This text comes from a classic Materia Medica dating from 1927, reproduced in full because they are 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 They record what their authors observed and taught, as historical reference for students and practitioners of homeopathy — not current clinical evidence.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.
