General

Natural order.- Simarubaceae.

General Analysis.-

Acts upon the cerebro-spinal and the sympathetic nervous systems, giving rise principally to cerebral congestion, and following this to a febrile condition much resembling intermittent fever, especially such as occurs in damp, warm, low, marshy climates.

The chief characteristic of this remedy is a periodicity which is often clock-like in its regularity . (Aran. diad.)

Therapeutic Range.- (Cedron)

Has been little used save in intermittents, especially those of an obstinate character, accompanied by violent cerebral disturbances, and which continually recur in spite of other treatment ; also, more particularly, if originating in damp, warm, marshy climates, or in tropical countries.

According to Casanova , residents of hot countries are more susceptible to the influences of the drug.

In South America, Cedron is considered a specific for the bites of venomous serpents.
