Nux.v

Stomach: Pressure an hour or two after eating as from a stone (immediately after, kali bi., Nux m.).

'After eating: (Kali bich., Nux moschata) sour taste pressure in the stomach an hour or two afterward, with hypochondriacal mood, pyrosis tightness about the waist; must loosen clothing (Lachesis, Calcarea, and Lycopodium), confused cannot use mind two or three hours after meal, epigastrium bloated, with pressure as from a stone in the stomach.'

This is a group of symptoms as given in 'Guiding Symptoms.' There are so many symptoms given under the digestive organs that it shows that Nux vomica has really very wide range of action in gastric troubles. And there are no really characteristic and peculiar symptoms to mention, unless it be the peculiar aggravation of the stomach symptoms 'an hour or two after eating,' instead of immediately after as is the case with Nux moschata and Kali bichromicum. The pressure as from a stone occurs also in Bryonia and Pulsatilla.

More stress may be placed upon the cause of the stomach, liver and abdominal complaints for which Nux vomica is the remedy. For instance, coffee, alcoholic drinks, debauchery, abuse of drugs, business anxiety, sedentary habits, broken rest from long night watching (Cocc., Cup. met., Nit. ac.), too high living etc. So we find that Nux vomica is adapted to complaints arising from these causes, which is abundantly verified in practice.

One thing is very apt to be present in these cases: namely -the very characteristic rectal symptoms already noticed.

'Frequent and ineffectual desire to defecate or passing but small quantities of fæces at each attempt.'

There has been a comparision with kali bich.

It says the stomach pain of nux.v comes after two three hours of eating, but that of kali bich immediately after eating.

let us see what are the symptoms of Kali Bich.

Kali bichromicum has been of use in the treatment of stomach troubles. The vomiting is often of the ropy character, and here also, as in nose, mouth and throat, we may have formed 'round ulcers' But short of actual ulceration we have a form of dyspepsia, in which this remedy is very useful. It is often found in drunkards, especially beer drunkards. There is great weight in the stomach, fullness, a distress immediately after eating (like Nux moschata), but not like Nux vomica, which comes on two or three hours after, nor like Anacardium, which also comes on two or three hours after eating, and then the pain continues until he eats again, which relieves.

Now,let us look at the symptoms of gastric ulcer.

Gastric ulcer

Usually sufferers are above age 40
Periodical pain occurs immediately after food and finally pain persists
Pain is felt over the umbilicus and left to midline and no radiation of pain is felt
Pain is relieved by vomiting or alkali foods
Fear of eating due to pain
Weight loss will be there due to reduced intake
Nausea and vomit that looks like coffee grounds
Hametemesis (blood vomiting) may be present

Sensation of feeling fullness, indigestion and heartburn may be noticed immediately after eating. Patient often complains about gas trouble or belching

Thesymptoms more or less tally with the symptoms of kali bich.

So,kali Bich is considered a probable medicine for gastric ulcers. But, if you have a diagnosis of gastric ulcer,(probably confirmed by endoscope), and have the symptoms of Kali Bich,it is definitely goingto help.

But, if you do have a gastric ulcer, but, the symptoms are different, it won't help you. A remedy that matches the symptoms will benefit you.For example,it may be arg.nitricum for sopme people.

So,shouting Kali bich, the moment you listen the word ,gastric ulcer is not homeopathy.

A lot of belching, especially after sweet foods, alternating constipation and diarrhoea, fluttery feeling in stomach, suspected peptic ulcer – Argentum Nitricum.

Deepika wanted to know about Arg.Nitricum.

Differentiation of remedies is the key to the successful application of homeopathy.

now,let us see about anacardium.

anacardium pain too comes on two or three hours after eating,like nux.v,but the differentiation lies in the fact that anacardium pains get relieved if he eats something when the pain comes.

Nux.v pains come on 2,3 hours after eating,but get subsided on their own,once the process of digestion is completed.

Where as ,the anacardium pains, though start in a similar way,2,3 hours after eating,keep on increasing till the patient eats something.

Many times you will find patients who say, their stomach pains are relieved if they eat something.

Such people will get benefitted by Anacardium.

nux.moshata symptoms too come immediately after eating.Normally the stomach is enormously distended.Nux.moschata has a dry mouth,tongue and lips,but without thirst.

it can easily be distinguished from kali bich,by the distended abdomen,and dry mouth.
