Colocynth for colic

Severe pain in the abdomen area is often referred to as colic. Colocynth is very effective in treating abdominal cramps and is indicated in pains that are often very violent, sudden and are of crampy character. Pains are severe and force the patient to bend double for relief. Colic comes with indigestion, over-excitement or anger. Such abdominal pains may be associated with diarrhoea, vomiting or nausea. It is also very valuable in treating abdominal pains during menses. Four to five doses of 30c potency repeated at an interval of 15 minutes should help alleviate the suffering

Aconite for common cold

Aconite is often the most indicated medicine at the start of cold. As soon as one sees first signs of common cold ? e.g. running nose or sneezing ? aconite should be immediately used. Aconite is used internally and can be taken in pill form .30c potency would be a very safe potency in such situations. ?Suddenness? is the key indication for Aconite to be used ? sudden fevers, sudden colds. After exposure to cold air when first symptoms appear, Aconite is the most asked medicine. Remember Aconite is indicated only in the initial stages of illness. A high percentage of patients wouldn?t require the help of a physician if Aconite is administered well within time. Three to four doses of Aconite 30c repeated at an interval of 15 minutes should serve as the proverbial stitch in time.
