ANTIMONIUM CRUDUM

by Dr Tahira Anwar
Intern, Nehru Homoeopathic Medical College & Hospital, New Delhi

I inclined to grow fat,

Suitable for children, younges and extremes of life.
Ladies with watery, acrid, lumpy leucorrhoea
Old people with morning diarrhoea
Diarrhoea alternates with constipation
Continual drowsiness with every affections.

Great sadness, with lachrymose mood and weeping

In the moon light, I am not sleeping
Talking in rhymes
Repeating verses at times
Peevish and vexed without causation
With bad effects of disappointed affections
Symptoms reappearing
Changing locality
Aversion to cold bathing
Acids and pickles all I longing
I cant bear the heat of sun
Aggravation after taking cold one

Pain in head with nausea and nose bleeding

Making my vertex heavily aching
Loss of hair, making scalp shine
All these worse from bathing, candy and drinking acid wine
My nose is chapped, covered with crust
On all my face pimples, pustules, boils burst

Skin problems suits me well

Thick, hard scabs colored like Mel
Large horny corns on soles of feet
Not able to walk on stony street
Abnormal growth of the skin
Crushed nail, splits begin
Looks like warts and horny spots
Gastric derangements with eczema seen
Urticaria, measles, warts and gangrene
Dry skin at every sight
Itching and burning worse at night

Gastric complaints from over eating

Oh no, my stomach has constant belching and bloating
Breads and pastry are things I dont need
Pickles and acids all I feed
Suffering from discharge of flatus
From anus
Coming ichorous, oozing, yellow staining mucus

I am fretful, peevish child

Everyone knows I am not at all mild
Cannot bear to be touched
Or to be looked
With loss of appetite
My tongue looks thick, milky coated white
This is my red strand symptom
Now you remember me as Antomonium Crudum
