🩺 Systems & Indications
⚙️Generals
I experienced a sensation of fulness in the frontal part of the head, and also through the lateral portions, with headache similar to that produced by Cimicifuga, but not so severe
  • the pain seemed to centre at the crown of the head, but there was a feeling of heat above the eyes that was very characteristic ;
  • there was no ringing in the ears or vertigo, but the head symptoms were of that degree of positiveness, that it was with difficulty I could fix my mind on anything else but the headache ;
  • the maximum of the feeling was about two hours after taking the medicine, and it subsided in about three and a half hours, and was succeeded by a feeling of languor and drowsiness which lasted several hours, but no sleep was produced by it..
While the head symptoms existed there was a feeling of unpleasant fulness and oppression at the epigastrium, and I was compelled to take physic the second day for the constipation it had caused. (He also got the same symptom of epigastric oppression from two drachms of the tincture.)
