Pharmacology

Medicinal Use

The root is said to be one of the best diuretics and an excellent remedy for gravel as well as all other obstructions and disorders of the urinary passage. An extract pressed from the root pulp is mixed with alcohol into an extremely dilute solution. Bryonia is used to treat coughs, flu, violent headaches, and other acute conditions that develop slowly, with pain on the slightest movement. This remedy is also effective for inflammation in the lining of the joints, chest, and abdomen, and is given for osteoarthritis, and rheumatism with joints that are painfully hot and swollen. Other ailments helped by this remedy include: pneumonia and pleurisy with severe chest pain near the rib cage; constipation; and colic. Symptoms include stabbing pain, a heavy feeling in the eyelids, excessive sweating, and a constricted throat.
