Gall bladder

Biliousness in general:
Symptoms
Sick headache, vomiting and purging of bile; or nausea; loaded tongue, bitter taste, no appetite, cross humour, etc.
Medicinal treatment
Bryonia alba
For bilious feelings in hot weather, or when bilious vomiting comes on after drinking.
Dose. -Two drops in a tablespoonful of water every four hours.
Ipecacuanha
When there is free and copious vomiting, with a headache as if the head were braised.
Dose. -As Bryonia.

Mercurius solubilis
When there is great drowsiness, yellow complexion, and pains about the liver, or feeling of compression in the head, or with lumpy, hard stools.
Dose. -Two grains, as Bryonia.

Pulsatilla pratensis
When the bowels are relaxed and there is chilliness, and the attack has been caused by rich or fat food, pork, etc.
Dose. -As Bryonia.

Accessory treatment
It is best in most instances to promote vomiting by drinking freely of warm water, or by tickling the back part of the throat with the finger or a feather. While feeling bilious, take but little food, and let it be light and simple; a small quantity of beef tea and dry toast, etc. If of a bilious temperament, drink repeated glasses of cold water, take a cold bath daily, use friction over the stomach and bowels with the flesh brush or coarse towel, eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruit, and but little pastry or made dishes, and take active exercise in the open air. -See Indigestion and Vomiting.

Bilious colic
Symptoms. -Generally those of a disordered stomach: bitter taste, furred tongue, nausea and vomiting, thirst, severe cutting and twisting pain in the bowels, frequently followed by bilious vomiting and diarrhoea, the evacuations being mixed with bile, after which the symptoms gradually abate.
Medicinal treatment
Chamomilla
If the colic is very painful, with spasmodic, crampy feelings in the bowels, or if they are distended and feel very tender.
Dose. -Three drops in a little water every quarter of an hour to two hours.
Mercurius solubilis
If there are shooting or violent pinching pains, especially in the centre of the abdomen, with nausea.

Pulsatilla pratensis
Especially if there are spasmodic or cutting pains, or looseness of the bowels, or shivering.

Accessory treatment
Plenty of warm diluting drinks, friction and hot water applied to the abdomen with flannels. Five drops of the strong tincture of Camphor on a lump of sugar every ten minutes or quarter of an hour, will sometimes afford relief when the pain is very severe.
