Assafetida. Umhelliferce.
Εισήχθη και δοκιμάστηκε (proving) από τον Franz, το 1822. Βλ. Stapf s Archives, τόμ. I, τεύχ. 3, σ. 187· 326 συμπτώματα από τους Hahnemann, Stapf, Gross και Gutmann.
Το 1829 προστέθηκαν τα συμπτώματα του Jorg από τον Hartlaub (1833). Το 1839 ένα σύμπτωμα του Jahn, όχι του Trinks, ο οποίος δεν έκανε ποτέ proving. Το 1868, πλήρες proving του Lembke, με την ουσία. Μεταφράστηκε από τον Lilienthal, και δημοσιεύτηκε στο New York Quarterly, σελίδα 475, 1869, με σχόλια.
Το τελευταίο proving του E. W. Berridge, Organon, τόμ. II, είναι μεγάλης σημασίας.
