## Keynote Indications
The salient feature of Antimonium Cr udum is that the gastric function
is badly affected.  There is a coating on the tongue, which is
essentially thick and white unless al tered by the colour of food taken,
e.g. the coating can obviously turn  brown after eating chocolate or
drinking tea. The Antimonium Crudum patient eats a lot and
constantly so, until the sudden functional failure of the stomach sets
in.

Antimonium Crudum is a profound and wi dely effective medicine.  It
stops the vomiting following excessive eating . It is very useful in
deep warts and corns of the feet.  Sometimes, streaks on nails or their
irregularity may be a sign of deep -seated disease. In the Antimonium
Crudum patient, raised warts devel op near finger nails.  The nails
either become loose or shrivel and streaks appear on them.  The same
happens on the feet.  The gums swe ll and recede from the teeth and
the teeth decay.  If this is a promin ent feature, then it is diagnostic of
Antimonium Crudum.  In Antimonium Crudum and Antimonium tart,
the toothache may be of neuralgic nature.
In Antimonium Crudum, the stools are formed and the blood is only
smeared on the outside.  In dysentery, the stools are mixed with blood.

with the dysfunction of the stomach, various skin conditions can also
develop.  The Antimonium Crudum sy mptoms are relieved in the
open air and hot, humid weather.  However, the patient cannot tolerate
heat, especially direct sunlight.  The classical signs of Antimonium
Crudum are gastric dysfunction, naus ea and its effects on the lungs,
