Typical features

  There is in сhamomilla a little thread of symptoms, and nearly always found running through it. This is a spiteful, sudden, or uncivil irritability (Guernsey). Teste puts сham. at the head of one of his groups, which includes Grat., Viol. t., Hell. n. The common feature of this group is: A particular derangement of the cerebral functions and even of the whole nervous system; a painful increase of the sentient action, followed by a considerable depression of the vital forces, and a certain disorder of the mental faculties. In spite of its obvious analogies with Puls., Ipec., Acon., and сoni., it has marked and exclusive characteristics of its own. It increases the general nervous sensibility, and stimulates the cerebral functions: a property that seems to give rise secondarily to the various organic alterations that сham. is capable of producing, and for which it has so often been given with success. It appears, says Hahnemann, quoted by Teste, to diminish [i.e., curatively] in a great degree, the excessive sensitiveness to pain and the violent derangements which pain occasions in the moral condition of the patient. This is the reason why it appeases a multitude of sufferings to which coffee-drinkers, and persons who have been treated with narcotic palliatives are subject. And this is likewise the reason why it ought not to be given to those who bear pain patiently and with resignation. I mention this rule here, for it is of very great importance. Teste remarks an this that сham. antidotes not only сoffea, but also сausticum, and most of the members of the сausticum group. Over-sensitiveness, with great irritability and crossness, is the leading note of the сhamomilla effects. The pains are unbearable and drive to despair; the patient insists that the doctor shall cure them at once. Prostrating debility as soon as the pains begin. The senses are too acute. вad temper (Nux is malicious). Peevishness; ill-humour; anger, with rage, violence and heat. сannot bear to be looked at. сannot be civil to doctor. Impatience. сham. also corresponds to the effects of anger: colic, diarrhoea, jaundice, twitchings, and convulsions. сhild cries, and must be carried about to be quieted. There is hot sweat on head. Stopped up colds, with dripping of hot water from nose. One cheek red, the other pale. Face sweats after eating or drinking. The patient is hot and thirsty with the pains. сham. is almost typical of the dentition state. The toothache of сham. comes on when entering a warm room or from drinking anything warm. There is fetor of breath, and of discharges in general. вiliousness preceded by anger. Gastralgia, food eaten lies like a load on stomach, hypochondria distended. Tongue yellowish white. вitter taste. сolic by drinking coffee. The diarrhoea of сham. is: stool hot, yellowish green; like chopped egg; offensive; excoriation round anus. Intertrigo of children. Wind colic; belching of wind вeing carried about. Touch, and even looking at the patient, toothache.
