Lesser Known Remedies - Mandragora Officinarum (Mand.)

[J Lucas]

I am really enjoying these lesser known rx pieces - thank you for posting
them.

For those who might be interested - the mandrake is also called 'the
screaming mandrake' due to the noise that the plant makes when it is pulled
from the ground. Most of the Solanaceae family have something to scream
about!

I know many of you are not keen on 'signatures' but this is a feature which
has relevance I think.

best wishes, Joy

Mandragora officinarum
**********************

Mandragora officinarum is a plant remedy with the
common name of Mandrake and belongs to the natural
order of Solanaceae. As you know Stramonium,
Belladonna and Hyoscyamus also belong to this order,
Solanaceae.

Although Mandragora is not a new remedy, it was
reproved in 1995 under supervision of Schmalbach.

Mandragora can be classified under hysterical remedies
because of its prominent changeable mood. Sadness with
weeping alternating with euphoria and mental
hyperactivity is the prominent feature.

MIND - HYSTERIA
MIND - MOOD - alternating
MIND - EUPHORIA - alternating with - sadness
