HEALING BY HOMEOPATHY: NUX-VOMICA, A POLYCHREST

2015-39  Healing by Homeopathy: Nux-vomica, a Polychrest


Nux-Vomica

No household should be without its little homeopathic medicine chest for common ailments. And no homeopathic medicine chest should be without Nux-vomica
Nux-vomica is pre-eminent among Dr Hahnemann's polychrests - medicines of many uses.
Hahnemann tells us that Nux is most frequently needed by persons of an anxious, zealous, fiery, hot temperament. Hypersensitiveness to light, to noise, to odours, to touch. Easily offended, mental workers or people having sedentary occupations. Persons addicted to stimulants, narcotics, debauches, etc. 

Nux-vomica acts best when given at night, during repose of mind and body. [Sulphur in the morning]. 

Dr M.L.Tyler writes "Nux-vom is a great medicine for drunkards. An aunt of ours, seeing the misery of a poor family where the father drank, sent some Nux-vom; with the result, a happy family and no drink!" 

Hahnemann says that serious ailments from catching cold are often removed by Nux-vom which has chilliness on the slightest exposure to open air


Nux-vom is good for colds with a blocked nose at night and a runny nose during the day; flu with fever and stiff, shivering, aching muscles; and coughs with retching or dry, tickling coughs with pain in larynx.

In women, Nux-vom is given for early, heavy or irregular menstruation, and where there is faintness before menstruation. It is also used to treat cystitis, frequent urination, cramps, and morning sickness in pregnancy, and labour pain. 

The Nux-vom constipation is caused by irregular peristaltic action of the intestines, hence the frequent, ineffectual desire for stool. [With Bryonia, there is no desire, and the stools are dry and hard, as if burnt!"]
