CANNABIS INDICA (Cann-i)

"I do not propose to adopt the usual way by beginning with /Aconite/ and ending with /Zincum/, but to follow the bent of my inclinations, or, as it is sometimes expressed, the movings of the spirit; and may I not here invoke the aid of the spirits of the immortal Hahnemann, Boenninghausen and the galaxy of bright names that adorn the fair page of the history of Homoeopathy to help me."

First: NUX VOMICA (nux-v)

Previus: AMBRA GRISEA (Ambr)

Next: AGARICUS MUSCARIUS (Agar)

A lady with dropsy, consequent on valvular heart disease, after being relieved of the bloating, was suddenly unable to talk. In answer to a question she could begin a sentence, but could not finish it, because she could not remember what she intended to say. She was very impatient about it and would cry, but could not finish the sentence, but could signify her assent if it was finished by some one else for her. This continued for several days, or until she received Cannabis Indica, when she rapidly recovered her power to express herself. This is all the experience I have had with this remedy that is worth relating.
