Hydrastis and its efficiency.

Hello Friends,

With this thread I would like to reveal something that has been experimented several times for treating several diseases (Also for strengthening Immunity).
Its all about uses of Hydrastis Canadensis.
We all know how important is health of a liver for healthy life. Weak liver gives rise to several problems such as weak digestion, bad immunity, slow metabolism, slow healing/recovery from any disease, etc.
It has been since few decades that many researches have been done to unveil the power of hydrastis and to the surprise it has been found that "Hydrastis" works as a very powerful Natural Antibiotic.
Below are the areas where Hydrastis shows its effect:

Acts especially on mucous membranes, relaxing them and producing a thick, yellowish, ropy secretion. The catarrh may be anywhere,-throat, stomach, uterus, urethra,-it is always characterized by this peculiar mucous discharge. Hydrastis is especially active in old, easily-tired people, cachectic individuals, with great debility. Cerebral effects prominent, feels his wits sharpened, head cleared, facile expression. Weak muscular power, poor digestion and obstinate constipation. Lumbago. Emaciation and prostration. Its action on the liver is marked. C ancer and c ancerous state, before ulceration, when pain is principal symptom. Goitre of puberty and pregnancy. Small-pox internally and locally. The power of Hydrastis over smallpox seen in modifying the disease, abolishing its distressing symptoms, shortening its course, lessening its danger and greatly mitigating its consequences (J. J. Garth Wilkinson).
