Differentials for Sulphur, Arsenicum, Aconite, Agaricus, Apis, Cantharis, Capsicum and Antharaxinum. |
· Great burning is the most important feature of Sulphur. This burning is explained by a sort of local congestion produced by Sulphur.
· In Arsenicum the burning seems almost intolerable, but the strongest part of it is, that this burning is best relieved by heat. Arsenicum excels all the rest of them in intensity and is characterized by restlessness, sudden prostration and midnight and midday aggravation.
· Phosphorus has a burning sensation all over, sometimes in small isolated spots. The patient is anemic, over-sensitive and phthisical.
· The Aconite burning is met with in acute inflammatory affections in their first stage. High fever, restlessness, impatience, and thirst are characteristic of the remedy.
· In Apis, we have redness, swelling and edema accompanying the burning and stinging pain. Unlike Arsenicum it is aggravated by heat and relieved by cold.
· In Agaricus there is burning, itching and redness as if from frost bites and chilblain.
· Cantharis burns like fire; it has especial affinity for the urinary tract. There is a constant desire to urinate and every effort to urinate is accompanied by intolerable burning.
· Capsicum, cayenne pepper. It is burning - intolerable, intense burning - accompanied by smarting.
· In Anthraxinum, the burning is mostly connected with the ulcers, putrid sores, gangrenes, and malignant pustules.
