Authoritative Homeopathic Materia Medica profile detailing clinical symptom indications, modalities, and constitutional therapeutic actions.

Key Clinical Indication: Dulcamara primarily acts on the mucous membranes, with symptoms arising acutely from sudden changes in weather (from hot to cold or cold to hot, moist to dry and vice versa). It is especially indicated for patients who frequently catch colds, develop catarrh, or experience other affections when exposed to such weather shifts or from suppressed sweating.

  • Weather Sensitivity: Main function is on the inner linings (mucous membranes). The most salient point is that any kind of sudden change of weather, from hot to cold or from cold to hot, from moist to dry and vice versa, affects the mucous membranes of the body, especially when the change is very prompt and sudden.
  • Cold Susceptibility: Useful to treat a patient who catches a cold with every change of weather.
  • Exposure Catarrh: Develops nasal catarrh after vigorous game, changing clothes while body is still hot. Similarly, sudden exposure to hot weather from a cold situation also causes a cold.
  • Suppressed Sweating: Useful in treating symptoms which result from suppression of sweating on entry into a cold place.
  • Cold Progression: The cold starts at the nose and settles in the eyes. If not treated adequately, the cold becomes chronic.
  • Gastrointestinal & Urinary Catarrh: Catarrhal changes can affect the kidneys, the intestines as well as the stomach, leading to frequent urination and the onset of diarrhoea, due to irritation of the mucous linings of these organs.

  • Nasal Discharge & Blockage: The cold is usually of dry nature, associated with blockage of the nose. The thick yellow secretion sticks in the nose.
  • Nasal Bleeding: The nose also bleeds.
  • Recurrent Catarrh: The nasal catarrh returns on exposure to even the slightest cold.

  • Headache: Gets worse in cold and wet weather. The patient feels light-headed. The head is heavy, and there is pain on the temple areas.
  • Eyes: The eyes become heavy and discharge yellowish liquid. The secretion is thin like water. The eyelids get swollen as well.
  • Ears: The ears ache and buzz, affecting the capability to hear. The glands around the ears become inflamed.
  • Face: The cheeks hurt badly and the pain spreads towards the ears, eyes and jaws. The neuralgic pain on the face gets worse on exposure to cold.
  • Mouth & Tongue: The tongue becomes dry and rough. Paralysis of the tongue is also prominent.

  • Appetite & Thirst: The patient hates food. There is a non-ending urge to drink water.
  • Stomach: There is burning in the stomach, along with the tendency for nausea and vomiting.
  • Vomiting: The vomiting contains white sticky secretions. During the act of vomiting, the patient feels very cold.
  • Diarrhoea/Dysentery: Some people develop dysentery instead of diarrhoea on exposure to cold; this type of dysentery is amenable to Dulcamara.
  • Urinary: On exposure to cold, the bladder becomes inflamed and irritable, leading to frequent urination. There is a constant desire to pass urine which comes in drops.

    • General Modalities & Concomitants

  • Aggravation: Worse at night and on resting; in moist climate and wet weather; during the change of weather or on getting wet in humid weather or taking cold beverages, etc. Aggravated on lying on the back or bending forwards; symptoms increase in the evening and at night.
  • Amelioration: Relieved by lying on the side. Movement ameliorates the symptoms.
  • Climatic Influence: If during summer a person contracts cold while visiting hill stations or coming back from hill stations, Dulcamara is indicated.
