COBALTUM


Cobaltum homeopathic remedy symptoms and cases from The Studies in the Philosophy of Healing by C M Boger….


Two years before asking for relief a blacksmith, aged 47, took a severe cold. the urine soon took on the color of strong beet, while cutting tearing pains in the bladder and aching in the prostate gland and tests appeared; at the same time a severe sore pain came on in the region of the left sacro-sciatic notch, the left side of the bladder and up over the left flank. The pain was aggravated from pressure, coition, sitting, and after drinking butter -milk; and ameliorated from walking or lying on the back, although it necessitated so frequent a change at night that it left him exhausted by morning. He was at times relieved by passing a pink-colored urine, which threw down a yellow sediment, or by passing a stool.

The heat of the sun quickly overheats him, and he is easily unnerved by noise, fright or excitement. The conditions as emphasized above led to the choice of the correct remedy, and he received a single dose of Cobaltum 6, with the result that in twenty days a severe head cold, with a discharge of bloody pus from the nose, came channel. Placebo was continued, and in five weeks from beginning the treatment he could sleep soundly all night, sit as much as he pleased, and lost practically all of his discomforts.
