Cina maritima — introduction · Margaret Lucy Tyler
(“ Wormseed ” so-called : but not seed—unopened buds) Hahnemann, in the preface to his provings of Cina, tells us that " for centuries no other use had been made of this very important vegetable substance, except for the expulsion of lumbrici in children, in doses of 10, 20, 30, 60 and more grains. I will pass over the not unfrequently dangerous, or even fatal effects of such doses, nor will I dwell on the fact that a few lumbrici are not to be considered as an important disease in otherwise healthy children, and are common in childhood (where psora is still latent) and are generally unattended by morbid symptoms. On the other hand, this much is true, that when they are present in large numbers, the cause of this is always some morbid condition of the body . . . and unless this be cured, though large numbers of the lumbrici may be expelled by Cina, they are soon reproduced. Hence, by such forcible expulsion of the worms, not only is nothing gained, but such improper treatment, if persisted in, often ends in the death of the tortured children.* " This vegetable substance has much more valuable curative properties, which may be easily inferred from the subjoined characteristic morbid symptoms produced by it in the healthy. " Experience of what it can do, for instance in whooping-cough and in certain intermittent fevers accompanied by vomiting and ravenous hunger, will excite astonishment. . . . " Formerly I used to employ the tincture potentized to the trillion-fold dilution, but I have found that when raised to the decillion-fold dilution" (the 30th potency) " i t displays its medicinal powers still more perfectly. .
