– BERNARD H,
M. Teste gives us the following under this drug : Stools frequent enough, but dry and insufficient; frequent desire for stool, with constipation as from inertia of the rectum; slight diarrhoea alternating with constipation; excoriating pain in the anus.
Boenninghausen and Jahr place this drug among the chief remedies for constipation.
Hering recommends it when Mercurius has been insufficient for constipation accompanied with bad taste in the mouth, pain in the gums, irregular appetite.
