## Keynote Indications
Senecio is commonly used in the treatment of gynaecological
problems of young girls.  During early adolescence, the periods may
become irregular on expos ure to the cold.  If not treated properly in
time, the condition may last throu ghout their life.  In addition to
Calcarea Phos, Senecio is also famous in the treatment of this
condition.  Young girls do not usually compla in out of shyness.  They
may be careless in taking a cold shower, submerge their feet in cold
water, remaining wet and exposed af ter a shower or walking in the
wet weather with naked feet.  This can result in serious irregularity of
menstruation.  All these symptoms can be treated with Senecio.

Bleeding is the hallmark of Senecio.  The patient bleeds from
everywhere, especially the areas where the mucous membranes and
the skin join (junctional areas).

There are important urinary symptoms associated with Senecio. There
is a constant burning pain along th e urethra and continuous urge to
pass urine.  Senecio is also famous for the treatment of arthritis.  For
the kidney pain of Senecio, Pareira a nd Berberis work as adjuvants.
However, if other symptoms of Senecio are present, this alone may be
curative.

The headache is not very severe bu t stuns the patient.  Sometimes the
patient feels sharp pain in the left eye, radiating to the left temple area.
There is a lot of sneezing and a burn ing sensation in the throat.  The
teeth become very sensitive.  There is pain on the left side of the face.
The inside of the mouth, palate and throat become dry, causing
difficulty in swallowing.

The griping pain in the abdomen  disappears after passing stools.
Thin watery stools may also contai n some hard faecal matter.  The
urine is very scanty  and of dark colour.  It may be mixed with blood
or pus.  The children may also suffe r from irritation of the bladder,
causing frequent burning urination.   The patient may also develop
headache and pain in the abdomen.

Young girls may experience irritation of the throat, chest and bladder
before the onset of periods .  These symptoms become relieved after
the periods finish.  In case the pe riods stop and the patient starts
bleeding from the nose, then Senecio may be found useful.
