Botanical name: Sttychnos ignatia Berg

Recommended Use: 

Produces a marked hyperaesthesia of all the senses and a tendency to
clonic  spasms.   Mentally,  the  emotional  element  is  uppermost,  and  co-
ordination of function is interfered with. Hence, it is one of the chief remedies
for hysteria. It is especially adapted to the nervous temperament—women of
sensitive, easily excited nature, dark, mild disposition, quick to perceive, rapid
in execution. Rapid change of mental and physical condition, opposite to each
other.  Great contradictions.  Alert,’ nervous,  apprehensive,  rigid,  trembling
patients who suffer acutely in mind or body at the same time, made worse
by drinking coffee. The superficial and erratic character of its symptoms is
most characteristic. Effects of grief and worry. Cannot bear tobacco. Pain in
small, circumscribed spots (Oxal. ac.). The plague. Hiccough and hysterical
vomiting.
