A nursing mother consulted for treatment of cracked and sore nipples. Her breasts were swollen and tender. She had stitching pains.

She was so sensitive to touch that she said she could barely tolerate the touch of her clothes. She also had a lot of itching.

On the basis of symptoms, the homeopathic remedy Castor equi was given. After 8 days, the cracks had healed completely and there was no itching at all.

In this way, the right homeopathic medicine helped to resolve a young mother's predicament and began enjoying her motherhood.
