Medicine Of The Day
Latin Name:
Bryonia Alba
Common Name:
white bryony, common bryony, wild hops
Description:
Used for dryness in mucous membranes, excessive thirst, inflamed joints and membranes, weakness, mastitis, colic, and abdominal pain, including that resulting from gas, heartburn, and indigestion. Also used for coughs, flu, violent headaches, and other slowly developing acute ailments. Bryonia alba is also for pneumonia, chest pain, constipation, and excessive sweating. A common use of this remedy is for people who display extreme irritability and a desire to be left alone (Jonas 256, Lockie 88).
Health Tip of the DayDon't worry! Worry affects blood circulation, heart, glands and the entire nervous system. None dies of overwork, but many do die of worry.
Health Quote of the Day When health, affrighted, spreads her rosy wing, And flies with every changing gale of spring."
- Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
