🎯 It acts primarily on the gastro-enteric tract to produce intense, sudden, and forcible diarrhea.

📖 Boericke writes:

(GAMBOGIA - GARCINIA MORELLA)

The use of this drug in Homeopathy has been confined to its action on the alimentary tract. It produces a diarrhoea very similar to Croton. BETTERFrom its pathogenesis, it is very evident that it has very intense and definite action especially on the gastro-enteric tract.
