Reason for use

Through the vegetative sphere Helonias acts on the blood-making processes, inducing a debilitated condition and a disorganizing effect ; hence its applicability in anemia and chlorosis.

Its local action is especially centered upon the kidneys and uterus, producing irritation and consequent stimulation, followed, secondarily, by an atonic condition.

Characteristic symptoms.
