Spigelia anthelmia (Wormbush) tincture Overview

Spigelia (Demerara pinkroot) is a powerful natural anthelmintic (expel parasitic worms and other internal parasites from the body). It also exerts a powerful action on the nervous system and is known primarily in homeopathy as a medicine for left-sided face pain.
It has marked elective affinity for the eye, heart, and nervous system. Neuralgia of the fifth nerve is very prominent in its effects and is adapted to anemic, debilitated, rheumatic, and scrofulous subjects.
It also has an important role in cardiac remedy and it is a major natural drug for pericarditis*.


Constituents

General: alkaloids, tannins, saponins, steroids, phlobatannin, flavonoids, cardic-glucoside.

Pharmacology

Spigelia anthelmia (Wormbush) Spiganthine was isolated as the main cardioactive principle from medicinally used extracts of Spigelia anthelmia.
The biological effect of spiganthine is characterized by a delay in contraction development of the heart muscle.
Alkaloids from Demerara pinkroot make it an effective homeopathic drug against heart disease. Other heart problems, such as heart murmurs (abnormal heart sounds), rheumatic heart disease, angina (chest pain), and valve disorders have also been managed.
It can help relieve chest pain (angina pectoralis), especially that which extends into the chest, arms, and throat as well.



Applications

(Rheumatic) pericarditis, endocarditis, rheumatic ophthalmia and facial neuralgia.
Used in rheumatic fever, with little inflammatory swelling of the joints. Also in violent palpitations arising from mitral and aortic disease.
Spigelia has narcotic properties, and can help ease the pain associated with the eyes and teeth.
Used as a vermifuge (remedy for worms).


Dosage

Tincture: check with your homeopath or herbalist.
Infusion (herbal tea): same.


*The pericardium is a thin layer of tissue that covers the outer surfaces of the heart.
It helps to hold the heart in place; prevents excessive movement of the heart in the chest, protects the heart from infections and tumors that develop in it and may spread from adjacent tissues. It may help keeping the heart from enlarging. Inflammation of the pericardium is called pericarditis.

Precaution

As a remedy; only to be used under supervision of a homeopath or herbalist.
