Ratanhia [Rat]

      This drug Ratanhia or Krameria- is probably the best drug known and it isn’t any too well known for all abnormal conditions of the anus; for itching, burning, fissured, oozing, or haemorrhoidal states. It can be given in 1 to 5 drops of the tincture, or, perhaps, better in the 3rd homoeopathic potency. Also use tincture or Ratanhia suppositories at same time, or Ratanhia ointment. This is the statement of Dr. A.M. Cushing.

Urtica urens [Urt-u]

      Hering advises a drop dose of the tincture 0 of nettles in the morning itching of the anus, especially in children. It seems likely that a solution of same applied externally might also aid.

Cleanliness We once knew an old captain who said that if one would wash the anus after every stool he would never have any trouble in that part of his make up.
