Nux vomica
Natural History.
Poison-nut
General.
Is the greatest of polychrests, because the bulk of its symptoms
correspond in similarity with those of the commonest and most
frequent of diseases. It is frequently the first remedy, indicated
after much dosing, establishing a sort of equilibrium of forces and
counteracting chronic effects.
Nux is pre-eminently the remedy for many of the conditions
incident to modern life. The typical Nux patient is rather thin,
spare, quick, active, nervous, and irritable. He does a good deal of
mental work; has mental strains and leads a sedentary life, found in
prolonged office work, over study, and close application to business,
with its cares and anxieties. This indoor life and mental strain
seeks stimulants, coffee, wine, possibly in excess; or again, he
hopes to quiet his excitement, by indulging in the sedative effects
of tobacco, if not really a victim, to the seductive drugs, like
opium, etc. These things are associated with other indulgences; at
table, he takes preferably rich and stimulating food; wine and women
play their part to make him forget the close application of the day.
Late hours are a consequence; a thick head, dyspepsia, and irritable
temper are the next day's inheritance. Now he takes some cathartic,
liver pills, or mineral water, and soon gets into the habit of taking
these things, which still further complicate matters. Since these
frailties are more yielded to by men than women, Nux is pre-eminently
a male remedy. These conditions produce an IRRITABLE, nervous system,
hypersensitive and over impressionable, which Nux will do much to
soothe and calm. Especially adapted to digestive disturbances, portal
congestion, and hypochondriacal states depending thereon.
Convulsions, with consciousness; worse, touch, moving. ZEALOUS FIERY
TEMPERAMENT. Nux patients are easily chilled, avoid open air, etc.
Nux always seems to be out of tune; inharmonious spasmodic action.
