PULSATILLA NIGRICANS

The common names of Pulsatilla Nigri are Wind Flower, Pasque Floere, Meadow Anemone and Easter Flower. It grows in open fields and plains in dry places in many parts of Europe, Russia and Asia. The plant was introduced into Homoeopathy by Samuel Hahnemann in 1805. The mother tincture is prepared from the whole plant and dilution from it. The chief guiding symptoms for the selection of Pulsatilla are found in fair blue eyed women having rather cheerful mental state and disposition. The tincture of Pulsatilla benefits the disorders of the mucous membranes and of the respiratory and digestive passages. It is also considered valuable for catarrhal affection of the eyes, catarrhal diarrhoea and neuralgia. It is also of service in amenorrhoea, measles, chilblains, nettlerash, neuralgic tooth ache, otalgia, indigestion and bilious attacks.
