PTELEA TRIFOLIATALiquid

Ptelea trifoliata, commonly known as Wafer-Ash, is a homoeopathic medicine prepared from the bark of the tree native to North America. Belonging to the Rutaceae family, it is particularly useful in treating liver and stomach disorders, especially when associated with a heavy, aching sensation in the hepatic region. This medicine is suited to atonic conditions of the digestive system, with persistent nausea, eructations, and burning sensations in the stomach. It is also noted for its usefulness in asthmatic complaints with a sense of suffocation while lying on the back, and in individuals experiencing mental dullness and unrefreshing sleep with disturbing dreams.
