Reason for use

Acts powerfully upon the motor nervous system, producing paralysis, beginning with paraplegia.

It differs from Mercury in first affecting the lower extremities, and in not exciting tremors, and from Lead in not causing colic and constipation.

Through its nervous influence, Manganum produces irritation of various organs, even extending to inflammation.

Characteristic symptoms.

▲ Worse

At night; from changes of weather (Ranunc.), which sometimes also ameliorate; symptoms coming on indoors are better in the open air, and vice versa
