Homeopathic Medicine :: Opium

Indicated in a grave class of disease, chiefly of the brain, characterized by profound sopor or coma, with heavy, continuous, stertorous breathing; dark, livid face; hot sweat, especially about the head; hence its use in coma vigil, apoplectic states, and in exanthema when there is retrocession of the rash followed by brain symptoms. Used also in lead colic and in stubborn constipation due to paralysis of the intestinal muscular fibre.
