Causes & Symptoms for SBL Chloralum:

Chloralum has a profound influence on several key systems, particularly the brain, respiratory, urinary, and skin. It is known for its powerful hypnotic and cardiac depressant effects and is often used in conditions related to sleep disturbances, headaches, respiratory distress, and skin ailments.

• Emotional Disturbances: Chloralum is indicated for emotional excitability, hallucinations, and night terrors in children. It helps alleviate nervousness and anxiety, particularly in those who suffer from insomnia due to over-fatigue or mental exhaustion.
• Muscular Prostration: Weakness and muscular fatigue are prominent, often seen alongside the remedy’s effects on the nervous system.
• Skin Conditions: Chloralum has a marked effect on the skin, producing conditions such as erythema (redness of the skin), ecchymosis (bruising), urticaria, and red blotches aggravated by alcoholic drinks. It’s especially helpful for night-time urticarial rashes that disappear during the day.
• Headaches: Chloralum is particularly effective for severe headaches that have lasted for several days. The headaches are characterized by a dull, heavy ache in the forehead and temples, often accompanied by the sensation of a hot band being drawn across the temples.
• Respiratory Complaints: It is well-suited to patients with extreme dyspnoea (difficulty breathing) accompanied by a sensation of weight and constriction in the chest, making it helpful for asthmatic conditions where there is spasm of the glottis.
• Cardiac Depression: The remedy also acts as a cardiac depressant and can help alleviate palpitations, particularly those triggered by skin eruptions or alcohol consumption.

Mind and Head:

• The patient often experiences auditory hallucinations, constantly hearing voices. There is marked emotional excitement and agitation, which can manifest as fear of going insane.

• Visual Disturbances: Patients may see circles of light or black spots, and everything may appear white. The eyelids often feel too large or swollen.

Urinary Complaints:

• Enuresis: This remedy is particularly effective for involuntary urination at night, where the patient passes large amounts of water without awareness.

Skin:

• Chloralum is particularly useful for patients suffering from hives or urticaria that arise from exposure to cold and improve with warmth. The rashes typically appear at night and disappear by day.
• The remedy also aids in cases of red blotches and skin eruptions exacerbated by alcohol consumption.
