People of the type of Nux Vomica are the people of business, overloaded with cares and work – inhabitants of big cities, forgetting the time of day and night, spending their lives at the office desk. Ever preoccupied and busy, they eat too much and too fast, drinking large amounts of alcohol and smoking in a chain. As a result, they feel sick and heavy after every meal, and suffer from abdominal swelling, heartburn and constipation.

In daily life these people tend to be tense, irritable and easily angered, either zealous, passionate and caring or treacherous, cruel and cross, inclined to mockery and cunning. They have lean bodies and greasy, yellowish face; hypochondria and insomnia are their main complaints. Often, they wake up around 3-4 o’clock at night, stay awake for a few hours and then fall asleep again, in the morning feeling broken and tired, with a bad taste in the mouth.

Nux Vomica is highly effective in the treatment of peptic ulcers, constipation, neuralgia and myalgias with morning exacerbation, and in treating young men suffering from Angina Pectoris and hypertension.
