GAMBOGIA


Therapeutic symptoms of homeopathic remedy Gambogia, described by E.B. Nash in his book, Leaders in Homeopathic Therapeutics, published in 1898….


Is a very valuable remedy for diarrhoea, though not so often used, I think as it should be. It resembles CROT-T., in the suddenness of the desire for stool, and in the all coming out at one gush. Again, it resembles it, in that it is sometimes watery and yellow, but CROT-T., is worse by the least food or drink, which is not the case with GAMB., Again, GAMB., has all the way from yellow, watery, to almost formed stools, and in each case, the stool comes all at once in one prolonged effort, and there is a feeling of great relief after stool, as if an irritating substance were removed. Sometimes there is burning of the anus after the stool, similar to ARS., IRIS-V., and CAPS., It is curative in both acute and chronic forms of diarrhoea. There is often much rumbling in the bowels.
