From Anacardium orientale, the marking nut tree. The homeopathic remedy is made from cardol, a blackish juice extracted from the pith between the shell and the kernel of the nuts. The juice is used, in India and elsewhere, to mark linen and to etch away moles on the skin.
Constitutional Indications
Anacardium is highly beneficial to people who have an inferiority complex and are trying hard to prove themselves; they suffer from extreme inner conflict and have, as the saying goes, 'a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other' Children who suddenly give up studying for exams, saying they can't remember what they are reading, are candidates for Anacardium.
