Dioscorea Villosa 310 In Dioscorea, bleeding piles also occur. The piles are in the form of large bunches of red grapes. There may be diarrhoea, which is worse in the morning. There is a feeling of burning at the time of defaecation. The Dioscorea patient feels his chest is tight and tense. He cannot expand his chest to its full extent so his breathing is shallow. The fingernails are brittle and break easily. The symptoms of Dioscorea become worse in the evening, on lying on the stomach or on bending forward. On standing upright or on walking slowly, and with application of light pressure, the symptoms get better. Chamomilla and Camphor are its antidotes. Potency: 30
