Based on the individual homoeopathic constituents of Nux vomica-Homaccord, therapeutical possibilities result for the treatment of spasmodic constipation, enterospasms, disturbances of the hepatic function, meteorism, disorders arising from the misuse of nicotine, alcohol and coffee; for colitis mucosa and diverticulitis of the colon with Veratrum-Homaccord in alternation (also parenterally); for haemorrhoids in alternation with Paeonia-Heel, as well as for eczema and fissura ani (Cruroheel S).
Nux vomica-Homaccord is a preparation which influences both disorders of the hepatic function and liver damage favourably, regulating disturbances of the intestinal function, which are encountered today in general, due to the possibilities for damage arising from civilization and therapy.
Nux vomica-Homaccord and China-Homaccord S are always to be administered in these cases, in order, when starting antihomotoxic treatment, the toxin level can first be lowered by improving the hepatic and intestinal function, as well as regulatlng excessive constitutional toxin loads (resulting from enzyme disturbances, possibly also in combination with Galium-Heel, Lymphomyosot, Psorinoheel).
In pancreatitis, in addition to Ceanothus-Homaccord and possibly Diarrheel S, a combination prescription of Duodenoheel, Bryaconeel, Spascupreel and possibly Cardiacum-Heel is administered; for biliary diseases, Chelidonium-Homaccord, Hepeel, Injeel-Chol in addition to Nux vomica-Homaccord; for obstinate constipation.
Nux vomica-Homaccord is one of the most frequently needed preparations, which can also be taken prophylactically after consumption of alcohol in the evening, excessive smoking, etc.
Nux vomica-Homaccord is especially suitable for patients suffering from the widest variety of gastro-intestinal symptoms. A combination with China-Homaccord S has especially far-reaching action (in addition, Hepeel, Nervoheel; for headaches Gelsemium-Homaccord and Spigelon). The dosage is adjusted according to the disease, the clinical picture and the stage of the illness: 10 drops 3-4 times daily; for acute disorders, massive initial-dose therapy, 10 drops every 15 minutes. 1 ampoule once to 3 times weekly i.m., s.c., inta-cutaneous, i.v., mixed or alternating with Tonico-Injeel, China-Homaccord S, Injeel-Chol, Hepeel, Traumeel S, etc. For acute disorders, 1 ampoule daily.
