Hydrangea arborescens [Hydrang].
Hydrangea arborescens. *N.O. Hydrangeacee (or Saxifragaceae).
Clinical:
Bladder, catarrh of, stone in. Diabetes. Gravel. Prostatic affections. Urine, incontinence of.
Characteristics:
Like some other members of the Saxifragaceae, *Hydrang. has a traditional reputation as a "stone-breaking" remedy having been used in calculous diseases for many years. Dr. Nottingham, of Lansing, says (*Amer. *Hom., November 15, 1899) that in physiological doses it produces "giddiness, oppression of the chest, and acts as a cathartic, diuretic, sialogogue, and narcotic." He used it with brilliant results in the following case: Mr. B., 7I, tall, slender, dark, was exceedingly irritable and frequently subject to violent paroxysms of anger. For many years he had been accustomed to make the most reckless use of drugs, and was always requesting his homoeopathic doctor to give him "something stronger." For eight years he had suffered from vesical sphincter-irritation, with dribbling of urine, severe spasms of prostate, renal catarrh, yellow sand in urine, and even small calculi. After persistent use of best indicated remedies with no effect, the fluid extract of *Hydrang. was given, as teaspoonful every three or four hours, and the symptoms disappeared in a remarkably short time. Cooper has also used this remedy (which, he says, is the thirstiest plant known) with good effect in diabetes, in cases presenting great thirst with abdominal symptoms and in enlarged prostate. It appears to act strongly on the neck of the bladder. Hansen adds that it is particularly useful for profuse deposits of white amorphous salts in the urine, and has arrested the tendency to formation of calculi, relieves distress from renal calculus, with soreness over region of kidneys and bloody urine.

Therapeutics:
Valuable in certain forms of "gravel," particularly useful for profuse deposits of white amorphous salts in the urine. Has arrested the tendency to formation of calculus in the bladder and relieved distress from renal calculus, with soreness over the region of the kidneys and bloody urine. (Compare with Berberis, Thlaspi bursa pastoris, and Ocimum canum).

SYNOPTIC MATERIA MEDICA BY FRANS VERMEULEN
Hydrangea arborescens. Wild Hydrangea. Seven Barks. N.O. Saxifragaceae.
The name Hydrangea comes from the Greek words hydor, water, and angeion, a vessel or vase, in reference to the shape of the seed capsule, or to the tremendous 'thirstiness' of the plant. According to Cooper, it is the thirstiest plant known. Arborescens means 'tree-like'.
The Hydrangeas are marsh or aquatic plants. They are invaluable for summer display, particularly in cool - not cold - climates, flowering throughout summer and early autumn with great showy heads of pink, blue or white flowers. All require plenty of moisture.
The bark of H. arborescens is rough, with a tendency to peel, each layer being of a different colour, from which it has probably derived its name 'Seven Barks.' When fresh, the root and stalks are very succulent, containing much water, and can easily be cut. When dry, they are tough and resistant.
The root has been found to contain two resins, gum, sugar, starch, albumen, soda, lime potassium, magnesia, sulphuric and phosphoric acids, a protosalt of iron, and a glucoside, Hydrangin.
"The nature of the soil affects the colour, for in alkaline soils the flowers will be pink or red, on acid soils blue or purple. Lime in the ground has the effect of locking up aluminium and other elements so that the plants cannot get them, but if aluminium sulphate is watered round the roots the crimson pigments turn blue. There is a widely accepted belief that iron is the element to bring about these changes [tons of rusty nails and tins must lie buried beneath Hydrangea bushes] but this is erroneous for aluminium is the important substance. However on very limy soil the foliage may suffer from shortage of iron and assume chlorotic effects, with green near the veins but the rest of the leaves yellow." [Perry]
Like some other members of the Saxifragaceae [from L. saxum, a rock or stone, and frango, to break], Hydrangea has a traditional reputation as a 'stone-breaking' remedy, having been used in calculus diseases for many years. [Clarke]

SPHERE OF ACTION
Urinary organs. Prostate gland.
PECULIARS
The few people whom I was able to help with Hydrangea were nervous and worried a lot about everything. Their main complaint was a calculus in the ureter with prostate enlargement. The calculus can be treated if they drink a lot. The prostate hypertrophy can only be cured if caught in
the initial stages." [Vrijlandt]
Violent attacks of anger. [Pulford]
Great thirst. & Abdominal symptoms and enlarged prostate.
Valuable in certain forms of "gravel," particularly useful for profuse deposits of white amorphous salts in the urine. [Hansen]

There is a widely accepted belief that iron is the element to bring about these changes [tons of rusty nails and tins must lie buried beneath Hydrangea bushes] but this is erroneous for aluminium is the important substance. However on very limy soil the foliage may suffer from shortage of iron and assume chlorotic effects, with green near the veins but the rest of the leaves yellow." [Perry]
Like some other members of the Saxifragaceae [from L. saxum, a rock or stone, and frango, to break], Hydrangea has a traditional reputation as a 'stone-breaking' remedy, having been used in calculus diseases for many years. [Clarke]

PECULIARS
The few people whom I was able to help with Hydrangea were nervous and worried a lot about everything. Their main complaint was a calculus in the ureter with prostate enlargement. The calculus can be treated if they drink a lot. The prostate hypertrophy can only be cured if caught in
the initial stages." [Vrijlandt]
Violent attacks of anger. [Pulford]
Great thirst. & Abdominal symptoms and enlarged prostate.
Valuable in certain forms of "gravel," particularly useful for profuse deposits of white amorphous salts in the urine. [Hansen]
