Intestinal colic drops

Ingredients:
Alumina D12, Bryonia D4, Colocynthis D4, Lachesis D30, Lycopodium D4, Mercur. subl. corr. D8, Nux vomica D6, Plumbum acetic. D12, Sulfur D12, Ethanol, Aqua pur.

Indications:
Flatulent colic, meteorism, porphyrinuria, intestinal colic, abdominal spasms of varying genesis which are characteristic in porphyrinuria and affected liver. Cirrhosis of the liver, bilious colic; dysmenorrhoea. Complementary remedy for renal colic. In case of chronic constipation, gradual regularizing effect.

Mode of action:
It is a fact that the liver governs almost the whole detoxicating system in the organism, especially in the intestines. It follows that the functional disorders of the liver will involve a repercussion in the intestines (stoppages). On the other hand, the liver sends toxic elements outward through the intestines.
Flatulence, meteorism, flatulent colic, intestinal cramps—often considered as the after-effects of appendicitis or even of tumours—can also be induced by nicotine. Chronic constipation is a frequent concomitant and R37 becomes even more imperative.
