| For all the individuals plagued by this plant's nasty summer rashes, take
solace in that for all the aggravation it can cause, it can relieve much
more. Because it can cause itching, blistering rashes, its homeopathic
remedy can ease itching, blistering rashes, red patches or hives (it has
been used successfully for prevention, too). Even more harolded is Rhus'
ability to ease joints with rheumatic pains or injuries which cause
stiffness, swelling and redness that improve with movement. Similar joint
pain shows up in Rhus' flu or fever along with a dry throat, chills and
fatigue. Eye inflammation, hoarseness, headache and cold sores may respond
to Rhus, too. All its symptoms are better with heat, hot bathing and dry
weather, and worse at night and in damp cold weather. Much restlessness and
a head full of cares and worries mark it Rhus tox, too. The key to
remembering Rhus is its nickname "the rusty gate remedy" because, though
squeaky and painful at first, it always improves with gentle motion. |
