Does anyone have experience with Fragaria, or information about it
beyond its connection with tartar?
Thanks,
Shannon

Vermeulen Concordant\Fragaria
Frag.
Fragaria vesca; Strawberry


Acts on digestion and mesenteric glands. Prevents formation of calculi, removes tartar from teeth and prevents attacks of gout. The fruit has refrigerant properties. Strawberries produce symptoms of poisoning in certain susceptible individuals, such as urticarial rashes [strawberry anaphylaxis]. Here, give Fragaria high potency. Chilblains; agg during hot weather. Lack of mammary secretion. Sprue [8 a number of cases of sprue have been cured by a diet of strawberries ad libitum]. 6 Anasarca, especially and swollen tongue. An infusion of the root has been used for drying up the breasts in women who wish to wean their children; it dries up the milk and diminishes the size of the breasts.


OB Tongue swollen; strawberry tongue.


Urticaria; petechial and erysipelatous eruptions. Swelling of whole body; 8 and faintness.

Does anyone here know anything on the provings for Fragaria Vesca? I
would like to know what adverse effects might be forthcoming from
repeated use of it.

From Clarke MM
Fragaria Vesca

Strawberry. N. O. Rosaceae. Tincture of the ripe fruit. Infusion of the
root.



Anasarca. Biliousness. Chilblains. Convulsions. Erysipelas. Gonorrhoea.
Psilosis (or Sprue). Tapeworm. Tongue, strawberry; swollen. Urticaria.
Weaning.



It is well known that many persons are unable to eat strawberries, and the
poisonous effects resulting from them on those who are sensitive to their
action have been utilised in homoeopathy.

Faintness; suffocation like apoplexy; convulsions and death have resulted;
general anasarca, and especially swollen tongue.

The well-known "strawberry tongue" is an indication for its use. Dr. Burnett
gives it as "pippy tongue".

An infusion of the root is used for drying up the breasts in women who wish
to wean their children; it diminishes the size of the breasts and dries up
the milk.

Profuse viscid sweat has been observed.

Lippe mentions; "Tapeworm. Pain in chilblains in hot weather".

In old physic Fragaria vesca (in decoctions of leaves, or fruit ripe or
unripe, or combinations of these) had a very large place assigned to it.

It is commended by W. Salmon as a wash for sore-mouth; as a haemostatic
arresting the menses and stopping "bloody-flux;" swelling of the spleen;
many forms of skin eruption and for "clearing the complexion".

In two instances I have known indulgence in strawberries to revive symptoms
of gonorrhoea in men who thought themselves cured. A number of cases of
sprue or psilosis have been cured by a diet of strawberries and libitum (H.
W., xxxiv. 440).
