Keynotes

Characteristics

Clarke

Galium has had no proving, but it is a popular remedy for cancer given

internally and used externally; and also for scrofulous swellings and ulcers. It is further used as a

diuretic and as a solvent for gravel and stone. It has cured a case of nodulated tumour of the

tongue diagnosed to be cancer (see Hale); and a case of psoriasis of the hand (left) has been

reported cured. Substantial doses were given in each case, and in the latter poultices of the herb

were used as well.
