Cadmium Sulph 159 Cadmium Sulph Cadmium Sulph is a profoundly effective homoeopathic remedy. Its patients do not like to do any physical or mental work. They hate doing anything. Sulphur patients are also lethargic. They keep planning to become rich but do nothing to attain their goals. The Opium patient also remains in his imaginary world and thinks about the same way, but does not want to move himself or do any kind of work. The salient features of Cadmium Sulph are anguish and restlessness. In this way it resembles Arsenic, but an Arsenic patient has one typical feature opposite to Cadmium Sulph. An Arsenic patient cannot tolerate any irregularity in his day-to-day life. He keeps everything in its proper order and is not afraid of hard work, while the patient of Cadmium Sulph is lazy, like a Sulphur patient, and his things are in great disarray. Cadmium Sulph acts on the stomach like Arsenic. There is irritation inside the stomach that sometimes may not even let the patient sleep. Cadmium Sulph is a good treatment for this condition. Another distinguishing feature is that the Arsenic patient keeps on turning sides and cannot lie in one position for long, while the Cadmium patient feels pain on movement. Even if he is restless, his tiredness and laziness are more pronounced. He does not like to move at all. His expression of restlessness is merely verbal. In Cadmium Sulph, like Zinc, there is cramping of the muscles. The Zinc patient keeps on moving the affected part of body, placing his one foot on the other, or keeps on shaking his legs. Unlike Zinc, the Cadmium Sulph patient feels restlessness all over, yet does not make any movement at all. Cadmium Sulph is useful in the diseases of the eye. It is very useful for swollen eyelids, pain in the eye, as well as sores and ulcers of the eye. It is also useful in the treatment of drooping eyelids (ptosis). It is useful for invigorating the nerve fibres of the eye, in addition to working on external eye conditions. Cadmium Sulph is mostly indicated in the treatment of diseases affecting one side. I have mostly found it useful in the treatment of strokes affecting the left side of the body. The paralysis affects one eye or one side of the body. If
