Reason for use

We find Lac caninum useful in rheumatic throat symptoms affecting the whole mucous surface of eyes and nose and throat ; in inflammatory types all through body, with the great tendency for pains to shift from side to side and from below upward, and finally affecting the heart.

In sciatica compare : Curare, Graphites, Gnaphalium, Kali bi., Iris, Lachesis, Phytolacca, Tellurium.
