A Severe Crick in the Neck

One day I got a call from a friend of mine who is a construction worker. He told me he couldn't move his neck hardly at all and asked me if homeopathy could do anything for his problem, since he had no faith in chiropractors. I told him I'd come over and see what I could do.

When I got to his house, he was sitting at the kitchen table, drinking a cup of tea and looking miserable. His shoulders seemed to be pulled up too high and he showed me that he could only turn his head a couple of inches each way.

I asked him what he had done that day and he told me he hadn't done anything that could have caused his neck to lock up, as far as he knew. The condition had come on throughout the day, and by the end of the day, his neck was completely locked up. So I asked him how his day was, and he told me it had been a rough day at work. Everything had been going wrong all day, and he admitted that he became very angry as the day went on. I went over to feel his shoulders and neck, and noticed that the muscles on the left side were so tight that they were actually bulging on the side of his neck. He was in a lot of pain and couldn't relax at all. He told me that he occasionally gets these kinds of neck conditions, and that it usually takes him about 6 months to overcome each episode.

I then asked if he had any other symptoms in his body, and he told me he had a bit of a belly ache, too. After studying his case, I came up with Colocynth, which is a remedy made from bitter apple. It covers colic, muscle cramps, left sided neck problems and irritability, and the conditions are improved from coffee and heat. So, I made him a bottle of remedy, told him to drink a cup of hot coffee and go to bed with a heating pad.

The next day, when I called, he had already gotten out of bed and told me there was only a very slight twinge left in his neck. Because of his speedy and miraculous recovery, he instantly became a firm supporter of healing through homeopathy.
