Pains
Pain occurs as a defence mechanism of our body so we can stop using that part and give it some rest. It also indicates some internal malady and sets the alarm for us to get a health check-up as early as possible.
There are different types of pain, depending upon its cause. Pain can be due to some injury, bee sting, chronic and acute illness, etc. Different pains can be described by various sensations such as:
- Pulsating pain
- Aching pain
- Stinging pain
- Burning pain
- Stitching pain
- Drawing pain, etc.
Sometimes it is difficult to express the exact sensation of pain. It happens because everyone feels the pain differently. Though generally, the character of the pain depends upon the affected organ or part of the body. For example, pain in a hollow organ such as intestine will give a sensation of colicky pain, lesion of nerves will give a neuralgic pain, etc.
Homoeopathic Management of Pain
Including some acute pains such as incarcerated flatus, homoeopathy has immense scope in the management of various types of pains. Apart from the consideration of disease diagnosis and pathology, homoeopathy considers the nature of pain, location, modality and its concomitant symptoms for the prescription of medicines. There are many homoeopathic medicines for the management of various types of pains of different origin. Dr Willmar Schwabe has speciality products for the management of headache due to different causes. These are described below:
