Denotations & Old terminologies used in Homopathy - Similima

Crural neuralgia The sciatic pain as well as the crural pain can be originated by very diverse
affections. The most frequent diagnosis is the one of hernia of disc, but they can
be due to compression by a contracturado muscle of the lumbar region, the
glúteo, or ingle through where they pass these nerves. Nevertheless,
commonest it is than the pain represents the final result of a process. This
process could before have initiate months or years, after an irritation of the
nervous system in any place of the body. The position, an effort, an emotional
situation or stress generally represent the drop that rebalsa the glass in a
system overloaded by other irritations. The treatment would have to be directed
to the cause and not to the consequence; as much the tranquilizers as the
muscular relaxants treat the consequence; the medicines cover the problem, do
not solve it.
