Radar/Boericke:
RATANHIA PERUVIANA (rat.)
(Krameria-Mapato)
The rectal symptoms are most important, and have received
much clinical confirmation. It has cured pterygium. Violent hiccough.
Cracked nipples. [Graph.; Eup.ar.] Pin worms.
Head.-Bursting in head after stool, and when sitting with
head bent forward. Sensation as if scalp from nose to vertex
were stretched.
Stomach.-Pain like knives cutting the stomach.
Rectum.-Aches, as if full of broken glass. Anus aches and
burns for hours after stool. Feels constricted. Dry heat at
anus, with sudden knife-like stitches. Stools must be forced
with great effort; protrusion of haemorrhoids. Fissures of anus, with
great constriction, burning like fire,
as do the haemorrhoids;
temporarily relieved by cold water. Fetid, thin diarrhoea;
stools burn; burning pains before and after stools. Oozing at
anus. Pin-worms. [Sant.; Teuc.; Spig.] Itching of anus.
Relationship.-Compare : Paeon.; Croton (rectal neuralgia);
Sanguin.nit. (diseases of rectum); Macuna prurens - Dolichos - piles, with
burning; haemorrhoidal diathesis; Silico-sulphocalcite of Alumina; Stag-blast
iron furnace cinder-(anal itching,
piles, and constipation; housemaid's knee); abdominal
flatulent distension and lumbago. Analogue to Lycopod.
Dose.-Third to sixth potency. Locally, the Cerate has
proved invaluable in many rectal complaints.
