AILANTHUS GLANDULOSUSLiquid

Ailanthus glandulosa is a powerful and important homoeopathic medicine prepared from the flowers of Ailanthus glandulosa, commonly known as the Tree of Heaven, native to Eastern Asia and widely cultivated in North America. Belonging to the Simarubaceæ family, it exerts a profound disorganizing effect on the blood, making it highly beneficial in low-grade fevers, malignant scarlatina, diphtheria, and septic states with hemorrhagic diathesis. The medicine is especially suited for conditions marked by stupor, weakness, dark skin eruptions, and a state of general adynamia. Its action is deep and systemic, affecting the mucous membranes, skin, throat, and nervous system, making it valuable in serious and life-threatening infections and septic conditions with rapid prostration and delirium.

Common Names: Chinese Sumach, Tree of Heaven
