Hydrastininum muriaticum
Hydrastinine hydrochloride · Plant · Ranunculaceae
Hydrastininum muriaticum is an alkaloid of Hydrastis canadensis used primarily for internal haemorrhage and uterine fibroid tumours. A case of central uterine fibroid about the size of a large orange, pressing on the bladder, was quickly reduced with Hydrastinine 3x. It is free from the irritant properties of the parent alkaloid Hydrastine.

Characteristics
The alkaloids of Hydrastis have been largely used in the old school as remedies for internal hæmorrhage. Hydrastin. was found to be inconvenient by reason of its irritant properties. Hydrastinin., a modification of Hydrastin., proved to he free from this drawback, and its use in fibroid tumours has been advocated by Dr. Burford and others in the homœopathic school. A case of central uterine fibroid tumour under my care, about the size of a large orange, and pressing on the bladder, causing bladder symptoms, was quickly reduced in size with the disappearance of all troublesome symptoms by Hydrastinin. 3x.
