Apocynum androsaemifolium
-GEORGE VITHOULKAS
Spreading Dogbane.
N.O. Apocynacea
Tincture is prepared from the roots.
The essential features
Apocynum androsaemifolium is a remedy that has not been proven properly and needs to be researched much more extensively. It would seem to be useful in cases of gouty arthritis when the case looks like Sulphur, but Sulphur does not act. There is burning pain, mostly of the left big toe with burning soles, and the burning may be accompanied by cramps. The case will be further confirmed by a number of other symptoms: if the kidneys are not functioning properly, if there is a tendency to swelling of the hands and feet, and if another keynote is present - everything smells like honey to the patient.
Some other symptoms met by this remedy are: trembling of the body with prostration; tingling pains in the toes; flying pains in different parts; great fullness and pain of the head; and pain of all the teeth on the left side of the lower jaw. Bilious diarrhea is another strong feature of this remedy.
Clarke reports in his Dictionary that Dr. Hale cured with Apocynum andr. a case of rheumatic gout with the following symptoms: "Acute pains in the joints attended with cramps, bilious stools and flying pains in the teeth."
Dosage
From 6x to the highest.
