Benefits and uses of Veratrum Album are

• Diarrhea: This severe type of diarrhea is generally attributed to some more serious condition such as cholera, gastroenteritis, or even dysentery. Stools are often watery and may even be colored. There are most likely other symptoms that come along with the diarrhea independently or as a result of it, which may include cramps, dehydration and even exhaustion. All of these symptoms can be helped by turning to veratrum alb as a homeopathic remedy.
• Emotional Problems: Behavioral and emotional problems come in all different types, and in this instance using veratrum alb may be most helpful to children and for women who just gave birth. There is an almost indifferent feeling for the person suffering through emotional problems, and may have suffered some sort of loss which may result in insecurity.
• Collapse: For those that frequently collapse or who have a tendency towards these related types of symptoms, veratrum alb may work quite well. This is the type of situation where there is weakness and then a clammy sweaty feeling across the forehead and the hands. There may be other symptoms associated such as cramps or gastrointestinal upset, or even heatstroke or menstrual pains which the collapse may be attributed to.
• Vomiting and Nausea: The type of vomiting and nausea that are best helped by using this homeopathic remedy tends to be rather violent in nature. This may include a cold feeling in the abdomen, clammy sweaty feeling, and may be related to other listed symptoms such as gastrointestinal upset or even collapse.

Profile Type

These individuals may enjoy solitude and prefer to be alone most of the time. They seem to have a sensitivity to manic or hyperactivity and this can result in rather dramatic mood swings. Many of their symptoms may be a result of their behavior and the manner in which they deal with things.
