Characteristics EN
The Butternut and the Black Walnut (Juglans nigra) are the American representatives of the Walnut family. J. ciner. and Juglans regia, or Nux juglans, have both been proved and studied. With both the digestion is first disordered, and with this other symptoms, as headache, occur. These run an acute course and then skin affections manifest themselves, and these run a chronic course (Clotar Willer, quoted by Hale).
Before the homoeopathic provings were made Jug. c. had a reputation as a mild cathartic and was successfully used in camp diarrhoea and dysentery in the early American wars. Applied to the skin, the juice causes reddening and blistering. "The green rind rubbed on tetters and ringworms dispels them." The provings brought out the characteristics in much detail, and clinical use has still further developed them. Jug. r. has been used with much success in scrofulous and scorbutic conditions; and both Jug. r. and Jug. c. cause dark, clotted haemorrhage.
Jug. c. from the lungs and Jug. r. from the uterus. Both act on the axilla, Jug. c. causing acute pains and numbness, Jug. r. affecting skin and glands. Jug. c. has some remarkable head symptoms. Sharp shooting pain in occiput is very characteristic.
There is a headache with frequent micturition and burning. It has morning headaches like Nux, Bry., Chelid., and Iris; and it much resembles the last in the disturbance of the digestive organs. Pains in liver and right scapula; acute diarrhoea. It is one of the medicines which produces epigastric sinking.
This extends to the abdomen and is accompanied by headache. One patient who was taking Jug. c. for acne developed all the symptoms of angina pectoris. But the skin is the organ most of all affected by the drug. All kinds of eruptions have been caused or cured by it, including scarlatina and rodent ulcer.
There are a good many rheumatic pains in the remedy. The itching is < when overheated from exercise. Walking < chest pains; > pain from rectum to bladder.
Going up hill < or = retrosternal pain. Stooping = pain in scapula and back. Dull headache is > when getting up.
