Croton tiglium
Guernsey, Key Notes to the Materia Medica, 1887, p. 107
Skin
In any skin disease which itches very much, but the patient can’t bear to scratch very hard as it hurts; a very slight scratch, a mere rub suffices to allay twitching. Erysipelas that itches exceedingly.
Stool p. 108
In diarrhœa, when the bowels are moved with a spasmodic jerk or burst, and it is all out; coming out like a shot.
Sensations p. 108
Otorrhœa when there is great itching. Drawing pain through the left pectoral region into the back; asthma with cough, which produces this pain; this pain is often felt (on either side) by nursing women, and every suck the child gives, causes this terrible pain, running through from nipple to back. Inflamed breasts, or breasts that threaten to gather, accompanied with this pain. (On giving Croton, the pain may at first shift from one side to the other, but do not change the remedy.) Sensation as if hide-bound.
Generalities p. 108
Feeling as though one cannot think outside of himself, “feels all pent up” inside, and no chance for the thoughts to flow out.
Remedy following p. 108
Rhus tox.
