      Whortleberry. Bilberry. *N. O.Vacciniacea. Tincture of fresh berries.

Characteristics

My attention was first drawn to this remedy by Dr. A. H. Croucher in an article published in the homoeopathic Review many years ago, giving cases of inveterate diarrhoea cured by it. This experience I have repeatedly confirmed. I have always used it in the tincture, generally giving 5-drop doses every four hours. It is especially applicable to vaccinal, malarial, and dysenteric cases. Whortleberry is a close relative of Cranberry, and the natural order is allied to the Ericacea. It is a native of heathy and swampy mountainous regions.

Clinical

Diarrhoea. Dysentery.
