Berberis vulgaris: Frequency of urination, as the bladder feels partially emptied, associated with cutting and tearing pains in the kidney region. Worse on downward motion, stooping, lying or sitting down. Standing relieves the pain. The urine is scanty and reddish brown.
Cantharis vesicatoria: Remedy of choice in acute cystitis with burning pains,urgency and frequency of urination, sometimes with blood. If there is no violent, acute, burning pain, this remedy is not indicated.
Digitalis purpurea: An urgent desire to urinate, often associated with prostatic enlargement; a dragging-like sensation in the bladder is characteristic. Pulse slow.
Equisetum hyemale: Useful when there is less frequency, urgency and pain than Cantharis vesicatoria. The bladder feels constantly full and the urine is scanty and usually contains mucus. Nocturia is frequent
Nux vomica: Frequency with burning pains, but only few drops are passed. Straining is common and dribbling of urine is a feature.
Sabal serrulata: Useful where the frequency is associated with prostatic enlargement.
