Reason for use
Where do we find records of Clematis ?
In Stapf's Archives and in Hahnemann's Chronic Diseases. Provings of the Austrian Society .
What is this drug ?
This is the Virgin's bower , a European plant ; the tincture is made from the roots and stems in the same manner as described under Aconite , and should be imported.
What is our principal use of the drug ?
In orchitis of gonorrhoeal origin, and when the testicle in indurated and hard as a stone and very painful.
Compare it with Rhododendron.
In Rhododendron the testicle tends to atrophy ; there is a crushed feeling in the gland, and it is more useful in chronic cases ; both drugs have pains which course up the spermatic cord.
