Phellandrium Aquaticum

Phloriz. exists in fine, silky, four-sided, colourless needles, soluble in water. It

has a bitter and slightly astringent taste, and has been used in old-school practice as a remedy for

intermittent fever, and whilst being administered for this it has produced glycosuria. This

observation has led to its successful use by homceopaths in cases of diabetes. Successes with the

3x and 6 have been reported. A patient to whom it was given by Burnett accused him of having

given him a preparation of apples. The man discovered it because it produced herpes along the

dorsum of the penis, an effect which invariably occurred whenever he ventured to eat apples. V.
