Caulophyllum
Proved by Dr. Burt.
It acts on the female generative organs and
on rheumatic states. Its action on the muscular tissue of the uterus (whether
gravid or not) is to cause intermittent spasms or contractions (differing from
the continuous contractions of Secale).
No other drug produces uterine spasms so markedly except Secale. Bearing-down
pains. Paraplegia from disorders of the uterus. Left ovarian and left
inframammary pains. Leucorrhœa in little girls. The pains are
intermittent and paroxysmal, and fly about from place to place; generally < at
night. Great nervous excitement; tremulous weakness over whole body. Can
scarcely speak. Sleepless, restless, nervous; recalling the effects of coffee,
which is incompatible with it.
Leucorrhœa sharp, acrid, very weakening; with heavy eyelids; of profuse bland
mucus; in little girls; with forcing-down pains; with sterility.Threatened
abortion; spasmodic bearing-down; severe pain in back and loins, but uterine
contractions feeble.Habitual abortion from uterine atony
In rheumatic affections of the small joints and muscles.
