Constipation

NUX VOMICA 200

For the cure of constipation Nux Vomica is used often than any other and very many times with but little benefit. If given according to the characteristic, it always relieves. It cures constipation when it is given, especially in higher potencies.

The constipation of N. V. is due to the so called modern living, over eating, irregular time of eating, consuming spicy food, excess of teacoffee etc.

The most important characteristic of this remedy is frequent ineffectual desire to pass stools but passes small quantities only. The person, never feels satisfied, feels as if little stools were left behind in the rectum. This symptom is pure gold.

Absence of desire for defecation contra-indicates Nux. V.

Alternate constipation and diarrhea, after abuse of purgatives.

Nux Vomica should never be given in constipation in low potency.
