Infertility and hatred towards conjugal relationship develops.

discharge is yellow. The woman feels uneasy, sad and depressed. She
is usually sad and sallow. She may develop hysteria. The uterus remains inflamed. The nose
bleeds. Agnus Castus is a treatment of choice in this symptom complex. The Agnus Castus patient thinks of
committing suicide and
is indifferent to the world around her. She prepares herself for impending
death. In Arum Mur, the tendency to commit suicide and depression are prominent
features which become part of the patient’s temperament. But in Agnus Castus,
such tendency is transient and short-lived.
The patient has a weak memory,
she is absent-minded and neurotic, she lacks courage and lacks determination.
She feels pain on the temporal areas and forehead, aggravated by movement. The patient is hypersensitive to light (as in many other remedies)
and develops headache due to light-hypersensitivity. In case the headache is
already present, it becomes unbearable in light, so much so that the eyes
cannot be opened. Graphites is good in isolated light-sensitivity without the
symptoms of Agnus Castus. The bony
bridge of the nose is painful but feels better with pressure. The patient can be unusually sensitive to certain kinds of
fragrance. The cheeks itch and tingle, this is specific in Agnus
Castus. There is wind in the tummy. The stomach rumbles. The
intestines seem to be falling downwards, and the patient holds on to the drooping
belly. Agnus Castus is useful in certain male sexual disorders,
such as sexual weakness and impotence, secondary to the pubertal misconduct. It
also relieves nervous
disorders (like Kali Phos).
