Abies nigra
Henry N. Guernsey著 — Key-Notes to the Materia Medica
The genius of this remedy appears prominently in the stomach.
Mental.--Low-spirited; melancholy.
Gastric.--Total loss of appetite in the morning, but great craving for food at noon and night. Sensation of an undigested hard-boiled egg, or some such uncomfortable substance, in the stomach. Continual distressing constriction just above the pit of the stomach, as if everything were knotted up, or as if a hard lump of undigested food remained there. A painful sensation as if something were lodged in the chest, mostly on the right side of the sternum, which had to be coughed up, though nothing comes, after taking food that disagreed. Pain in the stomach always comes after eating.
