Bryonia is a splendid remedy for headaches either of a rheumatic, neuralgic or bilious type with the usual characteristics, worse on slightest motion, pressure outward as though head was too full, pains begin on opening eyes in the morning. In the bilious, there is considerable vertigo, objects reel before the eyes as though the head was moving in a circle, the tongue is badly located, has a foul breath and general malaise. I have seen splendid results in these bilious cases, with vertigo and vomiting by prescribing Bryonia,
There are so many uses for Bryonia when the diseases have the usual characteristics as we have just enumerated. You will find it beneficial in neuritis of any nerve of the body, as for instance sciatic, brachial-plexus or intercostal nerves. It is also a good remedy for effusions, whether of the pelvis, plural or pericardium. It is often the first remedy thought of and most often prescribed in these exudative conditions.
In the dysfunctioning of many of the organs of the body Bryonia plays a leading role in their recovery. It is truly a sheet-anchor remedy for many of our serious diseases and also for our minor ills. I have referred to but a few, as time allotted me would not permit of extensive discussion of this very useful drug, in its application to disease.
If and when Hitler is banished to St. Helena, dont permit him to take the every helpful Bryonia with him, if you wish his early demise.
