Nux vomica

Nux vomica & Pulsatilla

Spasm

Time For A Case

Sudden Urges

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.
