Tip of the day

Colic With severe burning Pain and Solarnum nig.

When you have a case of colic with severe burning pains do not fix your mind on Arsenicum to the exclusion of other remedies, but keep in mind Solanum nig. The abdominal pains of this latter drug are very similar to Colocynth, also -i. e., better from bending forward and from pressure. But unlike Colocynth the pains extend upward toward the heart and left shoulder.

Some bed-side notes.
