Hydrastininum muriaticum

      An alkalolid of Hydrastis canadensis C11 H11 NO2 HCl. Trituration of the crystals.

Clinical

*Fibroma. Metrorrhagia.

Characteristics

The alkaloids of *Hydrastis have been largely used in the old school as remedies for internal haemorrhage. *Hydrastin was found to be inconvenient by reason of its irritant properties. *Hydrastinin., a modification of *Hydrastin., proved to be free from this drawback, and its use in fibroid tumors has been advocated by Dr. Burford and others in the homoeopathic school. A case of central uterine fibroid tumour under my care, about the size of a large orange, and pressing on the bladder, causing bladder symptoms, was quickly reduced in size with the disappearance of all troublesome symptoms by *Hydrastinin. 3x.
