Materia Medica de A a Z

HYPERICUM PERFORATUM (hyper)

"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: LACTIS ACIDUM (Lac-ac)

Next: THE END

Is the remedy "par excellence" for wounded or injured nerves; from simple punctures from nails, splinters, pins, rat bites, etc., to severe concussions of the spine and brain, and especially to parts rich in centient nerves. It is to this kind of injuries what Arnica (Arn), Hamamelis (Ham), Ruta, etc., are to bruises, and Calendula (Calen) to lacerated muscular tissue, and Staphisagria (Staph) to cuts with sharp instruments.
