Clarke

Cupressus lawsoniana has been used clinically by Burnett as a variant of Thuja and Sabina in treatment of tumors including cocks-comb growths in the mouth, lipoma of the thigh, and keloid. The proving was fragmentary but revealed severe gastric pain. Clinically indicated for keloid, various tumors, and warts.

Characteristics

Cupress. L. has been proved in a fragmentary way by Burnett, who had to relinquish the proving on account of the "terrible pains it caused in the stomach." He concludes from his experience that the action is very like that of Thuja, and he has successfully used it as a variant of that remedy and of Sabina in the cure of tumours: cocks-comb growth in the mouth; lipoma of thigh; keloid.
