It is made from the pulp of the fruit, which contains colocynthin, a substance which acts on the bowels, causing great pain and painful straining when stools are passed; the stools themselves become very watery.
Constitutional indications
Colocynth is best suited to people who are fair-haired and fair-skinned.
