Category: Materia Medica
Materia medica is a Latin term from the history of pharmacy for the body of collected knowledge about the therapeutic properties of any substance used for healing. The term derives from the title of a work by the Ancient Greek physician Pedanius Dioscorides in the 1st century AD. The term materia medica was used from the period of the Roman Empire until the 20th century but has now been generally replaced in medical education contexts by the term pharmacology. The term survives in the title of the British Medical Journal’s Materia Non Medica column.

Vincetoxicum (Vincetoxicum hirundinaria, Swallow Wort)
Stimulation of the body’s defense system with activation of the vessels and sympa- thetic influence. Appropriate, e.g., for febrile virus affections. Discovered empirically, the effect is ascribable to the constituents vincetoxin and asclepia acid, the former act- ing in a manner similar to aconite (monkshood), while the latter affects the vessels and sympathicus. The toxic symptoms displayed in proving are hypersalivation, regurgita- tion, diarrhea, and brief central excitation ensued by ascending paralysis of the central nervous system. This is a classic agent, employed, for example, in Mongolian medicine as an anti-febrile agent. As the name suggests, Vincetoxicum is utilized to combat toxins. Engystol® ad us. vet. Engystol® N -

Veratrum album (White Hellebore)
Acts upon the entire nervous system, both central and peripheral, for instance on the vasomotor and temperature centers via the vagus nerve. Additionally it affects the non- striated intestinal muscles. A state of collapse develops as the result of vasomotor spasm, associated with circulatory debility and disturbed peripheral circulation. Weak- ness, extremely algid extremities and cold sweat are included in this symptom picture. The irritation of the digestive mucosae (in the acute intoxication) causes gastroenteritis with salivation, regurgitation, acute and watery diarrhea of a loam-like color accompa- nied by flatulent colic and intestinal bleeding to the point of exhaustion. The animals are extremely thirsty, yet generally vomit immediately after drinking. Pulmonary con- gestion may occur with a racking paroxysmal cough and severe respiratory distress. Horses and cattle display agitation as the result of the highly excited peripheral sensory nerves; retching, accelerated peristalsis, increased frequency of defecation and urina- tion. Incessant vomiting in pigs and dogs. Aggravation by moving; amelioration at rest and in warmth. Atropinum compositum ad us. Vet Berberis-Homaccord® ad us. vet.
