A BRIEF GUIDE TO SELECTED HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES – DAPHNE MEZEREUM (DAPHNE, SPURGE LAUREL)
The last muddy streaks of snow are still lying on the upland meadows and under the rhododendrons when the bright red blossoms of the daphne already catch our eye. The homoeopathic remedy Mezereum is prepared from the bark of this attractive but poisonous plant.
It is a wonderful remedy for shingles, facial erysipelas and vesicular eruptions, those itching little blisters on a red background that become worse when scratched.
For deep-seated varicose ulcers this remedy is second to none.
Mezereum is indicated for dry mucous membranes accompanied by dry and irritating cough and a feeling of constriction across the chest, which occurs especially during the night, as well as intense thirst with burning pains in the throat and a raw nasal discharge. Even in acute cases the remedy must not be given in potencies
