In allopathy, there is no match for this Homoeopathic\nremedy.  This is the best remedy for wasting disease of the children\n(marasmus).  The child cannot digest milk; he throws up as soon as\nhe drinks milk.  The vomiting renders him very weak.  He feels\nhungry, takes milk-feed and imme diately vomits again.  The\nconstipation is severe.  If diarrhoea ensues, the stools are small.\nFirstly, they are yellowish in colour and then, turn greenish (bile-\ncoloured).  There is intense gripin g in the abdomen.  In addition to\ndiarrhoea, there is a tendency to repeated vomiting of clotted milk.\n\nThe majority of the children are se verely constipated.  Diarrhoea is\nrare.  The child is usually drowsy and steadily goes on getting weaker.\nOnce a marasmic child was brought to me who looked terrible.  His\nhead was large, his face drawn a nd shrivelled, and his body was just a\nbony skeleton.  His parents told me that they had tried many\nmedicines but to no avail, since the child was constipated for over a\nmonth, and threw up after every milk feed.  I gave him Aethusa. Soon\nhis constipation was relieved, he co uld digest milk and his condition\nstarted improving.  Within a week, the child became hale and hearty.\n\nMarasmus is also found in Abrotanum.  In Abrotanum, the wasting\nbegins in the legs and then spreads upwards towards the chest and\nneck.  In Aethusa, wasting involv es the entire body simultaneously.\nAnother sign of Aethusa is that with heat, the sickness migrates\ntowards the head.  For a child with some mental deficiency  and a\ntendency to throw up milk immediately after feed, Aethusa is the\nremedy.  Aethusa will cure his mental  as well as abdominal problem.\nWith conventional allopathic treatmen t, if the child is treated for his\nabdominal problem, he will become me ntally ill, even insane.  Clear-\ncut symptoms of Aethusa warrant the use of Aethusa alone.\nIn Aethusa Cynapium, the illness comes on with full force followed\nby mental and physical exhaustion, drowsiness and delirium.  The\npatient is extremely superstitious and hallucinates about cats, dogs and\nmice.  He lacks concentration.  He is sad and feels uneasy.  The head\nfeels tied up in a vice.  There is pain at the back of the head , which\n\nradiates down the neck, shoulders and upper back.  This pain is\nrelieved by pressure or lying down, as well as after passing stools and\nwind (flatus).  Hairs feel stretched.  There is drowsiness, dizziness and\npalpitation.  When dizziness ends, the head starts feeling warm.\n\nThe eyes are very sensitive to light.  The margins of the eyelids\nswell.  The eyeballs roll around duri ng sleep.  The eyes are drawn\ndownwards.  Things appear larger  than their actual size.  The ears\nache, with a feeling of discharge of warm fluid with hissing sounds.\nThick nasal secretions causes blocka ge of the nose.  The tip of the\nnose feels sore.  An ineffective desire to sneeze is typical of Aethusa.\nRed marks appear on the face.  The jaws hurt and feel stiff.  The\ntongue is dry and feels too long.  Burning and blisters of the throat\nmake swallowing difficult.  At time s, due to difficulty in breathing\nand feeling suffocated, the patient may not even speak.  The chest\nfeels tight.\n\nAethusa is very useful in diseases of the women .  During\nmenstruation, if there is excessive wa tery bleeding and painful\nswelling of the breasts, uterine di scomfort and sluggish intestinal\nmovements (peristalsis), vomiting soon after eating without nausea,\nalong with some other peculiar symp toms of Aethusa Cynapium, they\nwill all respond to Aethusa.\n\nThe symptoms of Aethusa intensify early in the morning, at about 3 to\n4 a.m., with cold water and in warm bedding.  All the symptoms,\nexcept mental, subside in the open air.  Aethusa is very good in\nteething diarrhoea of children .  In Aethusa patients, there may also\nbe numbness of the arms and feet, and developing cramp.  The elbows\nare spastic.  Fingers and thumbs clench.  There is numbness in the\nhands and the feet.  Aethusa is useful in epilepsy too. The limbs feel\ncold and tight along with frothing from the mouth.  The child cannot\nhold the head up, vomits immediat ely after milk feed and then\ndemands milk soon after.\n\nAethusa is considered useful by some homoeopaths for students who\nget confused and very apprehensive in the examination hall.  One dose\nof Aethusa Cynapium 2 00 taken on the morning of  the exam is found\nvery useful.\nAdjuvant: Calcaria Carb.\nPotency: 30 to 200","modalities":"","symptoms_by_system":[],"schema_version":"1.0","api_provider":"Allahshafi"}
