CEDRONLiquid

Simaba cedron, a notable homoeopathic medicine, is prepared from the tincture of the seeds of the Cedron plant, belonging to the Simarubaceae family. It is known for its precise periodicity and marked action on the nervous system, especially in cases of neuralgia, intermittent fever, and post-coital complaints. It is especially suited to conditions with sharp pains, spasmodic tendencies, disturbed sleep, and emotional excitability followed by depression. Cedron acts prominently in periodic neuralgic affections, febrile states, and symptoms that regularly recur at fixed times.
