Characteristics EN
The Yellow Gentian is the source of the well-known "tonic" of allopathic practice. In the homoeopathic provings (by Watzke, Buchner, and others) the chief symptoms have been noted in the alimentary sphere, and among them, "ravenous hunger," as, well as "diminished appetite." It has thus some claim to be a It positive tonic," as it may cause increased appetite in the healthy. It has: dry mouth; bitter or earthy taste; nausea; vomiting; colic; diarrhoea with yellow stools (it is the yellow Gentian); rheumatic pains; sensations of constriction are marked and common.
Weakness, dull feeling, morose mood; febrile condition. The symptoms are < in the afternoon; after eating; on motion.
