Cholera
Sulphur is the best preventative treatment during a
cholera epidemic. Sulphur 200 every day
for two days and then twice a week saves one from contracting cholera. As soon
as the symptoms of cholera appear, Camphor in a low potency can cure cholera
altogether. Once the symptoms have started, especially the silent type of
cholera, associated with large exuberant watery stools, causing severe dehydration
and weakness leading to coldness of the body, can best be treated with Camphor.
The most prominent indication for Camphor is nausea and vomiting, more so than
diarrhoea.
Cuprum is also an extremely effective treatment of cholera
especially the kind associated with severe abdominal colic and severe
cramps in the hands and the feet, starting in the fingers and toes and
then spreads
upwards. This type of cholera is best treated with Cuprum.
In the diarrhoea of Cuprum, the stools are scanty, frequent and
associated with severe griping. The cholera associated with exuberant
amounts of stools and severe cramps in the calves will respond best
to Veratrum Album. The following remedies may also be of use:
Aethusa Podophyllum
Arsenicum Album Secale Cor
Carbo Veg
Abdominal Colic in Intestinal Infections
This may be associated with the tendency of nausea and
vomiting due to cholera or any other illness. It should be treated with the combination
of Croton 30, Ipecac 30, Carbo Veg 30, Baptisia 30. Nausea and vomiting that
get better with drinking cold water is indicative of Cuprum. Cuprum is also effective in the
treatment of mumps. Similarly, Cuprum is useful in the treatment of
paralysis of a limb caused by
typhoid fever. The other possible remedies are:-
Antimonium Crudum Dioscorea
Argentum Nitricum Iris
Arsenicum Album Nux Vomica
Colchicum Pulsatilla
Colocynthis Sulphur
