DYSPEPSIA HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT contnd.....
-JOUSSET P
Dyspepsia with marked Gastric Symptoms. The principal remedies are Nux Vomica , Graphites, Bryonia, Pulsatilla, China Carbo veg., Lycopodium, Lachesis, Baryta carb., and Antimonium crudum.
Nux Vomica and Graphites.-Given in alternation. Nux Vomica before meals, and Graphites after, is a good treatment for dyspepsia.
Nux Vomica is the principal remedy for the stomach; it is valuable to those who suffer from haemorrhoids, and , as Hahnemann states, to strong, sanguine, and irritable constitutions. Sedentary habits, excess in alcoholic beverage, mental over-work, habitual constipation are also indications for the use of this drug.
The gastric symptoms which suggest this drug are disgust for food, with nausea, or a ravenous but easily satisfied hunger; sensation of overloading of the stomach after meals, with flat taste; eructations; bitter and sour regurgitations, pyrosis, and sometimes acid vomiting; malaise; despondency; heat and redness of the cheeks, sometimes accompanied by coldness of the body.
Graphites has similar symptoms: bitter and sour regurgitations of food, rumination, ptyalism, pituita. Vomiting of food is more marked than in Nux Vom., as well as the indigestion of liquids. This remedy answers well in cases of gastric dilatation.
Doses: Nux Vom., an hour before and Graphites an hour after the principal meals, in the 12th dilution, is my favourite dose.
Bryonia.-The character of the pain and the aggravation from motion indicate Bryonia. The pain caused by this drug is that of pressure on the pit of the stomach. This is accompanied by swelling, and occurs immediately after meals, sometimes before the patient is through eating.
Walking, and especially coming down stairs, aggravate this pain, and make it unbearable. Sometimes it extends to the bladder and perineum. It is ameliorated by sitting, and especially lying down.
Vomiting of food soon after meals is characteristic of Bryonia. The vomit sometimes is bilious, or composed of water, or even blood.
Doses: The 6th and 12th dilutions are most frequently indicated. Pulsatilla.-Aggravation by fatty food, and aversion to fat, milk, butter, meat, and hot food, rancid taste in the mouth or that of spoiled meat; eructation acid or of rancid taste; pyrosis; bilious vomiting; vomiting of food ingested several days before, which is a sign of dilatation of stomach, and which is frequently accompanies dyspepsia. Pains are sometimes relieved by eating.
There is usually a great aversion to drinks. Diarrhoea and undigested stools are characteristic of Pulsatilla.
China-Cases of dyspepsia produced by the abuse of quinine are of frequent occurrence. We should not be at all surprised to find this remedy to be a powerful therapeutic agent in this affection.
The following characteristic symptoms indicate the use of China: Weight, slow digestion, with eructations, and rumination, sensation of fullness, sometimes disappearing on eating, and at other times it returns by the smallest meal. Appetite is compatible with this disease. Gastric flatulency is characteristic of this remedy. It is therefore well indicated in gouty dyspepsia.
Diarrhoea, especially right after eating, sleepy feeling, weakness of the limbs, dread of motion, despondency, hypochondriasis, are symptoms which call for China.
Doses: The 6th dilution has given me the most success, but there are cases where we should use lower or higher doses. Carbo vegetabilis is indicated in the treatment of very chronic dyspepsia in the old. There is usually much flatulency, acidity, and sour eructations, headache and vertigo, rarely constipation. To these symptoms tympanites and painful hiccough should be added.
Doses: The 12th and the 30th dilutions.
