| Symphytum stimulates the metabolism of the bones, connective tissue, and neural tis- sue. Proving evokes an initial rise in reflex excitability, ensued by reduction of respon- siveness and muscle tone. It promotes callus formation ensuing fractures, particularly those sustained in the long, tubular bones and elevates ostalgia (pain of the bone or periost). It helps in dissolving traumatic exostosis and exerts a positive influence on the granulation and epithelization of poorly-healing wounds due to Allantoin content. Symphytum is for the bones what Arnica is for the soft tissues and Hypericum is for the nerves. |
