SBL’s Hydrastis canadensis proves helpful in the following conditions:
Catarrh
Hydrastis canadensis directly affects mucous membranes and produces thick, yellow, ropy secretions. As a result, it works well in stubborn catarrhal conditions with characteristic discharge.
General Debility and Cachexia
This remedy strengthens elderly or easily exhausted individuals who suffer from marked weakness. Additionally, it improves poor digestion, muscle weakness, persistent constipation, and extreme fatigue.
Dyspepsia
Hydrastis strongly influences the liver and digestive tract. It relieves weak digestion, bitter taste, stomach soreness, atonic dyspepsia, epigastric pulsation, difficulty digesting bread or vegetables, jaundice, gallstones, and gastrointestinal catarrh.
Cancerous Conditions
In early stages, before ulceration develops, Hydrastis helps reduce pain and discomfort. Furthermore, it supports cases involving tumors, including goitre during puberty and pregnancy.
Depression
The remedy benefits individuals who experience deep depression accompanied by a sense of impending death and a desire for it.
Headache and Sinus Conditions
Hydrastis eases dull, pressing forehead pain and muscle soreness in the scalp and neck. It also relieves sinusitis following colds and eczema along the hairline.
Ear and Nasal Catarrh
This remedy reduces roaring sounds in the ears, muco-purulent discharge, deafness, and Eustachian tube catarrh. At the same time, it improves thick nasal discharge, excoriating watery secretions, and ulceration of the nasal septum.
Mouth Ulcers
Hydrastis treats a peppery taste, swollen flabby tongue with teeth marks, stomatitis, tongue ulcers, and raw throat pain. In addition, it relieves follicular pharyngitis and thick post-nasal mucus.
Back Pain
The remedy alleviates dull, heavy pain and stiffness in the lower back. Many individuals feel relief when rising from a seated position with arm support.
Anal Prolapse and Fissures
Hydrastis helps manage prolapsed anus, fissures, and hemorrhoids. It also eases constipation with a sinking stomach sensation, smarting pain during stool, and lingering discomfort afterward.
Urinary Problems
This remedy improves gleety discharge and urine with a decomposed odor.
Gonorrhea
Hydrastis supports recovery during the second stage of gonorrhea, especially when thick yellow discharge appears.
Menorrhagia and Leucorrhea
The remedy addresses cervical erosion, excoriation, acrid leucorrhea, and excessive menstrual flow. Furthermore, it relieves pruritus vulvae, sexual excitement, and breast tumors with retracted nipples.
Bronchitis
Hydrastis soothes raw chest pain, dry cough, and bronchial catarrh. It also reduces thick yellow expectoration, faintness with cold sweat, and suffocation felt while lying on the left side.
Skin Eruptions
Finally, this remedy supports unhealthy skin conditions such as lupus, ulcers, cancerous growths, smallpox-like eruptions, excessive sweating, and slow-healing lesions.
