Indications

Bryonia is traditionally associated with inflammation of all serous membranes — including pleuritis and polyarthritis — and with inflammatory rheumatism marked by violent, stabbing pains. A hallmark of the remedy is that complaints, mainly on the right side, are worse for the slightest movement, for anger and after eating, but are relieved by rest, by firm pressure and by lying on the affected side. It is further linked with enlargement of the liver, with a dry, white-coated tongue and great thirst (characteristically for cold water or beer), and with constipation with dry, dark stools. Its dryness runs through the picture, connecting it with the serous and mucous membranes throughout the body.

About the remedy

Bryonia-Injeel S is a single-remedy homeopathic preparation from Heel's antihomotoxic Injeel range, containing potentised Bryonia cretica (white bryony), a climbing plant of the gourd family (Cucurbitaceae). Long established in homeopathy, Bryonia is one of the classic remedies for dry, painful inflammatory states of the serous membranes and joints in which every movement aggravates the complaint.

Composition

Each 1.1 ml ampoule contains: Bryonia cretica D12, D30, D200, D1000 — 0.275 ml each.
