      NEW JERSEY TEA-RED ROOT. (Ceanothus-KEavw0os, keanothos, a kind of thistle.).

Introduction

      This indigenous shrub “derives its common name from the fact that during the Revolution, when Chinese tea could not be procured, it was used as a substitute” (Hale). Even to-day uncomplimentary remarks are made concerning our neighboring State.

Ceanothus has received but fragmentary provings, that by Dr. J. C. Burnett, of England, in 1879, being among the first.

Symptoms

      Chronic inflammation and hypertrophy of the spleen (173) seems to be the especial province of the remedy. There may be pain or not and sometimes there is extreme dyspnoea.

For clinical reports of its use, see Dr. Burnett’s article as quoted in Hale’s New Remedies.
