Sanju – 12 years – came to the dispensary for the treatment of his itch. Due to inattention he struck his foot against the leg of a stool in the dispensary when he was advised caution, his elder sister volunteered the information that he was inattentive anywhere and everywhere. He was inattentive at school, at the play ground and on the road and had met with several accidents, but he had never learned any lessons from his past experience. Now he had itching trouble. As he scratched one part, the itch started at another part. A combination of Chestnut Bud for his inattention and Scleranthus for the ever-changing nature of the itch (changing place on scratching) was given T.D.S for 1 month. There was complete relief of itch after 1 month. Chestnut Bud being his constitutional medicine it was continued alone for an other 2 months, so that all remnant symptoms of negative Chestnut Bud were got rid of.
