Podophyllum peltatum
podo-pelThese texts come from 4 classic Materia Medicas dating from 1908 to 1931, now in the public domain. They record what their authors observed and taught, as historical reference for students and practitioners of homeopathy — not current clinical evidence. Nothing on this page is medical advice: for any health problem, see a qualified doctor.
