## Keynote Indications
This homoeopathic remedy is prepared from the saliva of a rabid dog.
It is a very important anticonvulsiv e medicine, especially in treating
the laryngeal spasm  ( constriction of the throat ).  Its onset of
convulsions is related to hypersens itivity to light and water.  The
patient goes into severe convulsions at the sight of bright light, shining
objects or upon seeing water.  Even though the convulsions and fear
are related to seeing water, the pa tient cannot sip water even if he
closes his eyes out of fear.  The sa liva of the patient is like sticky
threads as in Coccus Cacti and Kali Bichrome.  Though in
Hydrocotyle, the saliva may or may not be sticky and thready.

A Hydrophobinum patient has difficulty in swallowing  things.  He
keeps on attempting to swallow even without eating or drinking
anything.  The froth forms at the mouth and the patient keeps on
spitting continuously.

This medicine is also useful in the treatment of sex-related diseases.
In women, it is especially useful in the treatment of pain and
discomfort related to th e prolapse of the uterus .  Due to extreme
hypersensitivity, the sound or even the thought of running water can
aggravate the symptoms.  A slight draft of air can also aggravate the
symptoms.
