PULSATILLA 30 IN MENSTRUAL PAIN


PULSATILLA 30 IN MENSTRUAL PAIN. A YOUNG lady of 21, slender, dark, muscular, deep voiced, energetic, but exceedingly found of fresh air, told me over the telephone that she was attacked by a terrible colicky pain which she had at every menstrual period, and which usually lasts at least twenty-four hours.


A YOUNG lady of 21, slender, dark, muscular, deep voiced, energetic, but exceedingly found of fresh air, told me over the telephone that she was attacked by a terrible colicky pain which she had at every menstrual period, and which usually lasts at least twenty-four hours.

Normally I would have recommended her Colocynthis low. As her mother happened to have in the house some Pulsatilla 30 pilules, I suggested her trying them. After the first dose the pain disappeared completely and almost instantaneously. Soon after her sister had a similar attack. A single dose of pulsatilla 30 settled her trouble likewise instantaneously. Facts such as these give a sceptic layman unlimited faith in high potencies. The cure in these two cases is all the more remarkable as neither girl was of the classical Pulsatilla type.
