Характерные особенности
Oreodaphne сal. is a tree which grows to a hundred feet in height. When bruised it emits a strong spicy odour which may cause sneezing. J. Murray Moore proved on himself and friends a tincture of the leaves and produced well-marked fronto-occipital headache by rest. The symptoms were more violent when the tincture was olfacted than when taken internally. The Med. сent. (quoted H. W., xx. 84) gives the characteristics of one of its headaches thus: Dull ache in occipital and cervical regions, extending down to scapulae; great heaviness of the head, with a constant desire to move the head, which, however, gives no relief.
