If given in hot water its effects are noticeably quicker, and its influence on the circulation more rapid and complete. In hysteria and for insomnia it is valuable, as well as in convalescence from many acute cases. It should be used at short intervals to maintain its cumulative force. With helonias dioica, aletris farinosa or mitchella repens it is an excellent nervine tonic for females, especially where there is a tendency to excessive flow and is useful more or less during pregnancy, especially to those who are weakly, anaemic and nervous. This is a good tonic for a relaxed and debilitated stomach, water brash, anaemic dyspepsia and chronic enteralgia. [Physio-Medical Therapeutics, Materia Medica and Pharmacy BY T. J. LYLE, A.M.M.D.]
