Croton tiglium

Skin.--In any skin disease which itches very much, but the patient can't bear to scratch very hard as it hurts; a very slight scratch, a mere rub suffices to allay the itching. Erysipelas that itches exceedingly.

Stool.--In diarrhœa, when the bowels are moved with a spasmodic jerk or burst, and it is all out: coming out like a shot.

Sensations.--Otorrhœa when there is great itching. Drawing pain through the left pectoral region into the back: asthma with cough, which produces this pain; this pain is often felt (on either side) by nursing women, and every suck the child gives, causes this terrible pain, running through from nipple to back, Inflamed breasts, or breasts that threaten to gather, accompanied with this pain. (On giving Croton, the pain may at first shift from one side to the other, but do not change the remedy.) Sensation as if hide-bound.

Generalities.--Feeling as though one cannot think outside of himself, "feels all pent up" inside, and no chance for the thoughts to flow out.

Remedy following:--Rhus tox.
