Trombidium Muscae Domesticae

Tropcolum is a native of Peru. It was called "Cress" and "Nasturtium" because

the taste of the leaves was considered like the taste of cress, and they have been used like cress in

salads. The seeds make pickles, and are used as a substitute for capers. A patient to whom

Cooper gave Trop. noted that it made the urine extremely fetid in smell. On this keynote Cooper

has relieved several cases of urinary difficulty, giving single doses of the R tincture.
