Typical features
The golden-flowered Rhododendron is not much known in general medicine, but the Treasury of вotany says of it that it is narcotic in its properties and is used medicinally. Growing among the fogs and storms of the Siberian mountains; its provings (by Seidel, Wahle, Herzog, Helbig, and others) show that it produces sensitiveness to storms and weather changes; and this gives the grand keynote of its use in medicine. Rhod. disturbs all parts of the economy, producing delirium, fever, headache, neuralgias (earache, toothache), rheumatism, and inflammations, but the chief determining characteristic is that the symptoms come on or are by moving about. An intense degree of tinnitus aurium was caused by it, and this, associated with the vertigo, gives Rhod. a place in Ménière s disease. A Peculiar Symptom is: Loud sounds re-echo long in ears. Like the other Ericaceae, Rhod. has a strong effect on the kidneys, producing increased urine, with offensive smell, clear, brown red, or of greenish tinge, and, whatever colour it may be, of offensive smell. This offensive smell reappears in the axillary sweat. вut the general sweat may be aromatic in odour and not unpleasant. Formication with sweat is characteristic. Rhod. sets up diarrhoea; and also a paralytic condition of the rectum, so that an effort is required to expel a soft stool. Pains in rectum extend to genitals; and the male generative organs experience the most intense action of the drug. The scrotum shrinks; testes are retracted; or else they swell (especially at night), and are the seat of a bruised pain, as if they had been crushed violently. These pains are moving about. They may be so violent as to arrest breathing. The menses are too early and too profuse; the menses are always accompanied by fever and headache. Menses reappear soon after they have ceased. In one prover Rhod. restored the menses after six months absence. It has cured cysts in the vagina, and has caused the rupture of an ovarian cyst. сhorea of left leg, arm, and face, for an hour by chewing gum or eating. Afraid of thunder. Omits words when writing. Rhod. 16x every hour was given on May 12th. Each dose caused immediate Rising. Warmth. Wrapping up. But heat in bed. whilst and after eating and from warmth. Pain in left side by eating. Drinking cold water = pressure at stomach. General sweat .
