Fraxinus Americanus

Fraxinus has had a fragmentary proving, but the chief clinical authority for its

use is Dr. Burnett, who regards it as a uterine tonic in all heavy states of the uterus with prolapse,

bearing-down, and relaxed ligaments. He calls it "the medicinal pessary." I have repeatedly

verified his indications. It is an organ-remedy of the first rank. It is also indicated in uterine

tumours, especially fibroids, with bearing-down sensations.
