 ”The complaints of Bell. Come on suddenly, run a regular course and subside suddenly.
 ”It has inflammations of all the organs, especially the brain lungs and liver…..These inflammations are always attended by violent heat…..When you put your hand upon a Bell. Subject you will suddenly withdraw it, the heat is so intense.
 ”Bell has no continued of Bell. That runs through these inflammatory complaints and its fevers. The inflamed parts, and very commonly the skin, are very red, and as the inflammation advances, grow dusky; as the fever advances the face becomes mottled; but the first representation of Bell. Is very red, and the skin is shiny.”
 ”Whenever Bell. Brings out anything like a decided action, it has burning; intense burning.”
 ”When children are sick in bed with congestion of the brain they have an intensely hot head. If old enough to talk about it, they will say it burns. But then we notice the throbbing. The temporal arteries and the carotids pulsate, with great violence.”
 ”And remember, the pains come suddenly, they remain longer or shorter, and they go suddenly……Al of his pains are worse from motion, worse from light, worse from a jar, worse from cold. He wants to be wrapped up warmly, and is worse from any exposure or a draft.”
 ”Convulsions in infants”. They are violent and are usually associated with cerebral congestion.”
 ”In Bell., the infant also commonly remains in a profound stupor; the profound stupor that goes with congestion of the brain; pupils dilated; skin hot and dry; face red, throbbing carotids. Finally the child becomes pale as the stupor increases and the  neck is drawn back, because as it progresses the base of the brain and the spine become involved, and the muscles of the neck contract, drawing the head backwards, and he rolls the head; eyes staring, pupils dilated. This mental state is associated with scarlet fever and with cerebro-spinal meningitis.”
 ”A strange feature running through the Bell. Fevers of all sorts is an unconquerable craving for lemons and lemon-juice.”

-SANKARAN R.,
Belladonna is a plant remedy of the acute miasm. The main feeling of a Belladonna person is of a sudden threat from outside from which he has to escape in order to survive.
The suddenness is one of the main characteristics of Belladonna. Everything comes in paroxysms with suddenness, and goes with equal suddenness. But while it lasts, there seems to be a very intense and life threatening situation; the person is beside himself and wants to escape. Also, there is a certain degree of violence in his sensations and actions.
Belladonna can be quite cheerful. In fact, he can be dancing, laughing, singing and can have a generally light-hearted feeling and exuberance. But when the attack comes, he becomes crazy with fear and anxiety, with excitement, with throbbing of the carotids, palpitation of the heart and a feeling of imminent threat or danger.
One of the Belladonna patients that I had disappeared from treatment suddenly and after months suddenly called me up from some part of the world and then disappeared for months again. For Belladonna Dr. M.L. Sehgal points to the rubric: “Unconsciousness interrupted by screaming”. His interpretation is that the Belladonna patient remains unconscious of his problems and they come up suddenly to his consciousness and make him very excited.
The delusions, dreams and fears of Belladonna have to do with sudden threat, for example:
– Delusion, bulls, of.
– Fear, imaginary things, of.
– Fear, animals, of.
– Fear, impending death, of.
– Delusion, gallows with fear of, vision of.
And he reacts with violence, impulse to set things on fire, attempts to escape and run away.
There is a need to escape, to run away. There is a feeling that he will be pursued, killed. Therefore he runs, escapes, rages.
The difference between Belladonna and Stramonium is that in Belladonna, the specific situation is like that of one who is about to be taken to the gallows, while in Stramonium it is like that of a person lost in a jungle. Stramonium looks for somebody to cling on to, seeking light and company, whereas the main action in Belladonna is reacting violently to save himself, e.g. desire to escape; rage.
Physical symptoms
Among the main physical symptoms of Belladonna are:
– Sudden paroxysmal pains that come suddenly and go suddenly.
– Extremely sensitive to light, noise and jarring.
– Desire for lemonade, lemon juice.
– Pains are throbbing.
Rubrics
– Ailments from fright.
– Beside oneself, being.
– Delusion, animals of, frightful.
– Delusion, bulls, of.
– Delusion, dogs sees.
– Delusion, murdered, he will be.
– Delusion, pursued by enemies.
– Escape, attempts to.
– Exuberance.
– Fear, gallows, of the.
– Fire, wants to set things on.
– Unconsciousness interrupted by shrieking.
– Deeds of violence, rage leading to.
– Fear alternating with rage.
Kent
– Involuntary urination during sleep; difficult to awaken from.
Phatak
– Admonition aggravates.
– Direction of symptoms: increase and decrease suddenly.

Syn.-Atropa belladonna; deadly nightshade.
P. E.-Roots and leaves.
N. O.-Solanaceæ.
N. H.-Europe.
Properties: Anodyne, antispasmodic, suppresses secretion.
Physiological action: In full physiological doses it is a cerebral excitant, producing active hyperæmia, and a full but active cerebral capillary circulation which manifests itself first by dry throat followed by excitement, exhilaration, dilated pupils, burning of throat, face flushed, intolerance of light, impairment of vision, nausea and insomnia. In large toxic doses above symptoms are aggravated, followed by inco-ordination of muscles, motor-paralysis, difficult, deglutition, wild and furious delirium, muscular twitching, a scarlet rash appears on the body, pulse becomes feeble, general prostration, deep coma, convulsions and death from paralysis of the inhibitory nerves of the heart, and later the heart muscles. At first contracts the blood vessels in the cord, increasing arterial tension, then, as its paralyzing effect is manifested, it dilates the blood vessels and reduces pressure. On account of overstimulation of the capillaries exudation takes place, resulting in the characteristic scarlet rash. The powerful determination of blood to the face and head causes flushed face. Dilitation of the pupil causes the intolerance of light as well as impairment of vision. Belladonna is a powerful vaso-motor stimulant, paralysis from overstimulation results when given in large doses.

Indication: Dullness, drowsiness, eyes dull, dilated pupils, dullness of mind and tendency to sleep, impaired capillary circulation of skin. Blueness of face and extremities, coldness of hands and feet, cerebral congestion. Pain in head, heavy, tense and sleepy, showing that it is the remedy in passive congestion, especially of the cerebro-spinal centers.
Use: It is a direct sedative in fevers, but combats fever processes. Induces powerful capillary circulation. The influence is extended from the nerve center to the periphery, and, if given in overdoses, stimulates the capillaries so abnormally as to produce a red rash. It antagonizes congestion. Its influence in restraining secretion does not prevent its use in capillary stasis. If used in small doses its influence on the circulation precedes that of secretion, as its first influence is on circulation, then on secretion. Combined with aconite the action of restraining secretion is not nearly so marked in inflammatory conditions. If given early with aconite when there is fever only the hyperæmia and consequent inflammation is abated. It is our most important remedy in equalizing the circulation and preventing local hyperæmia, which is essential to all local inflammatory action. It is a powerful vaso-motor stimulant; stimulating capillary circulation. It has a direct action on the heart, increasing its action, slowing and strengthening the pulse. In urinary affections the result of capillary congestion, with perhaps throbbing pain in the back in the region of the kidneys, it is a good remedy. In sore throat, where the mucous membrane is dry and swollen we think of belladonna. Spasms of the orifices of the body of a passive nature are relieved by it. In incontinence of urine, especially in children, it is an effective remedy if indicated, but we generally succeed in overcoming this condition with other less powerful remedies.

One of the delirium and head remedies. Head hot, extremities cold, face red and often purple, throbbing carotids, eyes bloodshot, wild delirium, showing engorgement of the brain. Delirium, fears imaginary things, and is violent and hard to control. Upper lip may be swollen. Localized inflammation or boils in first stage, coming on suddenly, painful, throbbing and of deep red color. Inflammation and fever coming on suddenly without warning. Pain appears suddenly and disappears suddenly. Headache worse on stooping down or lying down, relieved by bending head back. Burning dryness of throat, constant desire to swallow to relieve the dry sensation. Marked tenderness in abdomen which is aggravated by least jar or motion. When head is uncovered or not bundled up in cold weather, will easily take cold. Patient takes cold easily from hair cutting. Shining, smooth, uniform, red surface, so hot as to cause a burning sensation to hand. Convulsions with belladonna symptoms. In females, pressing downwards as if vulva would come out; aggravated in morning. Pain in back as if it would break.
