Homeopathic Treatment

Check if most symptoms of any of these medicines match with your symptoms:

Aloe 30 : Pain in, and distension of the abdomen, early in the morning, from accumulation of gas. The patient is driven out of the bed and has to hurry to the lavatory. A lot of gas and a small amount of stool, laden with yellowish mucous pass out, causing burning of the anus. The abdominal pain ceases after the stool but the victim is left weak and perspiring.

Arsenic 30 : Frequent, small, watery, dark and offensive stools, especially at midnight (12-2 a.m.), with rapid loss of strength. There is severe, burning pain in the abdomen and the anus. The person is mentally restless and thinks death is imminent.

China 30 : For chronic dysentery characterised by painless, brown, loose motions at night with passage of excessively offensive gas. The victim rapidly loses weight and grows weak.

Carbo veg 30 : Accumulation of gas in the abdomen, followed by frequent, offensive loose motions, leaving the victim cold and devastated. Copious cold sweat on the body with impending collapse. The person wishes to be fanned constantly, from a close distance.

Merc sol 30 : Severe pain in the abdomen, especially at night, followed by slimy, bloody, very offensive stool which corrodes the anus. Even after the stools, satisfaction eludes the victim and abdominal pain persists. There is trembling of the body, profuse- offensive perspiration and intense thirst for large amounts of cold water. The tongue is thick and moist, showing imprint of teeth.

Phos 30 : Severe burning in the abdomen especially in the morning followed by profuse, loose stools. The victim feels as if the anus remains wide open. An oversensitive nature and a craving for cold drinks/foods (ice-cream) are other pointers to this medicine.
