From Bryonia alba (also known as B. dioica), white, red or common bryony. The homeopathic remedy is made from the whole fresh plant. Because it affects fibrous tissues, serous membranes (membranes which secrete fluids), ligaments around joints, the broad part of tendons, and the coating of nerves, all of which can become inflamed and painful with rheumatism, Bryonia is frequently prescribed for rheumatism sufferers, especially if fever is present as well.
Constitutional Indications
The kind of person who responds to Bryonia is often of rather plodding intelligence, rubicund and well-fleshed, with a dark complexion and dark hair; he or she often gets stitching pains, and is easily angered or irritated.
