RATANHIA- a snapshot

  • Suited to females who are dark scrawny and irritable.
    • They are delicate and nervous
    • And have never been able to carry the pregnancies to term
  • Haemorrhages
  • Sense of constriction as generality
  • Great debility, weakness with anxiety and sweating.
  • Rectum
    • Pain in rectum for hours after stools

(Glass like pain- RATANHIA, THUJA

Sticks sticking like pain- AESCULUS HIP

Splinter like pains- NITRIC ACID)

  • Stools burn when thin, also foetid
  • Constipation, hard stool with great straining
    • Headache when straining for stools (concomitant)
  • Fissures (like PEONIA which also has oozing with ulceration of rectal mucosa)
    • In anus
    • In nipples, cracks, in nursing women (GRAPH, SEP, EUPATORIUM AROM)
  • Toothaches during pregnancy (CHAMOMILA, LYSSINUM, NUX MOS, PULS, RAPHANUS, SEPIA, STAPH), become restless and have to get up and walk about from pain and are aggravated for hours after stools. When you think of aesculus hip, think of this remedy.
  • Pterygium
  • Pleural exudations and sore chest
  • Dreams of funerals

(Think of this remedy in persons who are complaining of pains here and there. They have many rectal complaints.)
