Quick Overview
Venous congestion, haemorrhages, varicose veins and haemorrhoids, with bruised soreness of affected parts, seem to be the special sphere of this remedy. It acts upon the coats of the veins causing relaxation with consequent engorgement. It is of great value in open, painful wounds, with weakness from loss of blood. It is astringent, anti-inflammatory, and stops external and internal bleeding. A tannin ‘hamamelitannin’ present in this drug, exhibits an activity of inhibiting colon cancer growth.
