Cyclamen Europaeum 304 is lost (hemianopia) and spots of different colours appear before the eyes. In Cyclamen the right ear hurts , feeling drawn in. Thundering noises are heard in the ears so the hearing is also affected. In Cyclamen, there is a feeling of burning, dryness and scraping in the throat. The patient does not usually feel thirsty, but during a fever, especially in the evening, he feels very thirsty. The stomach symptoms of Cyclamen are comparable to those of Pulsatilla. The patient hates fatty food. His stomach feels hot and burns and is much worse after drinking coffee. A typical symptom of Cyclamen is that every time the patient drinks coffee, he will have diarrhoea. The hiccuping associated with stomach upset is also a characteristic of Cyclamen. Cyclamen is similar to Gelsemium regarding the feeling of the dryness of the mouth, lack of thirst and excessive urination. Usually, the patient also sweats much less, however, while sick, he sweats a lot. The quantity of the urine is much increased. The urine is colourless like water and passed frequently. The phlegm in a patient of Cyclamen is whitish. It means that the invasion by the bacteria has not been severe and the obvious infection has not been established. In Cyclamen, the patient experiences a suffocating cough. The superficial bones hurt. There is severe cramping of the right thumb and the index finger , which becomes worse on writing. The heel of the foot throbs like an abscess. Sometimes this kind of pain may be associated with the formation of bone spurs which need needing prolonged treatment as a result of which, the excessive outgrowth of the bone may stop. Once these spurs develop to a significant size, surgery is indicated. The remedies implied to relieve this kind of heel pain are Arnica, Ledum, Ruta, Calcarea Flour, Rhus Tox, as well as Calcarea Carb. In Cyclamen, scratching relieves the itching. The itchiness (pruritis) is relieved at the onset of menstruation. Potency 30 to 200
