  • Veronica – Fluellein/Paul’s Betony

    The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts in flower of Veronica of- ficinalis L.. N.O. Scrophulariaceae.

    Veronica contains a glycoside, aucubin, and essential oil, tannins and bitter princi- ples and is used mainly as a mild expectorant in chronic and acute bronchial catarrhs with coughing, and especially in catarrhs of a tubercular aetiology, such as those which accompany enlargement of the hilar glands.

    In tubercular children, skin conditions such as chronic eczema and dermatoses are often found, and Veronica is also a remedy for these. Such children also fre- quently suffer from intercurrent coryza (running nose), which should be regarded as

    excretion of homotoxins and must not be suppressed under any circumstances. This serous rhinitis also responds to Veronica.

    Thus Veronica is found mostly in combination-remedies which are aimed at the symptoms of tuberculosis and glandular swelling, and at catarrhal conditions.

    A proving of this substance was conducted in the fall and winter of 1993 by     Dr. David Riley.

    Congruent symptoms with Dr. Reckeweg:

    • persistent bronchial coughing
    • coryza
