A tall, stoop-shouldered 36 year old lady came for homeopathic treatment for constipation which she suffered from on and off since childhood. She would pass stools daily, but not at a fixed time and not very satisfactorily. There was always an ineffectual urge to pass stool although it would get difficult for her.

She also suffered from lower backache since 2-3 years and would get worse during passing stools. Her other complaints were hairfall which would fall in bunches every time she combed her hair. In the past history, she suffered from cold and coryza very frequently.

She had a normal appetite but loved junk food especially sandwiches. She also craved for icy cold drinks and fruit juices.

She was very cheerful and vivacious as a person. She loved to talk and her talks used to be very intellectual as well as witty. She loved to be the centre of attraction whenever there would be a gathering or a social function and she would enjoy every bit of it.

After analysing her whole case she was prescribed Phosphorus after which there was an astounding improvement in her long standing constipation. Her back pain had also reduced and hair fall reduced remarkably.
