Homeopathy LibraryApocynum Cannabinum
Reason for use
This drug, in common with most of the Apocynaceae, is a cardiac poison, powerfully depressing the heart (in large doses) and causing a weak and irregular pulse.
It increases the intestinal secretions and the urine, weakens the sphincters and causes haemorrhoidal engorgement.
