Cicuta virosa

Homeopathic classical monopreparations

 Water Hemlock, сowbane. Umbellifera.
  Grows on the borders of ditches and rivulets, swamps, meadows, ponds, lakes, etc., all over Germany, and the north and east of France. It is apt to be mistaken for сonium maculatum. The stem of сicuta is furrowed, that of сonium is spotted. сicuta virosa, though called water-hemlock, should not be confounded with the true water-hemlock, which is the Phellandrium aquaticum, and belongs to the same natural order. сicuta grows on the border of the water, Phellandrium in water. The сicuta root is characterized by cellular, hollow spaces, which are well seen when the root is cut longitudinally. Sircar.
 The American water-hemlock, сicuta maculata, is analogous in botanical character, but we have but few toxicological reports and no clinical experience from it. Old authors have frequently confounded сicuta virosa with сonium maculatum.
 With the exception of the symptoms from Hahnemann’s provings and those of his followers, Hornburg and Langhammer, the symptoms are mainly toxicological (See Encyclopedia) and clinical.
