Fifteen percent of all woman suffer form recurring bladder
infections. The most common symptoms are: urinary frequency with great
urging accompanied with possible burning, dark colored cloudy urine and
lower abdominal pain. A common reason sighted is the proximity of the
urethra to the vagina, providing easy access to the bacteria. This
implies a defect in "design" which clearly leaves many arguments open
for debate. Homeopathy is concerned with individual symptomatology
rather then the one size fits all type of treatment. The emotions as
well as the physical peculiarities of the condition are an integral part
of the homeopathic model. The beauty of homeopathy is that in the
process of making a remedy very specific symptomatology is revealed.
Following is a list of some of the most common remedies with some of
their peculiar characteristics. Read each remedy picture and see which
one fits your symptoms best. These remedies should at least relieve the
acute episode of this most uncomfortable problem. If it does not, you got
the wrong remedy. A homeopath should be consulted for the chronic
problems. Several dozen remedies would be considered by a professional
homeopath for this problem. Here I give you the most prominent. The
bold type means the most important feature of the remedy. Also, don't be
put off by the name of the remedy. Around the world homeopaths use the
same Latin name. If you were in India or France or Chile for example, and
you asked for the remedy "Cantharis" the pharmacist would know exactly
what you need.
Staphysagria 30C: the bladder infection
starts after some emotional turmoil or after sexual activity with the
feeling as invasion, the feeling of not being able to say no, and
displeasure with intercourse even though the sex drive is healthy. This
remedy has gained the reputation of being the newlywed remedy. When the
sexual activity increases a great deal and the new bride feels
overwhelmed but does not want to turn him down.
Nux vomica 30C: has the common physical symptoms with
great urging, even for stool. The temperament of the Nux vomica person
is that of a workaholic whose symptoms come on after excesses in
stimulants such as coffee, drugs, alcohol or heavy food. These people
are generally chilly, irritable and very fastidious.
Pulsatilla 30C: has frequent urging to urinate from
pressure on the bladder. She has a temperament of being however very
yielding type of person. Weeping frequently with a constant need to have
someone strong by her side to lean on although she may seem to be
independent.
Cantharis 30C: has very strong, violent burning
sensation. There is strong voluptuous sexual desire, an amorous frenzy
disposition. Cold application lessens the pain. Strong desire to
urinate.
Berberis 9C: has the particularity of cutting pain
radiating to the lower back, the kidney area, the pelvis ot the thighs.
The pain is felt very deeply.
Equisetum 9C: has bladder pain made worse at the close of
urination. Urination itself is burning. Frequent desire to pass large
amount of clear urine.
Sarsaparilla 6C: has extremely sensitive and burning tip
of urethra. frequently the bladder sensibility is accompanied by dry and
easily cracking skin on the hands particularly the thumb. This person is
usually easily irritable or easily offended. A rather hot tempered lady.
I hope these can help you overcome this awfully discomforting
problem. As a professional homeopath I take a much more detailed
approach. The complexity of the physical, emotional and mental levels
must fit the remedy in order to have a long lasting cure. Wholistic is
not a catch word in homeopathy it is an absolute requirement. We have
hundreds of remedies to chose from and we can bring about long lasting
relief in most instances. Be well.
