Spasm

Aconite: Symptoms develop suddenly after exposure to
cold and windy weather or fright.
Arnica: After forceps or difficult delivery
Borax: Cystitis with yeast overgrowth in small children.
(Mom may have had yeast overgrowth at time of delivery.)
Candida albicans: Urinary candidiasis (yeast) often
associated with antibiotic treatment, old age, pregnancy
and the use of urinary catheters. (May be asymptomatic.)
Staphysagria: Cystitis develops after mechanical injury
from sports or medical procedure. Also a remedy for
honey-moon cystitis.
Circumstances surrounding cystitis also
lead us to consider specific remedies.
A tip from British homeopath, Hillary Dorrian:
“In cases of unbearable burning in the bladder and
urging, yet unable to pass but a few drops of urine,
consider alternating a well indicated remedy like
Cantharis…with Histaminum, when the well indicated
remedy doesn’t work on it’s own.”
Sometimes it can help to alternate a well
indicated remedy with histaminum.
