BRYONIA ALBA



“Epistaxis instead of menses (vicarious menstruation), also blood spitting.

“Mastitis, breasts pale, hot, hard, heavy and painful.

“Suppression of lochia with bursting headache.

“Suppression of milk, menses, measles or rash of scarlatina, or where all these are slow in appearing; of course the other BRYONIA symptoms must be present.

“Frequent desire to take long breath; MUST expand the lungs.(CACTUS, IGNATIA, NAT-SULPH.)

“Cough dry, worse after eating, sometimes with vomiting; worse moving; worse coming from open air into warm room. (NAT-C.)

“Cough hurts head and chest, holds them with hands.” (EUPATORIUM-PERF, NAT-S.)

These are some of the peculiar symptoms which cannot be ranged under any general head, and are excellent leaders to the consideration of BRYONIA, all and each of which will be found associated with the more general characteristics already noticed.

The dominant school do not know what they have lost in not being acquainted with the virtues of this remedy, as developed in our provings and clinical use, but we know what we have gained.
