Medorrhinum 494 Medorrhinum has been found useful in the treatment of ascites (accumulation of water in the abdomen due to liver disease), as well as the swelling and inflammation of glands in the groins. The constipation of Medorrhinum is characterised by stools in the form of dry rounded droppings. The urine is scanty, brown in colour, very pungent and less frequent. It is possible that Medorrhinum may also be helpful to patients who have been rendered physically disabled and limp due to chronic joint pains. It is also useful in the treatment of frequent urination due to neurosis but not due to diabetes. Medorrhinum is also closely linked to conditions related to the kidney, urinary bladder and prostate gland. The first and foremost treatment of kidney pain (renal colic) is Aconite 1000 and Belladonna 1000 combined, two doses given ten minutes apart. The patient will, by the grace of God, get better immediately. If the kidney pain gets worse with cold, then Mag Phos 6X repeated a few times or simply one dose of Colocynth CM will offer magical relief. After the relief of pain, its root cause i. e. the kidney stones, must be treated appropriately. If the kidney pain is caused by inflammation or infection rather than by stones, the proper curative treatment should be sought, and this could be Medorrhinum. Medorrhinum is also related to deafness , especially nerve deafness, in which the patient feels no pain. Medorrhinum is useful in chronic and progressive deafness. However, Sulphur should not be overlooked. In fact, I have treated patients who had developed deafness due to the thickening of the bone around the auditory nerve (otosclerosis) with Sulphur CM. The thickening tendency of the bone disappeared and hearing did not deteriorate any further. In Medorrhinum, the teeth being very sensitive hurt on chewing food. Ulcers, having jagged margins, also form in the mouth. Medorrhinum has also been found beneficial in the treatment of chronic ankle pain. Medorrhinum is deeply related to asthma also. Generally, Nat Sulph is considered to be a very effective remedy for asthma. Natrum Sulph is often found useful in the treatment of children presenting symptoms of a familial type of gonorrhoea, but sometimes Medorrhinum may also be required, so as to better express the latent symptoms of
