Details
Bryonia has traditionally been used for the symptomatic relief of hard, dry coughs with pain under the sternum aggravated by coughing and any movement, even breathing deeply. It also has traditionally been used for headaches, abdominal pains or joint pains which are worse from movement.
Bryonia is less rapid in its action than Aconite, but goes deeper in its effects, often taking up where Aconite leaves off. Dominant characteristics of Bryonia are dryness of mucous and serous membranes, pain aggravated by any movement and physical weakness. Used in home prescribing for dry coughs, dry mucous membranes, colic and joint pains. The person wants to be left alone and is very thirsty for warm drinks.
