Xantoxylum fraxineum
********************
Xantoxylum fraxineum is a marvellous remedy which is
usually missed because of its limitted symptoms. It
can be said that it is one of our female remedies that
may be indicated in female problems such as
dysmenorrhea, endometriosis, ovarian tumors, uterine
cancer,.....
Now let's see what the mental picture of Xantoxylum
patients is.
Xan patients are very anxious and restless. Their
restlessness can be compared with Arsenicum album.
This anxious restlessness is usually apparent before
menses.

something will happen.

MIND - FEAR - happen, something will
All these mental features are aggravated before
menses.
Hypersensitivity to noise is another feature of
Xantoxylum. That's why it is also compared with
Phosphorus and Sabina.
MIND - SENSITIVE - noise, to - slightest noise; to the
MIND - STARTING - noise, from
Apathy and sadness may also develop in Xan patients;
esp before menses!

MIND - INDIFFERENCE - life, to
So do not forget these features of Xantoxylum;
Restlessness, Fear of death, Anxiety about future,
Sensitivity to noise and apathy.
A peculiar mental feature of Xantoxylum is sensation
of sinking, going down and falling. You see this
feature in the following delusions of this remedy.

The most important physical symptom of Xantoxylum is
its dysmenorrhea with severe ovarian pains. Ovarian
pains extend to back and down the thigh and are
accompanied by numbness.
FEMALE GENITALIA/SEX - PAIN - Ovaries - extending to -
Back

It is also one of the important remedies indicated in
amenorrhea from getting feet wet (Like Pulsatilla).
Left side of the body is much more affected by
Xantoxylum.
If you do not know this remedy, you may prescribe
Sepia, Sabina, Ustilago, Gnaphalium or Arsenicum album
instead of Xan.
So! In anxious women with dysmenorrhea and severe
ovarian pains think of Xantoxylum fraxineum.
