## Keynote Indications
Pulex Irritans is very important fo r the treatment of urinary diseases
and women’s problems related to the uterus.  The patient of Pulex is
very short-tempered and easily provoked.  The patient develops
headache in the frontal area with the feeling that his eyes are really
big.  The face is wrinkled, showing signs of premature ageing.

There is metallic taste in the mouth.  There is a feeling of hair sticking
in the throat.  The patient feels unusually thirsty especially when
suffering from headache.  The patient’s breath has an offensive smell.

Stomach upset is associated with severe nausea, vomiting and
diarrhoea.  The stools smell offensive.  The abdomen is distended with
gas.

Urinary symptoms  are very important.  The patient needs to pass
urine frequently, though the urine is scanty.  The patient needs to rush
to the lavatory, lest he wets his clothes.  There is pressure on the
bladder and a burning se nsation along the urethra.  Sometimes, the
urine may stop altogether, causing se vere discomfort in the urinary
bladder.  The urine smells offensive.  In women, the discomfort and
irritation in the bladder before the onset of the menstrual period ,
the late onset of the period, exces sive salivation in the mouth and
severe vaginal burning, are exemplary symptoms of Pulex to be
treated with Pulex.

There is an excessive amount of vaginal discharge  which is very
odorous and stains the undergarments yellowish green.  These stains
are difficult to remove even with  a lot of washing.  The backache
resembles that of Oxalic Acid.  The skin smells.  The patient feels
better on sitting and lying down.  The discomfort increases on
walking, and is felt more on the left side of the body.

One characteristic of Pulex is very important whether its other
symptoms are present or not, i.e. Pulex is extraordinarily effective in
controlling the sudden urge to urinat e (urgency).  The patients wake
up frequently in order to urinate.  The remedy decreases the frequency
and significantly prolon gs their sleep.  It reduces the bad smell of
urine and clears its colour.

Pulex is very useful in the treatment of women’s cancer of the uterus
and liver .  It restores the functioning of the internal lining of the
uterus.  If chronic inflammation of  the uterus (endometritis) and the
inflammation of the ovaries preven t pregnancy, then the treatment
with Pulex over a period of few m onths can reasonably brighten the
chances of conception.

Potency:  200 or higher.
