The abdominal pain is\nrelentless.  It doubles the patient up bending forward.  The pressure\ndue to forward bending, offers relief by pressing on the affected area.\nThe local application of pressure and heat offers relief.  Similar\nsymptoms appear in the case of Ma gnesia Phos.  So in an emergency\nsituation, I advocate the use of a combination of Colocynthis and\nMagnesia Phos, and by the grace of God, a rapid relief will be\nobtained.\n\nColocynthis is basically the remedy for diseases of the nervous\nsystem.  Whenever there is pain over  the limbs, the adjacent muscles\ncontract, causing the sensation of being caught in a vice.  Abdominal\npain is associated with cramping of the intestines. Colocynthis is\nrelated to the small nerve fibres , therefore the cramping of the\nintestines, the pain at the back and the arms usually remain localised,\nthus sparing the rest of the body.  C ontrary to this, the sciatica pain\nradiates from the back down the le gs and the pain of the arm is\nreferred to the entire extremity.\n\nColocynthis pains come in the form of an attack.  Every second attack\nis stronger than the first one.  Th e pain keeps slow ly and steadily\nincreasing in severity.  The admi nistration of Colocynthis offers\nprompt relief.  Some men develop severe pains and aches due to\nfinancial loss in business or severe  shock.  Some women feel a boring\ntype of pain over the ovaries, the severity of which doubles them up.\nThe ovaries develop small tumours inside them.\n\nWhile opening the bowels, the asso ciated urination causes burning\nalong the urethra and sometimes there is a discharge of material like\nthe white of the egg, which smells offensive and is associated with\nitching.  Sometimes, the patient passe s small crystals in the urine,\nwhich settle on the walls of the lavatory.  Sometimes, there are severe\ncramps in the whole of the abdomen at the time of passing urine.  The\nsusceptible patient of Colocynthi s is of delicate constitution and\nphysical appearance.\n\nThe headache associated with Colocynthis is very severe.  Eye\nmovement makes it worse.  There is pain over the facial nerves, which\nfeels better on the applica tion of local pressure and heat.  The use of\nColocynthis offers unusually fast  and effective relief.  The\nColocynthis pains are of undulating pattern.  Every second wave of\npain is stronger than the previous one, so much so that the patient\nscreams with it and develops hysterical fits .  A few pellets of\nColocynthis in homoeopathic form offer immediate relief.  The beauty\nof homoeopathic treatment is that it offers immediate relief in many\nday-to-day ailments.  With the admi nistration of Colocynthis, the pain\ndisappears as fast as it had appear ed.  Colocynthis can be used for\nthese kinds of pains, irrespective of where they are over the body.  Its\neffect is prompt and as soon as th e patient feels relie f from pain, he\ngoes to sleep.\n\nAntidotes: Nux Vomica, Tobaccum\nPotency: Usually 30, but sometimes up to CM.","modalities":"","symptoms_by_system":[],"schema_version":"1.0","api_provider":"Allahshafi"}
