GYMNOCLADUS CANADENSIS

As prescribed by the physician.

• Gymnocladus canadensis is a significant and multifaceted homoeopathic medicine prepared from the fresh pulp of the pods of the American Coffee-tree, a member of the Leguminosae family. It is especially noted for its marked action on the head, eyes, throat, digestive system, and skin, with a special affinity for catarrhal headaches, erysipelatous facial swelling, and gastric disturbances. Characterized by pressure, burning, stitching pains, and a general sense of tightness and fullness, this medicine proves invaluable in acute inflammatory and catarrhal states as well as in early febrile conditions.
