STRYCHNINUM PHOSPHORICUMLiquid

Strychninum phosphoricum is a potent homoeopathic medicine derived from the phosphate of strychnin. It exerts its primary influence through the cerebro-spinal system, with a marked action on muscular tone, circulation, and mental stability. Characterized by muscle twitching, stiffness, weakness, and progressive loss of power, it is especially suited for conditions of acute asthenia, chorea, hysteria, and anemic or degenerative spinal states. The medicine also affects the heart and pulse, producing tachycardia, irregularity, and signs of early cardiac decompensation. Particularly valuable in neurological fatigue following acute illnesses, this medicine responds well in cases worsened by motion and relieved by rest and fresh air.
