Colic refers to severe, spasmodic, and cramping pain in the abdomen, often caused by spasm or obstruction in the hollow viscera such as the intestines, ureters, gallbladder, or uterus. The pain is typically intermittent, coming in waves, and may be associated with nausea, distension, flatulence, or restlessness.
Depending on the origin, colic may be intestinal, biliary, renal, or uterine. In infants, colic often appears as abdominal discomfort with crying and drawing up of legs, usually due to gas, improper feeding, or immature digestion.
Common causes include indigestion, flatulence, constipation, infection, worms, gallstones, renal calculi, or emotional stress. The pain may shift location, and relief often comes after passing gas, stool, or urine.

In homoeopathy, colic is treated by identifying its underlying cause, location, and modalities of pain (aggravation and amelioration factors). The nature of the pain—cramping, twisting, cutting, or shooting—and the patient’s emotional and physical state guide the selection of the remedy.
Homoeopathic medicines act by relieving smooth muscle spasm, improving digestion, and regulating peristaltic activity. Remedies are chosen not merely for pain relief but to correct the functional imbalance responsible for recurring colic.
For infants, gentle and safe remedies provide quick comfort without suppressing the natural digestive function. Dietary moderation and regular bowel habits aid recovery and prevent recurrence.

Colic represents pain from muscular spasm or irritation of abdominal viscera, often functional rather than structural.
Homoeopathic medicines provide gentle yet rapid relief by relaxing smooth muscles, easing spasm, and correcting digestive disturbances without suppressing symptoms.
By tailoring remedies to the individual’s pain pattern, causation, and constitution, homoeopathy not only relieves acute pain but prevents recurrence through deeper regulation of gastrointestinal and nervous functions.
Proper dietary discipline, warmth, and rest complement the action of remedies, ensuring safe and holistic recovery from both acute and chronic colic.
