One of most important thing that we should search  before application of this medicine, is change of weather & cold damp weather. This is the only cause that makes arise each & every complaints of Dulcamara and we find the same symptoms in the patients, we can make that patient cure from his/her sufferings.

In Homoeopathy we prescribe each & every remedy on the basis of totality of symptoms from physical to mental level.So, lets have a look on mental plane of Dulcamara. Mentally Dulcamara patients are very dominant in nature. They always want the work to be done as per their instructions and order. They want the work should be done as per their choice because they think their choice of work is the best one in compare to others. patients got disappointed at very tiny things & he never discloses all the things in front of anyone until he believes that person is really understanding  him or  her.Mental symptoms of any remedy are very important for it selection if its a acute or chronic case. That is why our Master Hahnemann always emphasized us for the mental symptoms.

I remember a case of a woman long back ago. She came to me for her skin problem on face & palm of  both hands. When she came to me, she only gave very few symptoms regarding her complaints. Actually she was suffering from the wart on her face & palm of both hands.So, its was very easily diagnosed. There is no any itching or burning in it.So, I got very few symptoms regarding the complaints from the patient during the first discussion without interrupting her.

On the inquiry I found more symptoms from her & those were really very important symptoms. As a Homoeopath we always search for more & more symptoms because these are the weapons through which we can win the war. So, I found those revevant symptoms on the physical lever like she always got this kind of complaints in the rainy & cold damp weather in every year without any miss. Those warty eruption got aggravated during her menstrual flow. Basically I had been given almost all the symptoms to think about the Dulcamara but I was not sure about the mental plane & was in dilemma before the final prescription of Dulcamara. So, I decided to find out the mental symptoms but she did not give anything clearly like she always said, yes doctor everything is good enough. 

One thing I would like to mention here that a patient d'not give the any mental symptoms until & unless she or he trusts  her or his physician so its very important  for the physicians to make a trust to their patients. Coming to the case, then I started inquiring about her husband like how he is with her and all. The moment I asked this question, it was striking stone to the Swarm of Bees & gave me the clue for selecting the mental symptoms.

She told, doctor do you know? I do each & every work of my husband but he does not even care about me and even does not say a good bye when he was about to go office in the morning. No even that my children are not listening to me and they had got married where I did not like actually. I have given my whole life to my family but they never ever think about me. And by telling these sentences she got tears in her eyes. From all those inner symptoms from her I concluded one thing only, that she wants to dominate  her family through her decisions but she could not.And this is the nature of Dulcamara. So, finally Dulcamara 200 two(2) doses given to that lady. And after 3 months course of medication she was free from all her complaints like never before.

So, this is all about this wonderful remedy.And if you have any kind of such problems do not take medicines by yourself. You should consult your nearby Homoeopath for better understanding & correct prescription.
