Varoon (27) presented with symptoms of peptic ulcer. He reported that he felt a “vacant feeling” at the pit of the stomach with intense abdominal pain, along with a sour taste in the mouth. He also said that his mouth “smelled real bad” Varoon had a tendency to throw up thick, yellow mucous. His bowel activity was sluggish it showed on his face. On further case analysis, we found that he was prone to quick anger and abusive behavior. We put his on Hydrastic. On follow up, Varoon reported excellent progress.
Ulcerative colitis is another illness that presents with inflammation and ulcers in the lining of the colon and rectum. It often causes bloating, cramps, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, fatigue and anaemia. Nishita (32), a working mother, who suffered from ulcerative colitis, had lost a good 11 kgs, in spite of a healthy diet regimen and regular workouts at the gym. She began to eat less to avoid frequent washroom visits at her office.
When we analyzed her case, we could surmise feelings of anxiety and restleness. She also complained of hot, foul smelling motions, cutting pains and constant straining even after passing stools. We put her on Mercutius Corrosivus, which matched well with her physical and emotional symptoms. In 3-4 weeks, her colitis symptoms reduced by 60-65npercent. Two months later, Nishita was completely free of all her troublesome symptoms.
