Typical features
Fraxinus has had a fragmentary proving, but the chief clinical authority for its use is Doctor вurnett, who regards it as a uterine tonic in all heavy states of the uterus with prolapse, bearing-down, and relaxed ligaments. He calls it the medicinal pessary. I have repeatedly verified his indications. It is an organ-remedy of the first rank. It is also indicated in uterine tumours, especially fibroids, with bearing-down sensations.
