CALENDULA OFFICINALIS


CALENDULA OFFICINALIS signs and symptoms from the Characteristic Materia Medica by William Burt of the homeopathic medicine CALENDULA OFFICINALIS…


SPHERE OF ACTION

It probably produces its wonderful action in preventing and diminishing suppuration in lacerated wounds, through the spinal nervous system; certainly no remedy can equal it in lacerated wounds, with or without loss of substance.

The wound is raw and inflamed; is painful, as if beaten; the parts around the wound become red, with stinging in the wound during the febrile heat.

It seems to have some specific action upon mucous membranes, for no remedy can equal it as an injection in vaginal and uterine leucorrhoea.
