REMEDY NAME:ARISTOLOCHIA CLEMATITIS
Arist-cl. Aristolochia Clematitis. The presence of Aristolochic acid,
isolated from the subterranean parts of the plant, must be emphasized here.
It is toxic and an irritant, as well as a stimulant of phagocytosis. It is a
yellow, bitter substance with a phenathrenic nucleus, and it comprises a
nitrate group. Historical dose: Trituration and all potencies, 3x to
30c.
Aristolochia Clematitis, of the Aristolochiaceae family, grows in Southern
Europe and South America. Its active principle is clematine, which is
identical to the Aristolochia or the Serpentarin as well as to non-purified
Aristolochic acid. Aristolochic acid causes menorrhagia, tends towards
miscarriage, and has a toxic action on the kidneys and liver parenchyma as
well as intestinal mucous membranes.
Aristos means better, locheia means giving birth. In popular medicine to
induce birth or stimulant the menses. Also as a diuretic, and against
rheumatism. In high doses it is an emetic and cathartic. In South America,
some Aristolochia are used for blindness.
The proving by Mezger made use of the Spring rhizome. The experiment was
