Vaccinium Myrtillus
By John Henry Clarke â A Dictionary of Practical Materia Medica
Whortleberry. Bilberry. N. O. VacciniaceÊ. Tincture of fresh berries.
Clinical
DiarrhÅa / Dysentery
Characteristics
My attention was first drawn to this remedy by Dr. A. H. Croucher in an article published in the HomÅopathic Review many years ago, giving cases of inveterate diarrhÅa cured by it. This experience I have repeatedly confirmed. I have always used it in the à tincture, generally giving 5-drop doses every four hours. It is especially applicable to vaccinal, malarial, and dysenteric cases. Whortleberry is a close relative of Cranberry, and the natural order is allied to the EricaceÊ. It is a native of heathy and swampy mountainous regions.
