HYDROCOTYLE ASIATICA-INDIAN PENNYWORT.
Introduction
(Hydrocotyle-vowp, hudor, water kotule, a cavity, a cap, the plants growing in moist places and the leaves are hollowed out like a cup.)
Our symptoms are mostly form old-school sources, the effect of the drug taken as an experiment or as given to those with some skin lesion.
Symptoms
As general symptoms, we have mental and physical weariness (155) and a bruised sensation in all the muscles (166).
Hydrocotyle has cured lupus (128) and ameliorated leprosy, seemingly arresting the destructive processes.
Excessive thickening and exfoliation of the epidermis is a marked indication for its use and it has cured psoriasis (158) and greatly relieved elephantiasis (66).
A case of elephantiasis of the 1. lower extremity, where the calf (20in.) and thigh (26in.) of the affected side were nine inches larger round than of the affected side were nine inches larger round than of the unaffected side, improved greatly while taking this remedy.
I use Hydrocotyle 3d.
