Introduction

Euphorbia hypericifolia, Linn. Natural order: Euphorbiaceae. Preparation: Tincture of the whole plant.

General symptoms

I experienced a sensation of fullness in the frontal part of the head, and also through the lateral portions, with headache similar to that produced by Cimicifuga, but not so severe; the pain seemed to center at the crown of the head, but there was a feeling of heat above the eyes that was very characteristic; there was no ringing in the ears of vertigo, but the head symptoms were of that degree of positiveness, that it was with difficulty I could fix my mind on anything else but the headache; the maximum of the feeling was about two hours after taking the medicine, and it subsided in about three and a half hours, and was succeeded by a feeling of languor and drowsiness which lasted several hours, but no sleep was produced by it. While the head symptoms existed there was a feeling of unpleasant fullness and oppression at the epigastrium, and I was compelled to take physic the second day for the constipation it had caused. (He also got the same symptom of epigastric oppression from two drachms of the tincture).
