INFORMATION
We use a tincture and infusion of the root; likewise the alkaloid Trillin and its triturations.
In our own practice we have made use of this drug in the various forms of uterine haemorrhage for which this drug has been recommended empirically, more particularly in menorrhagia, in metrorrhagia after miscarriage or parturition, excessive lochial discharges. We have used both the tincture and an infusion. We believe that fractional doses of the drug have likewise answered the purpose.
Charles Julius Hempel (5 September 1811 Solingen, Prussia - 25 September 1879 Grand Rapids, Michigan) was a German-born translator and homeopathic physician who worked in the United States. While attending medical lectures at the University of New York, where he graduated in 1845, he became associated with several eminent homeopathic practitioners, and soon after his graduation he began to translate some of the more important works relating to homeopathy. He was appointed professor of materia medica and therapeutics in the Hahnemann Medical College of Philadelphia in 1857.
