30CMorphinum
Morphine · Morphia · "The Opium Pain Sedative Remedy"
morph.PlantUncommonPsoric
🎯 A powerful sedative and pain reliever that acts primarily on the nervous system to induce deep sleep and manage intense pain.
📖 Boericke writes:
Morphine bears the same relation to Opium as Atropine to Belladonna-i.e, represents its nervous side. It is less stimulating, less convulsant, and more decidedly hypnotic. Constipates less and affects contractility of the bladder more. It is less diaphoretic and more pruritic.
