of tight clothing and a
jealous/suspicious nature are other pointers to this remedy.
Mere cor 30 : Ulcerative colitis with copious, offensive bloody
and slimy

stools. There is severe, colicky pain in the abdomen before,


during and after the stools. Other distinguishing features include:
intense thirst and a moist, swollen tongue.

Pbos 30 : Colitis with burning in the abdomen and the anus, and
stools
containing bright red blood. An oversensitive nature and a
craving for cold
foods/drinks are other pointers to this medicine.
Notes:

1. Discontinue the medicine as soon as about fifty per cent


improvement occurs. Restart the medicine if symptoms worsen
again or reappear later.

Common Cold; Blocked Nose

Common cold is considered a viral infection of the inner surface


of the nose, characterised by sneezing and discharge of a watery
or thick fluid, which also blocks the nose. Though not a serious
disease, cold causes a lot of discomfort, misery and
embarrassment to the sufferer.

cold with

much sneezing, pain at the root of the nose and/or forehead,


scanty nasal discharge and blockage of nostrils; face is red and

air; the cold may be accompanied by irritating/painful cough
which compels the person to grasp the throat.

Arsenic 30 : Cold from eating cold foods, icecream or ice in the


winter or

from sea-bathing; thin, watery acidic discharge from the nose


which is less indoors but increases in open air (unlike Aconite,
Allium cepa, Euphrasia, Pulsatilla); there is inexplicable
prostration, fear and anguish.
Belladonna 30 : Sudden attack of cold from exposure to summer
sun

(like Mere sol), characterised by fluent, blood-stained discharge


from the nose and a throbbing headache; the face is red and hot
(like Aconite) but the person feels better in a warm room (unlike
Aconite).

Euphrasia 30 : Profuse, bland discharge from the nose and


severe acrid

larynx, causing 'day time cough'; the person feels better in open
air (like Aconite, Allium cepa, Pulsatilla).

Gelsemium 30 : An attack of cold in cold, rainy weather, which


comes on

gradually; there may be symptoms of influenza like dizziness,

Natrum mur 30 : An attack of cold commencing with violent


sneezing
and followed by fluent discharge (resembling white of an egg)
from the nose; the person feels better in open air and by cold
bathing. A craving for salt, greasy face and a weeping
disposition would confirm Natrum mur.

Nux vomica 30 : An attack of cold in cold, dry weather; the


nose runs

during the day and in open air but becomes dry or blocked at
night; a desire to be in a closed room with body wen-covered
and frequent ineffectual desire for stools confirm the choice of
Nux vomica.

Mercurius sol 30 : An attack of cold in damp weather or from


wandering

in strong sunshine (like Belladonna), beginning with much


sneezing; acrid, thick, greenishyellow, pus-like nasal discharge,
more at night. Intense thirst for large quantities of cold water
and profuse, offensive perspiration confirm the choice of
Mercurius.

Pulsatilla 30 : An attack of cold after eating rich, fatty food; the


nasal
discharge is thick, greenish-yellow but bland (non-burning); a
desire to be in open air, thirstlessness and a mild, weeping
nature confirm the choice of Pulsatilla.

Notes:
1. Discontinue the medicine as soon as about fifty per cent
improvement occurs.

Conjunctivitis
Conjunctivitis means an inflammation (swelling) of the most
superficial
membrane covering the eye. It is characterised by redness of and
discharge from the eyes, causing their agglutination in the
morning.
Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of the below-given remedies
match with
most of your symptoms:

the eyes.

The tears, which flow out constantly, are acrid, causing burning
of the eyes. Simultaneously, the nose also waters. But this fluid
is bland (non- burning). Warm applications to the eyes seem to
worsen the problem.

Notes:
1.Redness and pain, without any discharge from the eyes
excludes
conjunctivitis and signifies some other (perhaps serious)eye-
problem, warranting the attention of an eye-doctor.
2.If redness and discharge do not diminish in a day or two,
consult an
eye-doctor without further delay

Constipation
Constipation is the natural consequence of leading a sedentary,
irregular,
modern life.
Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of these remedies match with
most of
your symptoms:
Alumina 30 : Constipation due to dryness and inactivity of the
intestines.

There is no desire to evacuate the bowels till there is a large


accumulation of stools. The stool, even though soft, requires
much straining to be expelled; it adheres to the rectum like clay.

most of
your symptoms:
Aconite 30 : Sudden, acute attack of cough from exposure to
dry, cold

whole

body and brings a sensation of tightness in the chest; a bout of


cough is excited by talking, laughing, drinking or lying on the
left side (reverse of Mercurius); cough less after sleep and from

improvement occurs. Restart the medicine if symptoms worsen
again or reappear later.

by slimy, bloody, very offensive stool which corrodes the anus.


Even after the stools, satisfaction eludes the victim and
abdominal pain persists. There is trembling of the body, profuse-
offensive perspiration and intense thirst for large amounts of cold
water. The tongue is thick and moist, showing imprint of teeth.
Phos 30 : Severe burning in the abdomen especially in the
morning

followed by profuse, loose stools. The victim feels as if the anus


remains wide open. An oversensitive nature and a craving for
cold drinks/foods (ice-cream) are other pointers to this medicine.

Podophyllum 30 : Loud gurgling and abdominal pain in the


morning,
followed by profuse, painless, foul-smelling and multi-coloured
loose
stools with headache.
Puls 30 : Abdominal pain from gas, especially at night, followed
by
greenish yellow, watery and slimy stools. A weeping nature and
thirstlessness are other features of this medicine
Notes:

1. Discontinue the medicine as soon as about fifty per cent


improvement occurs. Restart the medicine if symptoms worsen
again or reappear later.

Ear-Pain
Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of these medicines match with
most of
your symptoms:
Belladonna 30 : Sudden throbbing pain, especially in the right
ear, that

is so acute as to drive the victim crazy. Not only the affected


ear but the whole face becomes red and hot. Hearing becomes
abnormally acute. The ear is so sensitive that the victim does not
allow anybody to touch it.

Chamomilla 30 : Severe pain and ringing in the ear driving the


victim

frantic. The affected ear feels numb and stopped. The patient,
usually a child, constantly cries from pain and becomes quiet
only when carried in an arm; warm applications worsen pain.

Hepar sulph 30 : Throbbing pain in the ear, with discharge of


offensive

pus and deafness. Oversensitiveness, a desire for warm clothing


and profuse foul/sour smelling perspiration are other features of
this medicine. Warm applications to the affected ear are
soothing.
Merc sol 30 : Severe pain in the ear, especially in the evening
and at

night, with thick, foetid, yellowish or bloody discharge. Pain is


worse from warmth. A trembling body, constant profuse
perspiration and intense thirst for large quantities of cold water
are other pointers to this remedy.

Eczema

Eczema is considered an allergic disorder of skin characterised


by patches of redness with itching, burning, vesicle-formation
and oozing. The skin- patches appear black, raised and
thickened.

Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of these medicines match with
most of
your symptoms:
Arsenic 30 : Black eczematous patches with itching and burning
pain.

The burning increases on scratching the skin but is relieved by


hot applications. From the patches exudes a fluid with foul,
cadaveric smell. Severe mental agony and physical debility are
other features.
Graphites 30 : Eczematous patches on bends of joints, groins, on
the

scalp and behind the ears. On these patches occur small vesicles
which readily burst open to discharge a thin but very sticky
fluid. In general, the skin is unhealthy, rough, hard, dry and
cracked, with almost constant itching, worst at night and during
menstrual periods. A striking feature of this medicine is sad
nature with a tendency to weep on hearing music.

Petroleum 30 : Eczema, especially of the scalp, in winter. There


is

violent itching which forces the person to scratch off the skin.
Thereafter, thick, yellowish crusts form on those parts. In general
the skin is unhealthy, dry and cracked with profuse foul-smelling
perspiration. All skinproblems diminish in dry, hot weather
(summer).

Psorinum 30 : Eczema of the scalp, checks and ears with violent


itching

and soreness, which becomes worse on bathing and from


warmth. Incessant scratching leaves the skin hard and thickened.
Perspiration is absent or minimal. Inexplicable general debility
and chilliness (requiring warm clothes even in summer) are other
features of this remedy.

Rhus tox 30 : Eczema, especially of the genitals, occurring


during the

monsoon or winter. There are yellowish vesicles on the affected


patches of skin with much itching and burning. The person is
restless, hardly able to keep still.

Sulphur 30 : Eczema, with severe itching and burning causing


an
aversion to bathing and washing. An intolerable hunger at 11
a.m. and a
disinclination to keep standing are other pointers to this
medicine.
Notes:

1. Discontinue the medicine when about fifty per cent improvement is


felt. Restart the medicine if symptoms worsen again or reappear
later.

2. Resist the temptation to apply soothing creams, lotions or


ointments to the affected skin.

Fever
Fever is a symptom, not a disease. The cause of fever should be
sought and treated. However, in early fever, when it is not
possible to diagnose the actual cause, one of the following
medicines may be tried, if the symptoms match.

Homeopathic Treatment
Ferrum phos 30 : Fever, especially at night or in the early
morning, with
headache which is relieved by cold applications. Vomiting of
undigested
food is another feature of this medicine.
Pyrogen 30 : For rapidly rising fever with intense restlessness.
There is
profuse, hot perspiration, which however, does not cause a fall
in
temperature. The bed feels too hard. All discharges are horribly
offensive.
Notes:
1. In case of very high fever, a dose of the selected medicine
may be
repeated every fifteen minutes.
2. If there is an obvious cause of fever (e.g., colds, a respiratory
infection, sore throat, sinusitis, etc.), treat the cause.

Flu (Influenza)
Flu is a viral disease characterised by fever, malaise and body-
ache.
Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of these medicines match with
most of
your symptoms:
Eupatorium perf 30 : For fever, whose onset is heralded by chill
and an
insatiable thirst. There is a feeling of soreness and pain in the
whole body,
as if beaten up. Profuse sweating relieves all pains except
headache.
Gelsemium 30 : Influenza, with a feeling offatigue and soreness
in the
whole body. Dullness of the mind, dizziness, sleepiness,
trembling and
thirstlessness are other features of this medicine.
Influenzium 30 : A medicine to be considered when none of the
medicines seems matching.
Rhus tox 30 : Influenza with a sore, beaten-up feeling in the
body,
causing restlessness. Everything on which the patient lies seems
too hard. The patient is highly sensitive to open air and feels
better when covered up. The tongue tip is bright red.

Notes:
Discontinue the medicine when about fifty percent improvement
occurs.

Gouty Arthritis

Gout is a metabolic disorder characterised by a deposition of


uric acid salts (especially sodium biurate) in connective tissues,
like cartilage of joint/s. In an acute attack, the affected joint
becomes red, swollen and excruciatingly painful. The joint of the
big toe is most commonly affected

but other small joints (of fingers, ankles, wrists) are not immune
to the
disorder.
Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of these remedies match with
most of
your symptoms:
Aconite 30 : For a sudden, violent attack of gout giving rise to
restlessness and acute fear, the patient feeling he is about to die.
Pain in the affected joint is so acute that the person tosses about
in agony, not being able to bear even light touch or pressure.

Arnica 30 : For gout in which the affected joint develops a sore,


beaten-
up sensation. The patient cannot tolerate the joint being touched.
Belladonna 30 : The affected joint is red, swollen, hot and
excruciatingly
painful, sensitive to least touch, pressure or motion. Rest and
cold
compresses seem to relieve pain.
Bryonia 30 : Gout with red, swollen and hot joint which is
exceedingly

painful. Pain gets aggravated with slightest motion, forcing the


patient to keep still. Symptoms get worse from warmth (weather,
food/drinks) but better by absolute rest, firmly bandaging the
joint, pressing (massaging) the joint or by lying on it.

Colchicum 30 : For gout that moves from one joint to another.


Pain is so
severe that the patient can't bear even light touch. Joint-pain is
worse by slightest motion (like Bryonia), at night and in cold,
damp weather but better by rest and application of dry heat.

Eupatorium perl 30 : Indicated for gouty arthritis of left great


toe that

recurs every third or seventh day and is accompanied by


headache. There is a feeling of soreness and broken bones in the
whole body. The joint- pain is worse from motion, pressure or
exposure to cold air.

Lycopodium 30 : For chronic gout mainly affecting joints of the


right

side of the body (e.g., right big toe). There is aching pain in the
affected joint, worse in the evening from 4 to 8 p.m. Pain is
also worse after a period of inactivity (e.g., on awakening from
sleep) and from warmth or pressure but better from cold
applications and movement of the affected joint.

Urtica urens 30 : For gout from eating shell-fish. Useful in acute


gout

because it facilitates elimination of uric acid from the body.


Gout is associated with violently itching skin-rashes. Sometimes,
joint-pain and skin-rashes occur alternately. Joint-pain is worse
from touch, pressure and cold applications.

Notes:

1. Discontinue the medicine as soon as about fifty percent


improvement has taken place. Restart the medicine if symptoms
worsen again or reappear later.

Headache
Headache occurs from a variety of causes, common among
which are
mental tension, colds, sinusitis and eyestrain.
Homeopathic Treatment
A few medicines have been suggested for each variety of
headache. The
reader should confirm the suitability of the medicine by referring
to its

general symptoms.
Headache from colds: Allium cepa, Sticta
Headache from sinusitis: Belladonna, Kali bich
Headache from heat of sun: Belladonna, Glonoine
Headache from mental tension; Nux vomica
Headache from constipation; Aloe, Bryonia, Nux vomica
Headache from eye-strain: Ruta
Headache from loss of sleep: Nux vomica
Migraine headache: Belladonna, Iris, Nux vomica

Indigestion
Check if most symptoms of any of the below-given remedies
match with
most of your symptoms:
Anacardium 30: Indigestion from sedentary habits and eating in
a hurry
without proper chewing. Extreme forgetfulness and an irresistible
desire
to curse and swear are other features of this medicine.
Carbo veg 30 : Even simple foods disagree, causing excessive
gas, which
accumulates in the upper abdomen. Belching and passing flatus
gradually
relieve the discomfort.
Lycopodium 30 : Indigestion from lack of physical exercise with
an
accumulation of gas in the lower abdomen especially from 4 to
8 p.m.
Constant sour belching, often relieved by warm drinks. There is
intense hunger, but only a few morsels fill up the stomach.
Craving for sweets and warm foods / drinks is another feature of
this remedy.

Nux v 30 : Indigestion from consuming an excess of tea, coffee,


alcohol

and leading an irregular life. There is a sensation of fullness in


the stomach and nausea. The victim feels that voluntary vomiting
will relieve his discomfort. An oversensitive nature, frequent
ineffectual desire for passing stools and a tendency to catch
colds are other pointers to this medicine.

Puls 30 : Indigestion, especially of rich, fatty foods. There is


pain in the
stomach, which shifts from one spot to another. A weeping
nature and
thirstlessness are other features of this remedy.
Notes:

1. Discontinue the medicine when about fifty per cent improvement


occurs. Restart the medicine if symptoms worsen again or reappear
later.

Insomnia (Sleeplessness)
Mental tension, worry, excitement, lack of physicalfatigue,
adverse weather, tight clothing, uncomfortable mattress and
drinking tea/coffee all can lead toinsomnia and sleeplessness.
Indigestion and gas-trouble can also drive sleep away. Besides,
sleep has a tendency to gradually diminish with advancing age.

Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of the below-given medicines
match with
most of your symptoms:
Arsenic 30 : Useful for sleeplessness from anxiety and fear (of
death);

the person just cannot fall asleep from 12 to 2 a.m.;


sleeplessness causes undue prostration; the person likes to sleep
in 'head-high (semi- recumbent)' position.

Coffea 30: Useful to treat sleeplessness due to excitement,


especially
from joyous ideas (from grief: Nat m); light sleep with almost
constant
movement of the body, especially after 3 a.m.
Gelsemium 30 : For sleeplessness from physical exhaustion
and/or
excessive thinking; the person is drowsy, yet cannot fall asleep.
Other general features include: a nervous, apprehensive nature,
thirstlessness and trembling of the body.

Nux vomica 30 : For sleeplessness from abuse of stimulants like


tea,

coffee or alcohol; sleeplessness from lack of physical fatigue due


to sedentary life-style; cannot sleep after 3 a.m. until towards
morning; awakens feeling tired and wretched; other general
features include: highly irritable and sensitive nature; frequent,
ineffectual desire for stools; aversion to cold air/climate.

Involuntary Urination (Bedwetting; Eneuresis)


Infants commonly pass urine in bed during sleep. It becomes a
matter of

concern, however, if an infant continues to do so even after


attaining an age of three years. In adults, involuntary urination
may be caused by a neurological problem.

Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of these medicines match with
most of
your symptoms:
Benzoic acid 30 : For bed-wetting of delicate infants or
dribbling urine of
old men with enlarged prostate. The urine has a dark brown
colour and a
very strong, repulsive odour.
Causticum 30: Involuntary urination when laughing, coughing,
sneezing

or blowing the nose (compare Pulsatilla). Involuntary urination


of infants at night during first sleep (like Sepia). The problem
improves on its own in the rainy season but is worse in clear
fine weather.

Equisetum 30 : Involuntary profuse urination in infants, under


the
influence of a frightening dream. The child may also complain
of a dull
pain in the bladder, which intensifies at the close of urination.
Nux voimca 30 : Dribbling of urine in young men from loss of
control

over the bladder after consuming intoxicating drinks. There is


frequent urge to pass urine but only a few drops come out
causing irritation and pain. The problem is worse during winter
and summer but improves during the rains.
Pulsatilla 30 : Involuntary urination in sleep, while coughing or
passing
flatus (gas) (compare Causticum); more likely to occur if the
person has
consumed rich, fatty food the previous evening.
Sepia 30 : Involuntary urination of small girls during first sleep
(compare
Causticum). The urine is offensive and stains clothes because of
a red
sediment.
Silicea 30 : Involuntary urination especially during no-moon or
full-moon
nights. Nocturnal eneuresis in children with worms in intestines.
Sulphur 30 : Involuntary passage of a large quantity of urine at
night by
an untidy infant, who has a dislike for bathing. Eneuresis is
precipitated
by weather-changes but generally disappears during summer.
Notes:

1. Discontinue the medicine as soon as about fifty per cent


improvement is felt. Restart the medicine if sYmptoms worsen
again or reappear later.
Jaundice

Jaundice is a disorder caused by liver-dysfunction and


characterised by a yellow discoloration of the skin, nails, eyes,
mucousmembranes and excretions.

Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of the below-given remedies
match with
most of your symptoms:
Carduus marianus 30 : Diminished appetite, bitter taste in the
mouth,
nausea, bilious vomiting, bright yellow hard stools and pain in
the liver
region are features of this medicine.
Chelidonium majus 30 : Dirty yellow eyes; large, yellow tongue
with

imprint of teeth; nausea relieved by drinking hot water; desire


for hot foods/drinks; dark yellow urine foaming like beer; dry,
hard ball-like, creamish stools; pain in the liver region (and
back, near the lower tip of scapula) are important features of this
medicine.
Chionanthus 30 : Sickening, dull headache; yelloweyes; tongue
with a
thick yellow fur; dark urine and light coloured pasty stools are
features of
this medicine.
Myrica 30 : Severe jaundice with bronze-yellow skin, dull
headache on

waking in the morning, nausea followed by vomiting of a thick


tenacious fluid and excessive gas which is constantly discharged
when walking or trying to evacuate bowels are the features of
this medicine.

Notes:
1.Taking complete rest and consuming a high carbohydrate,
low-fat
diet are very important.
2.Discontinue the medicine when about fifty per cent
improvement
occurs. 89+

Kidney Stone (Renal Calculus); Renal Colic (Pain)

Calcium salts, struvite, uric acid or cystine may form stone/s in


akidney. If very small, stones may pass into an ureter and out of
the body unnoticed; if too large to pass into an ureter, they
remain in the kidney causing mild pain in the loins and/or
infection; if a medium-sized stone enters the ureter, it gradually
works its way down to the bladder causing severe friction and
thereby pain, called renal colic. This pain is wave-like and of a
stabbing nature, which starts when the stone moves and stops
when the stone stops moving.

Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of these remedies match with
most of
your symptoms:
Berberis vulgaris 30 : For left-sided renal colic, with severe
cutting

pains starting from left kidney and then descending in a wave-


like manner into the left ureter, the urinary bladder and the
urethra. There is a bubbling, sore sensation in the kidney-region
(loins). The urine is bloody, with thick, jelly-like sediment. The
patient prefers to rest because jerky movements bring on or
worsen pain.

Cantharis 30 : Violent, cutting or stabbing pain (in the bladder


region),
which shoots off in different directions. There is a constant urge
to pass urine, but only a few drops pass out each time, causing
such pain that the patient screams. The urine is bloody,
containing thick, jelly-like mucous. Drinking coffee or cold
water worsens pain but warm applications help.

Lycopodium 30 : For right-sided renal colic, with severe pain in


the

region of the right kidney and the right ureter, at the beginning
of urination. There is no pain once the urination is over. Urine
contains sand- like, red sediment. Attacks of colic usually occur
from 4 to 8 p.m.

Ocimum 30 : Again for right-sided renal colic with cramps in


the loins.
Urine has musk-like odour and contains sand-like red sediment.
Ocimum
should especially be considered for stones of uric-acid salts.
Pareira brava 30 : Constant urge to urinate. Urine flows out after
great

straining and only when the person goes on his knees, pressing
the head against the floor. There is great pain in the bladder
region, which goes down into the thighs during efforts to
urinate.

Sarsaparilla 30 : For right-sided renal colic, the pain shooting


downwards from the right kidney (like Lycopodium). There is
severe

unbearable pain at the conclusion of urination just as the urine


ceases to flow (like Berberis). The urine only dribbles while
sitting but passes more freely when standing. Urine contains
sand-like, white sediment.

Notes:

1. Cultivate a habit of consuming a lot of water and other fluids.


This facilitates the working of kidneys. Cut down the intake of
high- calcium foods.

2. Discontinue the medicine as soon as about fifty per cent


improvement has occurred. Restart the medicine if symptoms
worsen again or reappear later

Leucoderma (White Patches on the Skin)

Leucoderma is a disorder characterised by white patches on the


skin due to loss of skin-pigment (colour). Some cases of
leucoderma have been helped by homoeopathic medication.
Homeopathic Treatment
Any one medicine from Arsenic 30, Selenium 30 or Sepia 30 is
selected on
the basis of general symptoms.

In absence of clear indications, Ars sulph flavum 30 can be tried


over a period of about three months. A diminition in the size of
white patches or their movement downward along the body can
be considered as signs of improvement

Leucorrhoea (White Sischarge)

Leucorrhoea is a common feminine disorder characterised by a


discharge of thick white fluid from the vagina. The discharge of
only a small quantity of fluid may be considered normal, but
flow of excessive and foulsmelling fluid is a sign of fungal
infection of the vagina or theute rus.

Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of these remedies match with
most of
your symptoms:
Alumina 30 : Whitish-yellow leucorrhoea, only during the day
time,
which is acrid (burning) and so copious as to run down to the
heels. It stops for some time after a cold bath but then starts
again. Other important features include a craving for indigestible
things like chalk and an obstinate constipation (even soft stools
come out only after much straining).

Borax 30 : Profuse, acrid, very hot leucorrhoea, as if warm


water were
flowing out of the vagina. This white discharge continues
throughout the
interval between two menes.
Calcarea carb 30 : Milky, acrid leucorrhoea just before the
menses,

causing itching and burning of the genital organs. Other


important features of this remedy which is also useful to treat
leucorrhoea of young fat girls include - profuse, sour sweating,
especially of the head during sleep (wetting the pillow) and a
craving for eggs and indigestible things (like Alumina).

Hydrastis 30 : Foul-smelling, yellowish, thick, ropy leucorrhoea


just after
the menses, causing burning and itching of the genital organs.
The leucorrhoea is so viscid sometimes, as to hang from the
vagina in the form of strings.

Kreosote 30 : Leucorrhoea between the menses (like Borax),


which is
yellowish, foul-smelling and corrosive, and stains and stiffens the
underclothes like starch. Leucorrhoea is worse in the winter.
Pulsatilla 30 : Very thick (creamy) and acrid leucorrhoea which
corrodes

the genital organs. The burning in the genitals improves with


cold applications. Other important features of this remedy
include: mild, weepy nature, desire for open air and
thirstlessness.

Sepia 30 : Greenish yellow leucorrhoea just before the menses


(like

Calcarea carb) which causes itching and soreness of the genital


organs. There is a bearing-down sensation in the pelvic region,
forcing the lady to keep the legs crossed, lest everything escape
out of the vagina. The lady is weepy (like Pulsatilla) but not
mild; rather she is nervous, irritable and indifferent (even to her
familymembers).
Thuja 30 : Profuse, thick, greenish leucorrhoea with pain in the
left ovary
and groin. Menses scanty and delayed. Vagina extremely
sensitive,
preventing

Malaria
Malaria is a periodic fever, whose onset is heralded by a chill
(shivering).
Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of these medicines match with
most of
your symptoms:
Arsenic 30 : Malaria, with fever paroxysms either at mid-day
(12-2
p.m.) or midnight (12-2 p.m.). There is weakness, malaise,
headache and
vertigo. During the chill stage, the nails and the lips burn; but
there is no

thirst. During the heat stage there is a thirst for hot water. The
fever ends with profuse, offensive perspiration. An important
feature of this medicine is mental restlessness and inexplicable
fear (of death).
China (Cinchona) 30 : Malaria, which returns every seventh or

fourteenth day. Palpitations, hunger and headache are soon


succeeded by severe shivering. Any effort to control the chill
(e.g., covering, consuming hot drinks or using a hot-water bag),
further increases shivering. Thereafter, the fever sets in rendering
the face red. This is followed by profuse debilitating sweat.

Eupatorium perf 30 : Malaria, with paroxysms of fever in the


morning

between 7 to 9 a.m. A bout starts with nausea and vomiting.


Then there is severe chill with pain in the back of the head and
an insatiable thirst. Further vomiting may occur before the
temperature rises. During fever there is sore, beaten-up feeling in
the body. Finally occurs sweating, which relieves all pains
except the headache.

Natrum mur 30 : For chronic malaria, with paroxysms of fever


occurring

in the morning (10-11a.m.). A bout starts with shivering, then


comes fever with severe left sided headache; finally, sweating
occurs which brings down the temperature. Progressive loss of
weight, an intense craving for salt and a 'mapped' tongue (having
red patches) are other pointers to this remedy.
Nux vomica 30 : For malaria in which the chill-stage dominates.
During

chill, heat as well as sweating phases, the victim insists on


keeping his body well covered and keeping the windows closed.
There is frequent, ineffectual urging to pass stools.

Measles

Measles is a highly infective, viral disease (usually) of children,


which though bothersome is not serious. It sets in with
symptoms of catarrh e.g., sneezing, running nose, redness and
watering of eyes, hoarse cough, prostration and fever which may
go quite high (103 - 104° F). At this early stage, it is difficult
to distinguish measles from an attack of cold or influenza.
However, in about 24 hours characteristic Koplikspots (raised,
white, salt-like spots) develop inside the mouth, confirming the
diagnosis. On the fourth day appear small, red rashes, first on
the face, then on the neck/body and finally on the legs; adjacent
rashes may coalesce to form raised blotches. With the
appearance of rashes, the fever declines. The rashes disappear in
4 - 5 days.

Homeopathic Treatment
Measles can easily be prevented through Homoeopathy. When an
epidemic of measles breaks out, give your child a dose of
Morbillinum 200
in the morning and another in the evening. This homoeopathic
medicine
confers upon your child, a reasonably strong immunity against
measles.

However, if your child has already contracted an infection of


measles (say from your neighbourhood or from his school), give
him that remedy from the below-listed ones, whose symptoms
match with those of your child:

Aconite 30 : Sudden onset of acute symptoms (described earlier)

accompanied by intense nervousness, restlessness and an


inexplicable fear, especially in the evening and at night. During
fever, the child has an acute thirst for large quantities of cold
water (like Bryonia, but unlike Gelsemium, Pulsatilla). He feels
better in open air.

Arsenic 30 : Here again, the child exhibits acute restlessness,


anguish

and fear (like Aconite). However, unlike Aconite, he dislikes


cold drinks or foods because they seem to worsen his problems.
Moreover, he complains of burning (in the eyes, the skin, etc.),
which is relieved by warm applications!

Belladonna 30 : Sudden onset of acute symptoms of measles


(like

Aconite). The skin (of the face and the body) is dry, hot and
red. Unlike Aconite, there is an absence of thirst, especially
during the febrile stage, and a dislike for open air.

Bryonia 30 : Very slow, gradual onset of symptoms (like


Gelsemium),

accompanied by dryness of the eyes, the mouth, the intestines,


etc.). Consequently, there is acute thirst for large quantities of
cold water (like Aconite). The child lies absolutely still on the
bed because even the slightest motion seems to aggravate his
problems; even when coughing he holds his chest to prevent it
from moving.

Euphrasia 30 : Suitable during the early (catarrhal) stages of the


disease

if these symptoms are present: profuse watering from the eyes,


causing burning and redness of eyes; however, profuse nasal
discharge is bland (non-burning); cough is present only during
the day-time (especially in the evening) but is absent at night.

Ferrum phos 30 : Slow, gradual onset of symptoms. Fever


intensifies at
night or in the early morning (4 - 6 a.m.). There is throbbing
headache
which is relieved by cold applications.
Gelsemium 30: Very slow, gradual onset of symptoms (like
Bryonia,

Ferrum phos) of measles, accompanied by dullness of the mind,


drowsiness and dizziness. There is trembling of the limbs and
the whole body. Another characteristic feature is complete
absence of thirst (like Pulsatilla).

Pulsatilla 30 : This remedy, perhaps, the most important


medicine for

measles, is distinguished by a weeping disposition, thirstlessness


(like Gelsemium) and an internal feeling of chilliness (yet the
child dislikes covering and wants to be in open air).

Menopause (Cessation of Menses)


Menopause marks the end of woman's reproductive life. This
normal phenomenon usually occurs in late forties or early fifties
but may occur much earlier or later.

For most women, this transition from fertile toinfer tile life is
smooth and uneventful. However, a few women suffer from
distressing symptoms like hot flushes causing warmth in the face
and ears, sweating, unduefatigue, headaches and inexplicable
mood-changes.

Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of these remedies match with
most of
your symptoms:
Aconite 30 : Sudden, violent bursts of heat in the face with
restlessness,

severe anxiety and fear (of death); the vagina is dry, hot and
sensitive; unquenchable thirst for large quantities of cold water;
a desire to be in open air.

Amyl nitrite 30: Surging of blood to the head and the face
causing

anxiety, palpitations, throbbing headache and a desire for open


air, followed by profuse, hot perspiration and exhaustion; the
lady keeps away from mental or physical exertion and frequently
stretches her limbs.

Lachesis 30 : Chills at night and flushes of heat in the face on


awakening

in the morning; the face turns pale and blue, and there is.
burning heat in the top of the head followed by hot perspiration.
The lady loosens clothes and desires fanning but slowly and
from a distance. Other features include-trembling of the whole
body, sensation of a ball in the genital organs and a talkative,
jealous suspicious disposition.

Pulsatilla 30 : Early stages of menopause characterised by severe

irregularities of menstrual bleeding accompanied by a weeping


disposition, chilliness inside the body and wandering pains in the
head. There is thirstlessness and an acute craving for open air
(like Aconite, Amyl).

Sanguinaria 30 : Periodic headache (returning every seventh day)


after

menopause, which begins at the back of the head, ascends to the


top of the head and settles over the right eye; headache is
relieved by sleep; circumscribed redness of the cheeks and
burning in palms and soles.

Sepia 30 : Flushes of heat, especially in the morning and in the


evening

accompanied by bursting headache relieved by external pressure;


a bearing-down sensation in the pelvic region forcing the lady to
keep the legs crossed lest everything escape out of the vagina;
sad, weeping and indifferent (even to family members).

Notes:

1. Discontinue the medicine as soon as about fifty per cent


improvement occurs. Restart the medicine if symptoms worsen
again or reappear.

Morning Sickness (Vomiting During Pregnancy)


Occasional slight vomiting in the morning is a common problem
ofea rly
pregnancy. This does no harm and subsides on its own by the
end of the

third month ofpregnancy. Sometimes, however, it extends even


into the second trimester of pregnancy and/or assumes a severer
form, thereby undermininghealth.
Homeopathic Treatment

improvement occurs. Restart the medicine if symptoms worsen
again or reappear.

Mumps
Mumps is a disease of children and young adults, characterised
by a hard swelling over one or both cheeks due to a viral
infection of the parotid (salivary) glands, accompanied by pain
and fever.

Homeopathic Treatment

Mumps can be prevented with ease, through Homoeopathy. If


cases of mumps are reported in your city or seen in your
neighbourhood (or in your child's school), immediately give your
child a dose of Parotidinum 200 on three successive days, to
confer upon him a reasonableimmunity.

However, if your child has already contracted mumps, give him


that remedy from the below-listed ones, whose symptoms match
with those of your child:

Arsenic 30: Burning pain in the affected cheek, which is better


by warm
/ hot applications! Another distinguishing feature is undue fear
(of death)
causing severe anguish and restlessness.
Belladonna 30 : Sudden, acute attack of mumps, affecting the
right
cheek, which looks red and feels hot. Though there is high
fever, the child
is not thirsty (like pulsatilla).
Mercurius sol 30 : Hard swelling of the affected cheek with
stiffness of

the jaw and difficult swallowing; offensive breath; profuse


offensive perspiration. The tongue is moist (due to excess
saliva), thick and flabby and shows imprint of teeth (like Rhus
tox). There is sweetish (or bitter) and metallic taste in the mouth
and acute thirst for large quantities of cold water.

Pulsatilla 30 : Severe pain in the affected cheek changing places


from

time to time (wandering pain) accompanied by acute chilliness


(yet aversion to cover and yearning for open air). The patient,
usually a girl, has a mild, weeping nature. The tongue is dry yet
there is no thirst. Pain

is relieved by lying on the affected side (cheek) and by cold


applications.
On the other hand, warm or hot compresses worsen the pain.
Rhus tox 30 : Severe soreness (a beaten-up feeling) in the
affected
cheek causing restlessness (like Arsenic), There is bitter taste in
the mouth. The tongue, which has a darkred tip, shows imprint
of teeth (like Mercurius). Soreness in the cheek lessens on
applying warmth or eating warm / hot foods (like Arsenic but
unlike Pulsatilla). There is great aversion to open air (unlike
Pulsatilla).

Nausea or Vomiting
Check if most symptoms of any of these medicines match with
most of
your symptoms:
Arsenic 30 : Nausea and vomiting from foodpoisoning, with
pressure and

burning pain in the pit of the stomach. The victim cannot bear
the smell or sight of food. If anything is consumed, it is soon
vomited in the form of a dark, offensive fluid. Severe prostration
and fear of death are important features of this medicine.

Ipecac 30 : Almost constant nausea, which is not relieved by


vomiting.
Vomiting of whitish or greenish, jellylike mucous. Thirstlessness
is an
important pointer to this remedy.
Nux v 30 : Nausea after eating, especially in the morning, the
victim

thinking he will feel better if vomiting occurs. The person keeps


away from food in spite of hunger. An oversensitive nature and
frequent ineffectual desire to pass stools are other features of this
medicine.

Phos 30 : Nausea with burning and an 'all-gone' sensation in the

stomach. The victim craves and consumes cold foods/drinks


which help him temporarily. However, as soon as the food gets
hot in the stomach, it is vomited out. Vomitus may even contain
bright red blood.

Notes:

1. Discontinue the medicine when about fifty percent improvement


has occurred. Restart the medicine if symptoms worsen again or
reappear later.

Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the commonest form of arthritis caused by a
gradual,
progressive degeneration of the jointcartilage (pad) with
advancing age.
It is characterised by
1. Pain and stiffness in the affected joint (usually a joint of the
lower
limb) which increase very gradually over the years,
2. Absence of any real swelling, redness or warmth in the
affected
joint,
3. Presence of a typical crackling noise (called crepitus) on
moving the
joint and
4. Formation of new bone (in the form of projections called
osteophytes) along the joint-margin.
Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of these remedies match with
most of
your symptoms:
Arnica 30 : Osteoarthritis following an injury to (e.g., a fracture
of) a

joint. Apart from pain and stiffness, there is a sore, beaten-up


feeling in the joint. Everything on which the affected joint lies,
seems too hard. Joint-pains are worse from touch (massage) or
heat (unlike Rhus tox). Resting the affected joint does not
relieve pain.
Bryonia 30 : Joint-pain which gets worse from least motion or
exertion

but improves with absolute rest (compare Rhus tox). Applying


heat to the joint or lying on it helps (compare Arnica). Pressing,
massaging or bandaging the joint also helps.

Calc phos 30 : Osteoarthritis in lean, emaciated persons. Apart


from pain

and stiffness, there is a sensation of numbness and crawling in


the affected joint. Symptoms are worse in damp, cold weather
but better in, hot, dry weather.

Causticum 30 : Chronic osteoarthritis with jointdeformities from


contractures of muscles. Pain is worse in clear fine weather but
lessens in
the monsoon.
Rhus tox 30 : Osteoarthritis characterised by stiffness, pain and
a feeling

of soreness in the affected joint (compare Arnica). Pain and


stiffness are worse after rest (inactivity) but gradually diminish
on walking around (Unlike Bryonia). Joint-problems are worse in
rainy weather but better by application of dry heat.
Notes:

1. Discontinue the medicine as soon as about fifty per cent


improvement has occurred. Restart the medicine if symptoms
worsen again or reappear later.

Painful Heel or Calcaneal Spur


Pain in the heel is a common problem, especially in obese
persons.
Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most of your symptoms match with most symptoms of
any of the
below-given medicines:
Aranea diadema 30 : For pain in the heel which is worse in
damp
weather (during the rains). There is a sensation of swelling in
the affected
heel.
Calc flour 30 : For painful heel which feels better with heat
treatment;
especially useful for calcaneal spur.
Lycopodium 30 : Pain, especially in the right heel, which is
present even
at rest (when not walking). The victim feels he has treaded on a
pebble. The pain is worse from 4 to 8 p.m. or at night and from
warm/hot applications. It improves somewhat on walking around.

Notes:
1. Wear soft (padded) slippers, sandals or shoes (even in the
house).

Painful Menstruation (Dysmenorrhoea)

Menstrual disgrders are quite common. However, out of a


feeling of shame and embarrassment, many women do not
disclose their problems and continue to suffer silently.

Dysmenorrhoea is characterised by pain in the abdomen, back,


thighs and breasts during the days of menstrual flow. Moreover,
there may be muscular cramps, headaches, general lassitude and
mental irritability. If similar but less severe symptoms appear
immediately before the menses, the condition is called pre-
menstrual syndrome.

Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of these medicines match with
most of
your symptoms:
Belladonna 30 : Sudden, acute pain in the abdomen, groins,
thighs and

breasts, coming in spurts (i.e., it starts suddenly and stops


suddenly); backache so severe, it seems the back will break;
strong bearing-down sensation in the lower abdomen making the
lady believe that everything would escape through the vulva. The
menstrual bleeding occurs too early, is quite profuse and
offensive, and the blood is bright red.

Chamomilla 30 : Severe, uribearable, labour-like, cramping pain


in the

abdomen and thighs during periods, ultimately causing


numbness. Profuse menstrual blood which is dark and clotted.
The lady becomes irritable and angry, and desires solitude and
silence. She has an aversion to eating and feels better by fasting.

Cimicifuga 30 : Delayed and irregular menses accompanied by


labour-

like pain (causing a bearing-down sensation) or severe electric-


like pain which shifts from hip to hip and spreads into the fronts
of thighs. The pain is relieved by warm applications or by eating
(unlike Chamomilla). The menstrual blood is coagulated and
foulsmelling. All disorders, physical and mental, become worse
during the periods and there is a sensation of black cloud
enveloping the head.

Mag phos 6x : Severe, stabbing, cramping pain in the abdomen,


just

before menses, which changes places (like Pulsatilla). The pain


gets worse from cold bathing or work but is relieved by lying on
the right side or by bending double and by warm applications.
An important feature is that the pains disappear as soon as
bleeding appears.

Pulsatilla 30 : There is a history of menstrual problems ever


since

puberty. Violent, shifting (like Cimicifuga) pain during periods,


causing a stone-like heaviness in the abdomen. Pains are
accompanied by a feeling of internal chilliness; yet the lady
craves open air. The abdominal pain is better by pressure and
cold applications. The periods are late and the bleeding is scanty.
Other important features include: weeping nature, thirstlessness
(like Belladonna) and, sometimes, nausea-vomiting or diarrhoea
during periods.

Sepia 30 : Painful periods accompanied by a sensation of


fullness or a
ball in the pelvic organs; there is a strong bearing-down
sensation, forcing the lady to keep the legs crossed, lest anything
escape out of the vulva (like Belladonna). Pain in the abdomen
is better from exercise (work), pressure, warm/hot applications
and cold bathing. An important feature of this medicine is
'indifferent nature. The lady is indifferent to everything - even to
her beloved family members.

Xanthoxylum 30 : Menses too early, with pain in the back and


lower
abdomen, extending down the left thigh. The discharged blood is
thick
and almost black.
Notes:

1. The medicine should be started a day or two before menstrual


bleeding is due. Discontinue the medicine as bleeding draws to
an end.

Infantile Paralysis (Poliomyelitis)


Paralysis in old age is, usually, the result of either a rupture or a
blockage
of one or more blood-vessels of thebrain.
Polio is, usually, a childhood problem which is caused by an
invasion of
specific viruses in the spinal cord.
Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of the below-given medicines
match with
most of your symptoms :
Aconite 30 : Sudden attack of paralysis accompanied by extreme

motion of the right hand towards the mouth. Other general
features include: highly irritable nature, longing for stimulants,
intolerance for cold weather/air and frequent, ineffectual desire
for stools and urine.

Opium 30 : Painless paralysis with heavy, stupid sleep and


stertorous

breathing. There is involuntary twitching of muscles and jerking


of limbs; obstinate constipation; hot perspiration over the whole
body except lower limbs.

Phosphorus 30 : Paralysis starts from the toes/fingers and then


spreads

onto the body; burning in the affected parts. Other general


features include: an oversensitive nature, craving for cold foods
and an inability to lie on the left side.
Plumbum met 30 : Progressive paralysis, usually of single
muscles /
parts; extensor muscles of the limbs are affected more, so that
the victim
suffers from hand-drop and / or foot-drop. Other general features
include
excessivedepression, ringing in the ears and distinct blue lines
near gum-
margins.
Notes:
1.Polio is best prevented, through proper immunization during
childhood. In case of a polio epidemic, few doses of a
homoeopathic
medicine Lathyrus 30 confer upon the child, a
reasonableimmunity

Piles (Haemorrhoids)
Piles is a varicosed condition of the veins of the anus. These
produce a lot
of pain and, sometimes, bleed profusely.
Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of these medicines match with
most of
your symptoms:
Aesculus 30 : Rectum feels sore, as if full of small sticks.
Stools are hard

and dry and, therefore, difficult to evacuate. After the stools,


there is intense pain, which lasts for hours (like Aloe and Sul)

Pimples
Pimples are small boils affecting the skin of the face of
adolescent girls /
boys, perhaps caused by hormonal changes.
Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of the below-given medicines
match with
most of your symptoms:
Ant tart 30 : Pimples that leave behind bluish-red marks.
Constant

sleepiness and a craving for apples and sour foods are other
features of this medicine. Check if most symptoms of any of the
below-given medicines match with most of your symptoms:

Calc sul 30 : Pimples with yellowish scabs. If burst open, the


resultant
wound does not heal rapidly. Burning and itching of soles is
another

also helpful. Avoid facial creams and cosmetics.

2.Consume a well-balanceddiet having an abundance of sour-


sweet
(citrus) fruits. Cut down the intake of salt and refined flour
(maida).

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is chronic, inflammatory, destructive and


deforming variety of arthritis that affects many joints (especially
the small joints of the fingers and the toes) at the same time.

Unlike osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis victimises young


persons,
especially females.
Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of these remedies match with
most of
your symptoms:
Actea spicata 30 : Rheumatoid arthritis affecting small joints (of
fingers/toes, wrists, ankles). Even mild exertion causes an
increase in the
pain and swelling.
Bryonia 30 : Rheumatism with red, swollen and hot joints which
are

exceedingly painful. Joint-pains get aggravated with slightest


motion, forcing the patient to keep still. Hot weather, warm
room, warm foods/drinks also worsen joint-pains. The person
feels better by absolute rest, firmly bandaging the joint, pressing
(massaging) the joint or by lying on the affected joint.

Calc phos 30 : Besides pain and stiffness, there is a sensation of


numbness and crawling in the affected joints. Symptoms are
worse in
damp, cold weather but better in hot, dry weather.
Causticum 30 : Advanced rheumatoid arthritis with deformities
of the
fingers. Joint-problems are worse in clear, fine weather but better
in
damp, wet weather.
Colchicum 30 : Rheumatoid arthritis that moves from one joint
to

another (compare Pulsatilla). Pain is so severe that the patient


can't bear even light touch. Joint-pains are worse by slightest
motion (like Bryonia), at night and in cold, damp weather, but
better by rest and warmth (dry heat).

Pulsatilla 30 : Rheumatoid arthritis that moves from one joint to


another
(like Colchicum). Pain, accompanied by severe chilliness, is
aggravated by
heat-treatment and rest (unlike Colchicum) but ameliorated by
cold
applications, pressure (massage), lying on the affected joint and
gentle
continued motion.
Rhododendron 30 : Rheumatoid arthritis characterised by acute

inflammatory swelling of joints, wandering from one joint to


another (like Colchicum, Pulsatilla). Joint-pains are worse by rest
and from changes in weather but better by motion and
application of dry heat.
Rhus tox 30 : Rheumatoid arthritis characterised by stiffness,
pain and a
feeling of soreness in the affected joints. Pain and stiffness are
worse
after rest (inactivity) but gradually diminish on moving the joints
Symptoms are worse in rainy weather but improve by
application of dry
heat.
Ruta 30 : For sore, beaten up feeling in the affected joints,
giving rise to

restlessness (like Rhus tox). Joint-pains are worse from rest but
better by gentle movements (not exertion); warm applications
and massage also help in relieving pains.

Summary of indications:
Joint-pains and stiffness:

Better by rest: Actea spicata, Bryonia, Colchicum


Better by movements: Pulsatilla, Rhododendron, Rhus tox, Ruta


Better by heat treatment: Calc phos, Colchicum, Rhododendron,


Rhus tox, Ruta

Better by cold applications: Pulsatilla



Better by massage / pressure: Bryonia, Pulsatilla, Ruta
Notes:

1. Discontinue the medicine as soon as about fifty percent


improvement has occurred. Restart the medicine if symptoms
worsen again or reappear later.

Shoulder Joint Pain/Stiffness; Frozen Shoulder

Shoulder ailments are quite common. Frozen shoulder (also


called Peri- arthritis of the shoulder) is an illunderstood disorder
characterised by an uniform limitation of all shoulder-
movements.

Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of these remedies closely match
with
most of your symptoms:
Bryonia 30 : Severe pain, made worse by slightest motion,
compelling

the patient to keep still. Application of heat also worsens the


pain. Absolute rest, gentle massage and lying on the affected
shoulder help to relieve pain.
Chelidonium 30 : Pain in the right shoulder spreading to right
upper
back. Pain is worse from movement of the shoulder and on
touching but
better from pressure (massage).
Ferrum met: For pain in left shoulder, making it difficult for the
victim to
raise the arm. Pain gets worse from rest but is relieved by gently
moving
about the arm.
Rhus tox 30 : There is a feeling of stiffness, soreness and pain
in the
shoulder which is worse after rest (inactivity) but gradually
diminishes on
moving the shoulder or applying dry heat.
Sanguinaria 30 : For right-sided frozen shoulder accompanied by
burning in palms and soles. Pain is worse from movement of the
shoulder
and better by rest and sleep.
Syphilinum 30 : Frozen shoulder, with stiffness and pain that
spreads
into the arm-bone. Pain is especially troublesome during the
night (preventing sleep). It increases fromheat-trea tment but
decreases on pouring cold water.

Notes:

1. Discontinue the medicine as soon as about fifty per cent


improvement has occurred. Restart the medicine if symptoms
worsen again or reappear later.

Sinusitis

Sinuses are air-filled cavities present in the skull-bone,


communicating with the nose through tiny openings. Therefore, a
nasal infection sometimes spreads to one or more sinuses causing
a swelling of their inner surfaces. Symptoms of sinusitis include
throbbing pain in the forehead or cheeks which gets worse on
stooping, moving, the head or coughing and, sometimes, fever.

Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of these medicines match with
most of
your symptoms:
Hepar sulph 30 : Right-sided frontal sinusitis causing sharp,
splinter-like
pain in the forehead and the root of the nose; the pain gets
worse from cold air or consuming cold foods/drinks; in general
the person is chilly (requiring warm clothes even in summer)
and overly sensitive to the environment (noise, touch, light, etc.).

Kali bich 30 : Sinusitis in hot weather (summer), causing


wandering pain

in the forehead, in a spot that can be covered by the tip of the


finger; very tough, greenish yellow string-like discharge from the
nose; pain is worse in the morning or from noise but diminishes
by inhaling steam or lying down.

Kali iod 30: Chronic sinusitis causing throbbing pain and


burning in the
nose and the sinuses; the pain is Worse' at night or from steam-
inhalation
but diminishes on moving in open air; profuse, watery and hot
discharge
from the nose.
Mercurius sol 30 : Right-sided sinusitis associated with earache,

toothache and vertigo which increases on lying on the back; the


pain is not relieved by inhaling steam; feeling of a band around
the head; there is acrid, thick, greenish yellow, pus-like
discharge from the nose, more at night. Intense thirst for large
amounts of cold water and profuse, offensive perspiration
confirm the choice of Mercurius.

Pulsatilla 30 : Sinusitis, with pain that shifts from one part of


head to

another (like Kali bich); the pain gets worse from steam-
inhalation but is relieved by pressure, cold applications or
moving in open air; profuse thick, greenish yellow, bland
discharge from the nose. A mild, weeping nature and
thirstlessness confirm the choice of Pulsatilla.

Silicia 30 : Headache starts from the back of the head and


settles above

the right eye (right frontal sinusitis); the pain is worse from
movements (stooping), noise and cold air but is relieved by
pressure (tying a tight band around the head) and urination; great
chilliness (like Hapar sulph) so that the person wraps himself
with warm clothes even in summer.

Notes:
1. Discontinue the selected medicine as soon as about fifty per cent
improvement occurs. Restart the medicine if symptoms worsen
again or reappear.

Sore Throat (Pharyngitis)


A swollen, painful throat, that renders swallowing difficult is
called sore
throat:
Aconite 30 : Sudden, severe pharyngitis with severe pain and
high fever.

The victim is extremelyanxious, fears death and wants thedoctor


to be summoned immediately. There is an almost unquenchable
thirst for large quantities of cold water.

Apis 30 : Acute pharyngitis, the throat looking fiery red, with


burning,
stinging pain. There is such sensitivity to touch that the victim
can't
tolerate clothes around the neck. Thirstlessness is an important
feature.
Baryta carb 30 : Sore throat from consumption of cold drinks.
There is a
sensation of plug in the throat. The foodpipe contracts as soon
as food enters, causing gagging and chocking. A tendency to
catch colds easily is a feature of this medicine.

Belladonna 30 : Sudden, acute pharyngitis with severe burning


pain in

the throat and high fever. There is a constant desire to swallow


(saliva). There is a rush of blood to the head, causing flushed
face and throbbing carotids.

Mere sol 30 : Severe pharyngitis, the throat looking bluish red.


The

tongue is large and moist and shows an imprint of teeth.


Profuse, offensive perspiration, trembling of the body and
extreme thirst for large quantities of cold water indicate this
medicine.

Phytolacca : Severe pharyngitis with dark-red, ashcoloured


appearance

of this throat. Burning pain in the throat as if from coal. The


pain shoots into the ears on trying to swallow. The pain is worse
on taking hot fluids but better when cold drinks are consumed.

Notes:
1. Salt-water gargling also helps.
2. Discontinue the medicine when about fifty percent
improvement
occurs.

Sprained Joint

Sudden twists and turns may wrench, disrupt or damage the


ligaments and tendons around a joint causing 'joint sprain'. This
is followed by pouring (effusion) of a fluid into the joint,
swelling and pain. The most common sprains are those of the
ankle, the wrist, the fingers and the knee.

Since shock is always present when a sprain occurs, give a dose


of Arnica 200 immediately. Arnica controls shock as well as
bleeding in the tissues, and may be all that is needed. If,
however, after a day or so improvement seems to Come to a
standstill, Ruta graveolens 30 will help. Ruta, given four times a
day, beneficially acts on wrenched and torn ligaments and
promotes healing.

If Ruta does not relieve pain and swelling within twenty-four


hours, a deeper-acting remedy Symphytum 30 can be tried.
Symphytum, made from a plant comfrey, was called 'knit-bone'
by ancientphysicians.
On the other hand, if pain and stiffness are worse after a period
of rest (i.e., when beginning to move) and better after some
activity, Rhus tox 30 given every six to eight hours will help.

Other homoeopathic remedies worth considering when treating


joint-
sprains are
Bryonia 30, when the pain is worse on least movement and
better by
absolute rest.
Ledum 30, when there is much swelling, and the affected joint
is numb
and cold, yet feels better with cold applications.

As usual, discontinue the medicine as soon as considerable relief


has been obtained. Prolonged continuation of the remedy defeats
the purpose, and may even cause a temporary worsening of
symptoms as the person starts 'proving' the given remedy.

Eye Stye or Styes


A eye stye is a boil affecting the root of an eye-lash. It is
characterised by
a hard swelling at the lid-margin which is tumour-like and
painful.
Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of the below-given remedies
match with
most of your symptoms:
Pulsatilla 30 : An excellent remedy for styes, especially affecting
the

upper eye-lid, with burning and itching. There may be a


discharge of profuse thick, yellowish mucous from the eye. A
weeping nature and thirstlessness are other features of this
medicine.

Silicea 30 : A remedy which can hasten the resolution of the


stye, by

bursting it open. A feeling of chill (making the person wear


warm clothes even in summer), obstinate constipation and a
desire for cold foods/drinks are other pointers to this remedy.

Staphisagria 30 : For recurrent styes that come one after another


and
leave behind hard nodes. This remedy can be tried if Pulsatilla
fails.
Sul 30 : A good medicine to start the, treatment of a person
with
recurrent styes and an unhealthy skin. There is heat and burning
in the eyes. A disinclination to stand and acute, unbearable
hunger at 11 a.m. are other features of this remedy.

Notes:
1. Be quite particular about eye-hygiene

Sunstroke

Prolonged exposure to the rays of a hot, summer sun may cause


a heat- stroke. The self-cooling mechanism of the body (through
evaporation of sweat from the skin) fails, giving rise to very
high fever, hot and dry skin

and rapid, bounding pulse. The victim is dizzy, nauseated, weak


and, generally, has a headache. If not treated in time, vomiting,
delirium, convulsions or unconsciousness may occur.

Even more important than homoeopathic remedies are the


following first-
aid measures:
1. Move the victim into shade.

2. Cool the victim as quickly as possible by Pouring liberal


amounts of cool water over the body, Alternatively, place a cold
compress on the person's head and wrap a cold wet sheet around
the body.
3. If the patient is conscious, give cool drinks to be sipped
slowly.
Glonoine 30 is the homoeopathic remedy of choice for
sunstroke. Give a
dose every fifteen minutes until patient improves.

If the victim has not responded positively to cold applications


mentioned above, Glonoine may be replaced by Belladona 30, a
dose to be given every fifteen minutes, till improvement is seen.

Tonsillitis

Tonsils are small masses of lymphoid tissues, one lying on either


side of the back of the mouth. They work like guards
intercepting all micro- organisms that happen to enter the nose
or the mouth and preventing them from going deeper into the
body. In turn, the tonsils become inflamed (termed tonsillitis)

Travel-Sickness; Vertigo (Giddiness)


Vertigo can be defined as a feeling of rotation or movement of
one's self
or of the surroundings.

Some people suffer from vertigo, with nausea and vomiting,


while travelling by a ship or a vehicle. This is called travel-
sickness. Other causes of giddiness include: ear-disease, head
injury, sudden changes in blood-pressure or a disturbance of
blood-supply to thebrain.

Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of the below-given remedies
match with
most of your symptoms:
Cocculus 30 : Vertigo while travelling by a vehicle or a ship; a
sensation

of emptiness and pain in the back of the head - can't lie on the
back; nausea and vomiting with a metallic taste in the mouth;
trembling of head and the limbs.

Notes:

1. If you have to travel frequently and if you suffer from vertigo,


nausea or vomiting every time, take a dose of the selected
medicine about half an hour before you step out of the house
next time. This will, almost certainly, act as a preventive.
However, if symptoms still crop up after commencing the
journey, take a dose every fifteen minutes till the attack has
been aborted

Typhoid

Typhoid is a serious, unremittent fever which runs a prolonged


course distinguished by high temperature, 'peasoup' stools and
skin rashes which appear 7-8 days after the onset.

Homeopathic Treatment
Check if most symptoms of any of the below-given medicines
match with
most of your symptoms:
Arnica 30 : Fever, with a sore, bruised feeling in the entire
body, causing
restlessness. Everything on which the patient lies feels too hard.
Arsenic 30: Typhoid with burning in the body, severe prostration
and loss
of appetite (the victim can't even bear the smell or sight of
food). There is
great anguish in the mind, the person feeling that death is
imminent.
Baptisia 30 : Perhaps the best remedy for typhoid, provided the
symptoms match. High fever with nervousness and aching pain
in the body. Even a soft bed feels too hard to the patient. All
the discharges (breath, sweat, urine, stools, etc.) are horribly
offensive. The tongue and the mouth show cracks and ulcers.

Rhus tox 30 : Diarrhoea precedes the onset of fever, which is


gradual to

rise. There is a sore, bruised feeling in the body. Everything on


which the patient lies feels too hard, causing restlessness. The
tongue is cracked and shows a triangular red tip.

Worms in the Intestines (Helminthiasis)


Due to contaminated water and foods, worm infestation is a
common
problem of childhood.
Homeopathic Treatment

Like any other disease, worm infestation, too, is better prevented


than treated. This is relatively easy if drinking water is boiled
and all outside eatables are avoided.

If your child does have a worm-problem, consider the below-


listed
remedies and select the one whose symptoms seem matching.
Calcarea carb 30 : Fat, flabby child with a ravenous appetite;
craving for

indigestible things (like chalk, coal, pencils) and eggs; aversion


to meat and milk; crawling and constriction in rectum and anus;
habitual constipation; excessive, sour sweating; head sweats
profusely during sleep, wetting the pillow.

Cina 30 : Cina is prepared from 'worm seeds'. Although


Homoeopathy

does not believe in specific remedies, Cina is preeminently a


worm remedy as it causes all symptoms which characterise
helminthiasis: grinding of teeth, screaming during sleep, constant
digging of nose, involuntary urination in sleep, pain in abdomen
and mental irritability. Other symptoms include desire for sweets
and various indigestfble things (like Calcarea carb), lying on the
abdomen (or the knee-elbow position) in sleep and clean tongue.

Sabadilla 30 : Nervous, timid child with a desire for sweets and


hot
foods and a lack of thirst. The skin is dry and the nails are
thickened.
Spigelia 30 : Demerara pink root, a grass from which this
medicine is
prepared was used in olden days to expel worms. Dr
Hahnemann, who 'proved' this remedy on healthy volunteers
named it Spigelia anthelmic. Symptoms include itching and
crawling in the rectum; frequent ineffectual urging to stool; pain
in the navel which is worse from touch or movements but
relieved by lying on the right side with head high.

Teucrium 30 : Itching and crawling in the anus, especially after


a stool;
irritation and restlessness in the evening and at night in bed- the
child
suddenly wakes up at night, looking frightened.

HOMEOPATHIC Treatment & Medicines for URINARY


TRACT
INFECTION, ENEURESIS, PYLONEPHRITIS,
NEPHRITIS, RENAL
STONES
#Cantharis.
[Canth]

Cantharis symptoms are usually the first ones inquired after when a case of
urinary difficulty presents itself. Its symptoms are clear cut, and should not
be confounded with those of any other remedy. There is a persistent and
violent urging to urinate, with great tenesmus; the urine is passed only in
drops and seems like molten lead passing through the

urethra,
so
intense
is
the

b
urning. There is with this, usually an aching in the small of the back. It is
often indicated in acute cystitis, gravel and urethritis, the great keynotes
being the burning and the tenesmus of the bladder; haematuria also calls for
Cantharis under certain conditions. Baehr doubts that Cantharis is ever
suitable to the chronic form of cystitis.

#Mercurius
corrosivus
[Merc-c]

Has tenesmus of the bladder with intense burning. The burning is less, but
the tenesmus is greater, than in Cantharis. The passing of the urine drop by
drop reminds of Aconite, which has the same symptoms. Aconite, however,
is adapted to sudden retention of

urine, for as soon as the disease becomes fully localized as an inflammation


Aconite ceases to be the remedy. Cantharis and Nux vomica have also a
similarity in the frequent fruitless efforts to urinate. In the region of the
kidneys there is cutting pain which extends into the abdomen, the bladder
and urethra. The most distressing symptom is the constant urging to urinate,
even a few spoonfuls of urine in the bladder bringing on this urging, which
is accompanied by the terrible distress at the neck of the bladder. This pain
is aggravated immediately following micturition, showing that with this drug
the trouble is more urethral. The urine itself under Cantharis is of a deep
red color, deposits a

sediment
of
mucus
and
often
contain
fibrinous

c
asts. Belladonna, too, is a remedy for painful urination. Hughes says that it
is a rarely failing remedy for nervous dysuria.

#Apis
mellifica.
[Apis]

The symptoms of scanty urine always leads one to consider whether Apis is
or is not the remedy, for although Apis produces scanty urine there are
number of other drugs that will do the same thing. The keynotes for Apis in
urinary affections are scanty or suppressed urine, drowsiness, oedema in in
various parts, thirstlessness and suffocation on lying down. The urine is
dark, highly albuminous, and contains casts, so it is readily seen how Apis
may correspond to any form of Bright's disease. In difficult micturition of
children Apis is often a useful remedy. It has frequent desire, with the
passage of a few drops at a time. Among other symptoms are great irritation
at the neck of the bladder and incontinence of urine. It is also the remedy to
be thought of in retained urine or inflamed bladder after abuse of Cantharis.

#Apocynum
cannabinum.
[Apoc]

Apocynum seems to act some what on the kidneys and give rise to various
dropsical conditions. It produces a scanty urine, which is light in color, or,
as it is given, sherry- colored. Its first effect is to produce a copious
diuresis; this is followed by the scantiness of urine which results in dropsy.
It also produces an incontinence and may be useful in enuresis. A sinking
bruised feeling at the stomach is an indication for its use. it differs from
Arsenic and Apis in the fact that it has unquenchable thirst. Arsenic wants
little and often, Apis is thirstless.

#Berberis
vulgaris.
[Berb]

Outside of its action on the genito urinary system Berberis is seldom


thought of,land it is one of our principal remedies for troubles of this
system. It seems to correspond to many symptoms which occur in cases of
renal calculi. It has severe tearing pains in the kidneys, not merely
backache, but pains deep in the kidneys themselves; these pains extend
down the back in the kidneys themselves; these pains extend down the back
and

down the ureters into the bladder;nor do stop here,for we find cutting pains
in the bladder extending into the urethra. These pains in the back and along
the ureters are very severe; they are worse stooping, lying or sitting, and
relieved by standing. In the bladder they cause a desire to urinate, and the
patient is constantly urinating, for the bladder seems imperfectly emptied.
The bladder aches. The urine itself is reddish, has a reddish deposit
consisting of mucus, epithelium and lithates. It differs from the Pareira brava
urine in being more slimy. Another characteristic symptoms of Berberis is
pain in the hips while urinating. Coccus cacti has some similar symptoms to
Berberis, especially the tearing pains extending from the region of the
kidneys, the frequent urging to urinate, the deposits of uric acid and the
urine of Coccus cacti is dark. These remedies must be distinguished very
carefully as they present many symptoms in common. Berberis has rather
more back pains, and seems to act deeper. It is especially indicated in
genitourinary troubles, which are due to conditions of atony, or faiblesse.

#Pareira
brava.
[Pareir]

This is another drug very similar to Berberis vulgaris-as to pains in the back
it is quite similar; yet they do not stop in the hips with Pareira as they do
under mostly clinical. It has been found useful in cystitis where there is
violent straining to urinate, where the patient has to kneel to urinate, where
the urine scalds terribly and where these violent pains in the thighs are
present. The urine has a strong ammoniacal odor. Contains thick viscid
white mucus or deposits or red sand. The three-legged stool of the drug
seems to be: the pain in the thighs, the getting down on all fours to urinate,
and the ammoniacal odor of the urine. It is also a useful remedy in the
condition known as irritable bladder, dull aching in bladder, feeling as if the
bladder were distended, with pain.

#Equisetum
hyemale.
[Equis]

Equisetum acts similarly to Cantharis, but it has less tenesmus and


haematuria, and the urine is less scalding. There is pain in the bladder as if
too full, not relieved by micturition; the constant desire to urinate is not
even relieved by copious urination. The urine is scanty,high colored and
contains much mucus. Much mucus in the urine is more indicative of
Equisetum than of Cantharis. Chimaphila also has much mucus, is especially
useful in prostatic troubles, and has made some cures when there were great
quantities of ropy mucus in the urine, which was quite offensive. This is a
wonderful remedy in the cystic irritation of old men, characterizesd by a
constant teasing desire to urinate with little or no relief following
micturition; the patient being frequently compelled to rise at night. The state
is one of irritation rather than inflammation. Dr. Hughes considered it a
favorite remedy in chronic cystitis. The general aggravation of Equisetum
seems to be after urinating. Difficulty in beginning to urinate, strains a great
deal, scanty urine. It has proved useful in enuresis with marked vesical
irritation,being similar here to Eupatorium

purpureum, which is a useful remedy in the vesical irritation of women,with


much burning in the urethra during urination. With the foregoing symptoms,
Equisetum becomes an important remedy in the treatment of cystitis. It has
been suggested in the dysuria of children; the pain being worse after
urinating will distinguish it from Petroselinum, which has the symptom that
the child dances up and down with pain when the urging to urinate comes
on.

#Digitalis
purpurea.
[Dig]

The urinary symptoms of Digitalis consist of a dragging and pressure in the


bladder which micturition does not relieve. It has been found useful in
inflammation in the neck of the bladder with intense desire to urinate, which
is increased even by the passage of a few drops. The patient walks about in
great distress; at the same time there is tenesmus of the rectum. The patient is
relieved somewhat of these symptoms by lying on the back. The pain at neck
of the bladder is throbbing. The urine is scanty, thick and turbid, and contains
a sediment of brick-dust, like Lycopodium. The urging to urinate in cases
calling for Digitalis is often due to the enlargement of the prostate gland, for
which it is a remedy.

#Terebinth.
[Tereb]

The urine of Terebinth is one of its most characteristic features. It is smoky,


turbid, depositing a sediment like coffee grounds, which indicates the
presence of disintegrated blood cells. Haematuria from venous congestion of
the kidneys calls often for Terebinth. It has burning during micturition and
most painful strangury; the urine, too, may contain albumen and has the
odor of violets. Peculiar odors to urine may be fond under the Viola
tricolor, where it smells like that of the cat, and Benzoic acid, where it
smells strong and ammoniacal,like that of a horse. Terebinth is a useful
remedy in cystitis, with much tenesmus of the bladder and the scanty,
bloody urine; there is also pressure in the bladder, which extends to the
kidneys. In acute and chronic nephritis it is often indicated. The urine,
oedema and the bronchial catarrh may all point to the remedy.

#Nux
vomica.
[Nux-v]

Nux vomica affects powerfully the urinary organs, yet it is seldom thought
of as having anything specially characteristic about these organs. It affects
the lower part of the spine, and we have as a consequence, in the first
place, incontinence of urine; there is irritability at the neck of the bladder,
and the same symptoms is found here as with the rectum. There are
frequent ineffectual efforts to urinate, and these are accompanied by burning
and tearing pains; the urine passes in drops. Again, it is indicated in vesical
torpor or paralysis; here we have dribbling of urine or retention. Haematuria
from abuse of drugs calls of Nux vomica. Cystitis, with this painful urging
and scanty urine indicates

the remedy. The straining is violent at times, and the urine is dark with a
red brick-dust
sediment,
or
bloody,
or
mixed
with
a
tenacious

m
ucus. Opium is similar to Nux in having a partial paralysis of the bladder
with spasmodic condition of the sphincter, but with Opium the patient is
unconscious that the bladder is full, and there is no desire to pass water.
The Stramonium patient passes no water because

the
urine
has
been
suppressed;
it
is
not
secreted.
Camphor
gives
prompt
relief
in
spasmodic
retention
of

u
rine. Nux is useful in the irritable bladder of gout and alcoholism, and to
relieve pain and spasm in the passage of urinary calculi.

#Causticum.
[Caust]

In paralytic conditions about the bladder Causticum deserves first place. It is


one of our great remedies in enuresis, and its characteristics are involuntary
micturition at night in sleep, when coughing, sneezing or blowing the nose,
showing a weakness of the sphincter. Another indication of this is the
difficulty the patient has in passing the last few drops of urine; the fact that
he has to wait a long time before it starts, and that during the act it is
expelled very slowly, showing not only a weakness of the sphincter but a
weakness of the whole muscular system of the bladder. Nocturnal wetting of
the bed in children, occurring during the first sleep at night,calls for
Causticum. Paralysis of the bladder after labor also calls for this remedy.
Zincum is another excellent remedy in these bladder troubles, and it has
some symptoms similar to Causticum, such as involuntary spurting of urine
when coughing or sneezing; there is apt to be more pain in Zincum cases,
however; Scilla and Natrum muriaticum also have involuntary micturition
when coughing. Another symptom of Causticum is an excessive deposit of
urates in the urine. Another remedy which clinically has proved very useful
in enuresis from weakened muscular action is Ferrum phosphoricum. Rhus
aromatica has enuresis of nervous origin, and has been used successfully in
senile cases.

#Sepia.
[Sep]

One of the prominent remedies for lithaemic conditions is Sepia, and the
condition of the urine becomes an indication for its use. It has a reddish
clay-colored sediment adhering to the vessel, a sediment of red sand so-
called. The Sepia urine differs from others in being offensive. Sepia is also
a remedy for wetting the bed at night during the first sleep. Lycopodium is
a prominent remedy for the indication of red sand in the urine. It is a sort
of gravel and is passed in quantities, so that often the child will scream with
pain on passing the water. Lycopodium will then help. Sarsaparilla and
Benzoic acid have similar symptoms, the latter having as a characteristic a
strong horse-like urine. Natrum muriaticum also has their red sand or brick-
dust sediment. Another remedy having this symptom very marked in
Ocimum canum. This is a very useful remedy in renal colic and
gravel. The patient has to micturate every few minutes, during which he
wrings his hands and groans with pain. Nausea is often present. The
quantity of sand deposited is very large. In cystitis, with a constant desire to
urinate and dragging in the bladder, Sepia may prove useful; here it will be
indicated by its general Symptoms.

Vesicaria is recommended to favor expulsion of gravel and sand in urine,


also Thalspi
bursa Pastoris.

corrosivus.
[Merc-c]

A remedy affecting the genitourinary tract profoundly is Mercurius


corrosivus. It has the most violent tenesmus of the bladder of an remedy,
resembling most closely Cantharis; it has also extreme burning, and hence is
indicated in cystitis with these symptoms, or in kidney troubles associated
with this pain in the neck of the bladder. The patient has frequent calls but
passes little urine, and the urine is bloody and albuminous. It is one of the
comparatively few remedies producing albumen in the urine. Phosphorous is
another, and Plumbum yet another, and all three have proved serviceable in
Bright's disease. The great vesical tenesmus, burning, and bloody urine will
indicate this remedy at once, whether it be in cystitis, albuminuria after
diphtheria or kidney disease.

Biochemic Cell Salts


CALCAREA FLUORICUM
For glandular tumors, varicose veins, prolapsus uterus, bone affections etc
This salt is indicated in all diseases affecting the substance forming the
surface of the bone, the enamel of the teeth and part of elastic fibres, no
matter in what structure they may be found. A deficiency of the elastic
fibres in the muscular tissue causes a relaxation, which is a primary
condition in many diseases.

Indicated in all ailments that can be traced to a relaxed condition of the


elastic fibres, including dilatation of blood vessels such as blood-tumors,
piles, enlarged and varicose veins, indurated glands, enlargement of the
heart, relaxed uvula, prolapsed of the womb, etc. Also useful in the diseases
of the respiratory organs with difficult expectoration of small yellow lumps.
The symptoms are all worse in damp weather and are relieved by
fomentation and by rubbing.

CALCAREA PHOSPHORICUM
For anaemia, chlorosis, deficient development, dentition disorders, bone
affections,
dyspepsia etc.

The sphere of the Phosphate of Lime includes all bone diseases, whether
due to some inherited dyscrasia or to defective nutrition in osseous and
other structures dependent upon a proper distribution of lime molecules in
the body. It is the bone cell-salt. Without this element, no bone can be
formed and hence it is a valuable remedy in childhood when the bones are
in the condition of being formed. Cal. Phos. is also found in the gastric
juice and plays an important part in the process of digestion and
assimilation. It is of importance in anaemia, in chlorosis, in convulsions and
spasms, in weak scrofulous subjects; during dentition when the teeth are
slow in making their appearance and decay too rapidly; also in other
teething disorders. In convalescence after acute and chronic wasting diseases,
it acts as a tonic by building up new red blood corpuscles and by restoring
the lost vitality. Deficient development of children and young people
emaciation without apparent cause onanism, suppuration of bones, spinal
weakness and curvature. Aids the union of fractured bones. Rheumatism of
the joints, chronic enlargements of the tonsils and goiter. Cholera infantum,
faeces hot and offensive. Dyspepsia; food seems to lie in a lump; vomiting
after cold drinks. Cold, change of weather, motion, getting wet, generally
aggravates symptoms. Relieved by rest, warmth and by lying down.

CALCAREA SULPHURICUM
For suppurations, boils, carbuncles, gonorrhea and chronic catarrhal
conditions.

This is a most excellent remedy in suppurations to which it is closely


related. It is an eliminator of effete matter. A deficiency of this salt causes
long protracted suppurations. It is indicated in swelling of the soft parts in
connective tissue with threatened suppuration or where suppuration has
already taken place. Abscesses either aborting or hastening suppuration.
Suppurative stage of eruptive diseases of the skin. Boils, carbuncles, felons,
pimples and pustules on the face; suppurative stage of gonorrhea; 'in fact in
all ailments where pus-formations are liable to develop or have already
developed. Chronic catarrhal conditions with purulent secretions. Advanced
stages of lung diseases. The true indication for this remedy is a thick, heavy
yellow pus, sometimes streaked with blood. Symptoms are aggravated by
getting wet or by washing and working in water,

FERRUM PHOSPHORICUM
For acute congestions, inflammations, fevers, etc.
Ferrum Phos. Is given in the initial stage of all congestions, inflammations
and fevers. This salt possesses an affinity or attraction for oxygen and
carries it to all parts of the body and hence is an important agent in all
diseases in which the blood and the corpuscles are involved. Consequently,
the first remedy in all cases depending upon the relaxed condition of the
muscular tissue and in abnormal conditions of the corpuscles of the blood
themselves. It gives strength to the circular wall of the blood vessels. It
supplies the colour to the blood corpuscles. A deficiency of this cell salt is
the cause of fevers and inflammatory conditions and so indicated in all
febrile disturbances and in inflammatory and congestive diseases at the
beginning, especially before exudation has commenced. The principal
accompaniments of these conditions calling for Ferrum Phos are manifested
by flushed face, fever with full pulse, hot, dry skin, thirst, pain and redness
of the part. An excellent remedy in anaemia, chlorosis, pneumonia,
inflammatory rheumatism, tonsillitis, diphtheria, cystitis, nosebleed,
incontinence of urine, apoplexy, gastritis etc. The symptoms calling for this
remedy are always aggravated by motion and ameliorated by cold.

KALI MURIATICUM
For second stage of inflammatory diseases, diphtheria, croup, catarrh,
pneumonia,
glandular swellings, deafness etc.

Kali Mur. is given for the sequel of all inflammations, for exudations and
infiltrations, especially of a fibrous character and in inflammations of serous
membranes, when the exudation is plastic in nature. A most excellent
remedy in the later stages of all catarrhal states. This cell-salt works with
the fibrine, which is found in every tissue of the organism except boric. In
inflammatory exudations we find fibrine in the serous cavities and on the
mucous membranes. The use of Kali Mur. usually follows Ferrum Phos. in
inflammatory disorders. The characteristic symptoms of Kali Mur which is
always indicated in the second stage of the inflammatory diseases, are
glandular swellings, discharges or expectorations of a thick, white fibrinous
consistency, white or gray exudations and a white or gray coating of the
tongue. The efficacy of this remedy is demonstrated in chronic catarrhal
conditions, croup, diphtheria, dysentery, pneumonia etc. Diarrhoea with pale,
yellow faces. With Ferrum Phos is should be given in coughs. Useful in
deafness from the catarrh of the Eustachian tubes, in skin eruptions with
small vesicles containing yellowish secretions, ulcerations, ulcerations with
swelling and white exudations, in rheumatism with swelling of the parts, in
leucorrhoea and gonorrhea with

characteristic discharge. Symptoms in general are worse from motion, while


gastric and
abdominal symptoms are worse after taking pastry, rich and fatty foods.
KALI PHOSPHORICUM
For neurasthenic condition in general, sleeplessness.

Kali Phos. is a constituent of the brain, nerves, muscles and blood vessels. It
unites with albumen and creates nerve fluid or the gray matter of the brain.
Nervous symptoms indicate a deficiency of this cell-salt, which must be
supplied to restore the normal condition. Whatever disease can be traced to
the nerve degeneracy, we enter the field of Kali Phos. Nervous condition
known as neurasthenia is a field in which this salt has become prominently
curative. The results of the want of nerve power, such as prostration, loss of
mental vigor, depression, brain-fag, softening of the brain, insanity, paralysis,
epilepsy, hysteria, locomotor ataxia and when there is rapid decomposition
of the blood. It is curative in septic haemorrhages, scorbutus, gangrene,
stomatitis, offensive carrion-like diarrhoea, dysentery, a dynamic or typhoid
conditions, incontinence of urine, urticaria, predisposition of epistaxis in
children, dizziness and vertigo from sleeplessness, nervous exhaustion,
nervous dyspepsia, asthma, neuralgia, nervous headaches, tongue coated as if
with dark liquid mustard. Symptoms are aggravated from noise, by mental
or physical exertion, by rising from a sitting position. Pains worse in cold
and ameliorated by gentle motion.

KALI SULPHURICUM
For third stage of inflammatory or catarrhal condition, leucorrhoea,
diarrhoea, skin
diseases, rheumatism, ulcerations, dyspepsia

Kali Sulph is a carrier of oxygen. It furnishes vitality to the epithelial


tissues. Light yellow, sticky and watery secretions are the characteristics of
this remedy. The chief indication for this remedy is yellow deposit on the
tongue. It has been given in bronchitis with yellow, slimy or thin, watery
expectoration, in whooping cough, pneumonia pthisis, skin diseases with a
sticky yellowish secretion and peeling off of the epidermis. Epithelioma,
rheumatism, retrocession of eruptions in measles. Dyspepsia with slimy
yellow coating of the tongue, catarrh of the bowels, diarrhoea, leucorrhoea,
ophthalmia etc; with light yellow, watery secretions; dandruff; yellow scales
in skin diseases. Amenorrhoea, menstruation too late and too scanty with
weight and fullness in the abdomen etc. All ailments are worse in a warm
room and toward evening and better in cool, open air.

MAGNESIA PHOSPHORICUM
For convulsions, epilepsy, cramps and spasmodic affections, neuralgia,
sciatica.

It is a constituent of muscles, nerves, brain, bone, spine, teeth and blood


corpuscles. It helps to create the white fibres of the muscles and nerves. It
uses water and albumen to form the transparent fluid, which nourishes the
white threads and fibres of nerves and muscles. The deficiency of this salt
allows the fibres to contract, causing spasms, cramps, convulsions and other
nervous phenomena. It is a remedy to be thought of in all maladies having
their origin in nerve cells and in the muscular tissue. It is particularly
indicated in lean, thin, emaciated persons of a highly nervous temperament.
Magnesia patient is always languid, tired and easily exhausted. The value of
this remedy is shown in all forms of spasms, cramps, tetanus. St. Vitu's
dance, epilepsy, spasmodic retention of urine, paralysis agitans, hiccup,
whooping cough, chorea. It is the remedy for the neuralgic pains in the
head, face, teeth, car, stomach, abdomen etc. spasmodic palpitation of the
heart, dysmenorrhoea. Attacks are often attended with great prostration,
sometimes with profuse sweat. Valuable remedy for flatulent colic forcing
the patient to bend double. Dysentery with cramp-like pains, angina pectoris,
sciatica with excruciating spasmodic pains, angina pectoris, sciatica with
excruciating spasmodic pain writer's and piano-player's cramps. All pains are
lightening-like, shooting or boring, and change their location frequently and
are worse on the right side, from cold air, washing in cold water, and from
touch. Relieved by warmth pressure, friction and by bending double.

NATRUM MURIATICUM
For catarrhal affections with thin, clear, transparent, watery secretions,
influenza, hay-
fever, diarrhoea, constipation, leucorrhoea, intermittent fevers and skin
diseases.

This salt is a constituent of every liquid and solid part of the body. Its
function is to regulate the degree of moisture within the cells. It properly
distributes the water through the organism.

Deficiency in this salt causes the disturbance of water in the human


organism. An unequal distribution of water in the system sometimes causes
excessive dryness of mucous membranes in some part, while there may be a
copious, watery fluid from another part. Naturm Mur. will set things right
and will establish equilibrium. It acts upon the lymphatic system, the blood,
liver, spleen and upon the mucous lining of' the alimentary canal. It is
indicated in headache, toothache, faceache, stomachache and also where
there is either salivation or hyper secretion of tears or vomiting of water and

mucus. Catarrhal affections of mucous membranes with secretion of


transparent, watery, frothy mucus. Small watery blisters, breaking and
leaving a thin crust. Skin diseases with watery symptoms. Diarrhoea with
transparent, frothy, slimy stools. Constipation with dull headache and profuse
tears. Conjunctivitis with clear watery discharge. Tongue clean, slimy, small

clear, starch-like discharge, gleet, coryza with loss of smell and taste,
follicular catarrh of the pharynx, thrush with salivation, diphtheria with
drowsiness, inflammation of uvula with elongation, catarrh of the bladder,
impotence, prostatic fluid, paralysis, chorea, chlorosis, insomnia, pneumonia
with loose rattling phlegm, intermittent fever, especially after abuse of
quinine. Anasarca, gout, chronic swellings of lymphatic and sebaceous
glands. Hemicrania.
NATRUM PHOSPHORICUM
For gastric and intestinal disorders with sour and acid symptoms, worms,
acidity,
diarrhoea.

Through the presence of this salt, lactic acid is decomposed in carbonic acid
and water. It eliminates the carbonic acid through the lungs. It has also the
power to eliminate any excess of sugar from the blood.

This is the remedy in all cases where there is an excess of lactic acid. It
acts also upon the bowels, glands, lungs and abdominal organs. Deficiency
of this salt in the gastric juice will bring about acid and sour fermentations,
and so it cures sour belching and sour rising of fluids. Sour vomiting, sour
eructation with flatulence, greenish, sour smelling, diarrhoea, colic, spasms
due to acid conditions of the stomach. Fever from acidity of stomach in
children. Febrile condition with acid and sour smelling perspiration. Ague
with characteristic coating of the tongue. Thick, moist, golden yellow
coating of the tongue and palate and also a creamy yellowish exudation are
the characteristic symptoms calling for this remedy. Eye complaints
discharging a creamy yellow matter. Intestinal worms. Incontinence of urine
in children with acidity. Atony of bladder, seminal emissions without
dreams, leucorrhoea. with creamy or honey colored or acid and watery
discharge, uterine displacements accompanied by rheumatic pains. Goiter,
scrofulosis with acid symptoms. Hives, crusta lactea.

NATRUM SULPHURICUM
For hepatic diseases, bilious attacks, intermittent fevers, headaches,
diarrhoea, diabetes,
asthma, la grippe, dropsy
This salt aids and regulates the excretion of the superficial water. It
eliminates and excess of water from the blood. It keeps the bile in normal
consistency. The three natrum salts work in the body as follows. Natrum
Phos creates the water by splitting up of lactic acid; Nat Mur distributes the
water through the system. Nat. Sulph. regulates the quantity of water in the
organism. Nat. Sulph. is preeminently a liver remedy. It exhibits a marked
similarity to the uric acid diathesis and is certainly a valuable remedy in
combating or numerous phases of that malady. Dirty, brownish green or
grayish-green coating on the root of the tongue. Dark greenish stools from
excess of bile, bitter taste, vomiting of bile, diabetes from jaundice, bilious
headache, dropsy, diseases of the liver. Excellent in influenza, intermittent
fever and ague in all stages with vomiting and other bilious symptoms.
Enlargement of the liver, erysipelas, smooth, red shiny eruptions coming in
blotches with swelling of skin. Gravel, sand in urine, gout, fig warts, asthma
and dyspnoea aggravated by change to damp weather, edematous
inflammations of the skin, skin diseases with moist, yellowish scales, yellow
watery secretions in all vesicles. Vomiting in pregnancy with bitter taste,
fistulous abscesses discharging watery secretions, tendency to warts around
the eyes, scalp, face, chest and arms etc. Symptoms are worse in the
morning, in damp, wet weather and from lying on left side. Relief in warm
dry weather and in the open air.

SILICEA
For chronic suppurations and ulcerations, carbuncles, tonsillitis, glandular
swellings,
indurations, scrofula, foot sweats, uterine disorders.
It acts more upon the organic substances of the body, involving prominently
bones, joints, glands, skin and mucous surfaces, producing malnutrition and
corresponding to the scrofulous diathesis. Its action is deep and long lasting.
It is especially suited to imperfectly nourished constitutions. It is a remedy
for deep-seated chronic and acute suppurations and ulcerations, affecting the
tendons, periosteum and bone. promotes suppuration. Indicated when there is
hardness and indurations with suppuration. Infiltrations terminating in
suppuration. It ripens abscesses by promoting suppurations. Valuable also in
diseases resulting from suppressed foot sweats. Metrorrhagia in menstruation,
