Clarke

Tradescantia suits gonorrhea-like genito-urinary affections with urethral discharge, orchitis, and painful urination, combined with embarrassed and painful respiration as if air is insufficient. The genito-urinary and respiratory systems are the primary sites of action.

Key symptoms

  • Whitish urethral discharge with painful urination and thin stream
  • Scrotum inflamed, painful, and red (orchitis)
  • Urine acid-smelling, yellowish, copious, with ash-colored sediment
  • Breathing very painful, embarrassed, difficult, and sighing as from want of air
  • Pain in left side of chest
  • Diarrhea; vertigo
