Sulphur is the best preventative treatment during a cholera epidemic. Sulphur 200 every day for two days and then twice a week saves one from contracting cholera. As soon as the symptoms of cholera appear, Camphor in a low potency can cure cholera altogether. Once the symptoms have started, especially the silent type of cholera,associated with large exuberant watery stools, causing severe dehydration and weakness leading to coldness of the body, can best be treated with Camphor. The most prominent indication for Camphor is nausea and vomiting, more so than diarrhoea.
Cuprum is also an extremely effective treatment of cholera especially the kind associated with severe abdominal colic and severe cramps in the hands and the feet, starting in the fingers and toes and then spreads upwards. This type of cholera is best treated with Cuprum. In the diarrhoea of Cuprum, the stools are scanty, frequent and associated with severe griping. The cholera associated with exuberant amounts of stools and severe cramps in the calves will respond best to Veratrum Album.
