Geranium Maculatum

There are two fragmentary provings of Geran. mac. one made with root

preparations, one with infusion of the plant. The chief symptoms observed have been diplopia

and other disorders of vision (these were observed by the prover of the decoction; the remaining

symptoms resulted from the root preparation); and constant and ineffectual desire for stool. In

the mother tinctures and lower attenuations it has been used successfully in cases of haemorrhage

from various parts—nose, stomach, lungs. Under the use of the drug the blood in hemorrhages

becomes darker, clots more easily, and is much less in quantity. The root contains both tannic

and gallic acids. It has also been used for chronic diarrhoea and for leucorrhcea.
