Cantharis
The
Spanish fly is a urinary tract irritant, well known to the Marquis de Sade
and his followers. It produces the most agonising pain before, during and
after urination. Each drop of urine feels like scalding acid and it may be
easier to pass urine in a hot bath. The surrounding skin may become
excoriated, and there may be blood in the urine. The patient is beside
herself with pain and avoids drinking so that she won’t have to pass urine.
The
following homeopathic remedies have been utilized by naturopathic
physicians in treating a kidney stone: Berberis vulgaris–Indicated for
sharp, stitching pains that radiate to the groin area and right-sided
kidney stones. Cantharis–Indicated for urine that burns and is passed drop
by drop.
