Lac Defloratum 454 symptoms are present, the treatment becomes very easy. Lac Defloratum is also useful in the treatment of vomiting during pregnancy. When a female patient with a cold body who has a tendency towards being overweight develops diabetes, Lac Defloratum may be a possible treatment for her. If a woman delivers an overweight child, while on normal food intake, it may very well be that her diabetes may be passed on to the child. If she is of a cold constitution, and her body remains cold then Lac Defloratum can offer a complete cure. Therefore, it must be used without any delay as soon as the diagnosis is made. Obese ladies with the feeling of cold all over and who are unable to digest milk will find this medicine very useful. It will also cure the vomiting during pregnancy in any woman who does not have a natural distaste for milk, but in pregnancy is unable to digest it. All the symptoms pertaining to the stomach dysfunctions result from the inability to digest milk. If the indigestion is due to not being able to digest milk or due to fatty food, the commonly used remedy is Pulsatilla. The nature of Pulsatilla is very hot, while that of Lac Defloratum is very cold and this is the main distinguishing factor between the two. A patient of Lac Defloratum has extreme photophobia. He feels a gritty sensation in the eyes. The vision is blurred. A patient of Lac Defloratum grinds his teeth at night. The grinding of the teeth may also be due to an infestation with worms or due to the swelling of the gums. Similarly, stomach upset and the indigestibility of the milk can also result in grinding of the teeth even in the absence of worm infestation. These three possibilities must be kept in mind. In the presence of worms, the child develops a severe itch over the nose, and the margins of the nose as well as the margins of the lips become yellowish. The second symptom is that the patient feels very hungry. Both these symptoms can be best treated with Cina, while Sabadilla is also very useful. The third symptom of Lac Defloratum is nausea , however there is no vomiting, except very rarely. In this respect, it is somewhat similar to Ipecac but in Ipecac the vomiting is relatively more frequent.
