Sanguinaria canadensis — introduction · Margaret Lucy Tyler
(Bloodroot) Wh e n one thinks of recurrent sick headaches, one's thoughts are apt to fly beyond the polycrests to, especially. Iris and Sanguinaria', and it may be well to take them one after the other, in order to realize their great differences, as well as their correspondences: because there is no such splendid way of learning anything, as teaching it. The person you .teach may absorb little or much— depends perhaps a bit upon the way the thing is presented and the extent to which it interests him and gets his attention : but the person who teaches is obliged to really study and get the subject up, and it probably goes in a little deeper, and more ought to stick. Sanguinaria, like Iris, has won a great reputation in sick headaches ; but Sanguinaria is of the “ sun headache ” variety : starts with sunrise, grows more intense as the day wears on, and declines towards evening. There is nothing like this in Iris. Other drugs that come in here are Gl o n., Nat. m., Phos., Spig., Stann. Sanguinaria also lacks the burning acridity of Iris, while it affects lungs more than, like Iris, the length of the digestive tract. Sanguinaria is a -great chest medicine : useful even in phthisis. Hahnemann, in his arrangement of provings (and all his followers in their arrangement of materia medica and Repertories, following his useful lead), starts with mouth, runs through the whole of the digestive tract, oesophagus, stomach, intestines, rectum, anus and stool, adding the organs of digestive secretions,liver, pancreas;—in all these Iris meddles fearfully, and therefore heals. Then he starts again at mouth, and runs through the respiratory system, and here Sanguinaria especially interferes, for evil and for good.
