Iris Versicol or is ideal for the treatment of hyperacidity of the stomach, whereas in Iris Tenax the hyperacidity of the stomach is associated with sy mptoms related to the throat and mouth cavity.

Therefore, in general, its usage has been restricted only to appendicitis. In fact, it is also very useful in the treatment of other day-to-day problems.

Clinical Observations

The temple areas hurt. There is burning and itching over the scalp. This itch is not the us ual kind but merely a temporarily associated burning sensation. This is certainly not a permanent ailment.

There is pain and severe cramping in the lower part of th e abdomen. Being more closely Iris Tenax 410related to the right side , it is considered the best treatment for appendicitis .

Dr. Vig himself never mentioned the use of Iris Tenax for appendicitis. But in view of its symptoms, subsequent experimentation with Iris Tenax has found it to be very useful in the treatment of appendicitis. I have often used Iris Tenax with Arnica🌿 ArnicaMateria Medica Clinical Profile: Click to explore Boericke keynotes, symptoms, modalities, and dosage guidelines. and Bryonia🌿 BryoniaMateria Medica Clinical Profile: Click to explore Boericke keynotes, symptoms, modalities, and dosage guidelines. in potency 200 for the treatment of appendicitis, and found it very useful and amazingly eff ective. If cramps are the salient symptom, then instead of Bryonia one should use Belladonna🌿 BelladonnaMateria Medica Clinical Profile: Click to explore Boericke keynotes, symptoms, modalities, and dosage guidelines.. Very often, appendicitis can become co mplicated and lead to a very dangerous situation. The triad just mentioned can bring the situation under control. I often would get sick with appendicitis and used to get better with this prescription. Once, while travelling, I felt uneasy right from the beginning of the journey. I used these three medicines. We travelled the whole night.

The next day, I drove the car myself for 400 miles and we reached Karachi. The pain had remained under control throughout the journey. The ne xt day I was taken to a hospital and examined by a surgeon. He was amazed to find that my appendix had burst open, discharging pus. The surgeon could not comprehend that not only was I alive but had al so driven the car for 400 miles. Naturally, I underwent the surgical removal of my appendix, but I did not take penicillin; instead I used homoeopathic antibacterial drugs. My advice to homoeopathy students, as well as to the patients, is that they should not totally depend upo n these three remedies and keep postponing the need for surgery. On ce the appendix is diseased, the homoeopathic remedies may only be used temporarily but the removal of the appendix by surgery is still the best treatment.

The pain of appendicitis can start du ring any time of the day or night. However, the usual time described for appendicitis is the night. According to my experience, there is no such restrict ion on the time of the onset of appendicitis. In Iris Tenax, the pain starts on the right side and then spreads in the en tire abdomen. There is a tendency towards severe vomiting. On waking up in the morning, the Iris Tenax patient has a sinking sensation over the stomach. There is severe pain in the abdomen, moving from the right to the left. Many a time the patient develops diarrhoea at night, which aggr avates further by midnight. Hyperacidity of the stomach may lead to frequent urination. If the patient happens to feel a burning se nsation during frequent urination Iris Tenax 411and the colour of the urine is brow n, then this is a symptom of Iris Tenax.

Excessive and frequent urination leaves the patient very weak and makes it difficult for him to walk. Such patients shou ld be treated with Iris Tenax. The Iris Tenax patient loses sleep. In spite of decrease in pain and extreme weakness he is unable to get up in the morning. Potency: 30 to 200
