Constipation

Indicated in low states, like typhoid fever, with painless diarrhoea, hepatic and splenic enlargement and haemorrhagic tendency; in fatty degeneration of heart, liver and pancreas; in many diseases of the respiratory tract, as laryngitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, phthisis and chronic coughs, with absence of fever, and tendency to bleeding from trifling causes; in gastric ulcer, haematemesis, gastritis, gastralgia with burning, constrictive, knife-like pain; in diseases of the liver, as jaundice, especially of a severe type, and cirrhosis; in diseases of the pancreas; in nervous affections, as chorea, paralysis, brain-fag, softening of the brain, insanity, especially with ideas of grandeur; in diabetes; in caries of bones, as lower jaw, nasals, vertebrae; in sexual exhaustion and the evils attending it; well adapted to tall thin persons of amative disposition, with a history of sexual excesses, and to cases of a pronounced haemorrhagic diathesis.
Homeopathic Medicine :: Platinum
Indicated in affections, chiefly of women, resting upon a neurotic basis, as hysteria, melancholia, particularly religious and sexual, and mania, especially puerperal; in these, exaltation of self, fear of death and a remarkable degree of sexual excitement are nearly always present. Also of service in neuralgia (face, head, stomach, ovaries) with a sense of numbness in the parts; ovarian and uterine affections of women who have excessive menstrual flow of dark, clotted blood, albuminous leucorrhoea, and nervous symptoms of reflex origin. In constipation and colic dur to lead-poisoning.
Homeopathic Medicine :: Plumbum
Indicated chiefly in diseases of spinal origin (sclerosis, paralysis, locomotor ataxia), in neuralgia, colic of a violent character (painter?s colic); constipation. Has been used in strangulated hernia and inussusception, and in Bright?s disease.
Homeopathic Medicine :: Podophyllum – May-Apple
Indicated in diarrhoea, cholera infantum, cholera morbus. The morning aggravation and the tendency to anal prolapse are valuable indications. Of service in bilious states generally, with gastro-intestinal symptoms; alternating diarrhoea and constipation.
Homeopathic Medicine :: Sepia – Cuttle-Fish Juice
Indicated principally in diseases of women, preferably of dark hair, rigid fibre, milk disposition; in menstrual irregularities, uterine displacements, affections occurring during pregnancy, lying-in, and lactation; in the constipation connected with these troubles. Described as ?washer-woman?s remedy;? ?everything goes to the back.?
Homeopathic Medicine :: Silicea – Silica
Indicated in conditions due to imperfect assimilation of food and to innutrition. Frequently employed during the development of suppurative processes, over which it has a marked influence, both in preventing suppuration and in controlling excessive pus-formation and its consequences. It is an antipsoric of far-reaching power, and as such often proves of great efficacy in conditions which seem beyond its range of action, as epilepsy. Its chief sphere of usefulness is in suppurative processes, as abscesses, joint-disease, carbuncle; scrofulous affections of the bone, rachitis, Pott?s disease, necrosis, etc.; glandular affections; eczema and eruptions inclined to ulcerate; old, offensive catarrhs; all sorts of abscesses, as tonsilitis and hepatic abscesses; cough of phthisis, with very fetid expectoration; bronchorrhoea, especially of old people.
Homeopathic Medicine :: Sulphur
Indicated in scrofulous conditions, in persons of uncleanly habits, lank and stoop-shouldered, in affections resulting from suppression of an eruption; in those subject to venous congestion and disturbed portal circulation. Characterized by periodicity and relapses. General inertia, aggravation from standing, acridity of the discharges, tendency of the skin to ulcerate from slight injury and, in children, dislike of being washed, are reliable indications. Frequently used in acute diseases when the indicated remedy fails to act, under the belief that it ?clears up? the case or stimulates vital reaction. It holds to chronic diseases a relation similar to that of Aconite to acute affections.
Homeopathic Medicine :: Alumina – Aluminium Hydrate
Indicated in persons of low vitality, of advanced years; in chronic nasal and post-nasal catarrh, with dryness of the mucous membrane; sore throat of public speakers; painter?s colic. Dryness of the mucous membrane and inactivity of the rectum are characteristic.
Homeopathic Medicine :: Chelidonium Majus – Celandine
Indicated in diseases of the liver and gall bladder and in disorders associated with or depending on hepatic disease. Acts best in persons of light complexion, thin, fretful, and subject to gastric, abdominal and hepatic derangements. Also used in coughs, bronchitis, pneumonia and rheumatism.
