APOCYNUM CANNABINUM

As prescribed by the physician.

• Apocynum cannabinum is a valuable and important homoeopathic medicine prepared from Indian Hemp, a native American plant belonging to the Apocynaceae family. It is especially noted for its powerful action on the serous membranes, cellular tissues, and urinary system, where it supports the removal of fluid through increased secretions and diuresis. This medicine is particularly suited to cases of dropsy, ascites, and anasarca, with symptoms marked by gastric irritability and great thirst. It also supports cardiac and renal function in conditions like mitral/tricuspid regurgitation, renal dropsy, and Bright’s disease. Apocynum cannabinum is an excellent choice in both acute and chronic edematous states, offering relief from drowsiness, nausea, and suppressed urine.
