Urinary Troubles & Its Remedies
When anyone passes too much urine, too often, or it is abnormal, it should always be attended to, as it is very debilitating and often the beginning of a serious disease.
If the discharge of urine becomes for some time more and scantier, it is an indication of a disease which may suddenly become dangerous; take every day a warm foot-bath, drink plenty of water, and now and then buttermilk; but beware of diuretics, such as gin, juniper berries, etc. For constant desire to urinate, pain, burning, etc., use application of warm water, a warm bath and mucilaginous drinks, particularly oatmeal gruel, and partake of nothing acid; salty or sour.
Aconite for the most common cases when there is painful urging; for children if they put their hands to the parts and scream, when no urine or very little passes, sometimes only single drops with great pain, the discharge is very red, dark and turbid, particularly for women and children. Should Aconite not relieve these symptoms, give Cantharis.
Pulsatilla, if there are pressing, cutting pains or redness and heat in the region of the bladder, especially for women, when the courses are suppressed, too tardy or scanty; also for less pain but much urging.
Arnica, if caused by a blow or fall on the bladder or back, or by a violent concussion of the whole body.
Nux vomica for parsons of a full habit who are fond of liquor; after suppressed piles, with burning, pressing and tension in the back, and the region between the ribs and hip-bones.
Belladonna, if the pains are more piercing, extending from the back to the bladder, in spells, with great anxiety, restlessness and colic. If Belladonna gives only temporary relief, take Hepar.
Mercurius for very violent, constant desire to urinate, the stream being very small, with perspiration at the same time; urine dark red, soon becoming turbid and offensive.
The Passing of Bloody Urine is often combined with other complaints; give the above remedies. If from external injuries, Arnica; from spirituous liquor, Nux vomica; after excesses, Cinchona; if it returns often, Hepar. If accompanied by burning pains at the end of the urethra; if the testicles are drawn up; cramp-like pains in the knees, thighs and groins; if contracting and cutting pains in the small of the back extend to the navel, give Pulsatilla.
