🎯 A deep-acting restorative remedy that profoundly affects the nervous system, circulation, and emotional state.
📖 Boericke writes:
(ANCISTRODON)
Like the other snake poisons, it affects the system profoundly. Like arsenic, it has dyspnoea, mental and physical restlessness, thirst for small quantities of water, necessity for having clothing loose, like Laches. Marked alternation of moods; vivid dreams. Is a wonderful restorative and deep acting remedy. Increased sexual desire in both sexes. Ineffectual attempts to recline. Right ovarian region painful.
👤 Constitution
Individuals who are restless, absent-minded, and prone to alternating moods, often requiring loose clothing and feeling worse when lying down.
