Euphorbia corollata

Homeopathic classical monopreparations

 E. сorollata, Linn. Natural order: Euphorbiaceae. Preparation: Tincture and triturations of the root.

 Great anxiety.

 Suddenly, with no premonitory symptoms of pain; a distressing sense of deathly nausea set in, accompanied in a few minutes by faintness (after one hour and a half); then sudden and powerful vomiting of, first the foot, etc., in the stomach, then large quantities of water mixed with mucus, then clear fluid like rice- water. In less than a minute after the vomiting commenced, great commotion in the bowels, followed immediately by copious watery evacuations, set in; this simultaneous vomiting and diarrhoea continued for nearly an hour, at short intervals, or intermissions, all the while accompanied by great anxiety, a deathlike sense of faintness and exhaustion. When given in large doses it is apt to induce inflammation of the mucous coat of the stomach and bowels, with hypercatharsis. It causes distressing nausea with prostration.

 During the height of its action the pulse sank to 40. Softness of the pulse.

 Languor. Great weakness. Deathlike sense of faintness and exhaustion. After 50 grains, the effects were much more intense, but lasted only a little longer. It resembled more nearly a severe attack of seasickness, or cholera morbus, than anything the doctor could imagine. In about two or three hours all the symptoms passed away, leaving only weakness as from hunger and a peculiar languor.

 Cool skin, covered with beaded sweat. сold hands, feet, and nose. Perspiration. 4 grains given every three hours will act as a diaphoretic.
