Rubia tinctorum
Plant · Rubiaceae
Rubia tinctorum suits patients with anaemia, particularly splenic anaemia with under-nourished conditions. Burnett used it in ten-drop doses of the mother tincture for such cases with excellent results. Its affinity for bones is demonstrated by the red staining of bones in animals fed on Madder.
