Rhododendron chrysanthum

We think of this remedy chiefly for sufferings that are made worse in windy weather, even if the patient be not exposed to it; he may be in bed or in a warm comfortable room, but the blowing of the wind aggravates the symptoms.

Serous cysts in the vagina. Induration or swelling of the testicles particularly of the right one. Diarrhœa after eating fruit, or from wet cold weather; flatulent colic, especially if it comes on in windy, stormy weather. Arthritic nodes.

Sensations.--Dragging up or rooting sensation; crawling of the skin or over the skin like ants; toothache which ceases suddenly, beginning again in two or three hours; feeling of heaviness in the stomach after drinking cold water.

Better.--On beginning to move.
