Boiron Rhus Toxicodendron 30C Homeopathic Medicine for Joint Pain - 80 Pellets

Used for Poison Ivy. Itching Relief in 2days.

Effective. I refer to it as simply Rhus Tox. It is an extract of poison ivy, but don't be deterred as such it is effective and recognized by science by the term 'hormesis'. Would you believe that ideas about toxicity may have to be modified? The scientific community is excited about a relatively new area of research known as “hormesis.” The term, appropriately enough, comes from the Greek word meaning “to excite.” According to the proponents of the theory of hormesis, tiny doses of toxins in the body act in a completely different fashion from large doses and may even be beneficial! In my case I was due for arthroscopic surgery on my left knee, which I already had done for my right knee (not too successful if might add). Anyway, both knees, same doctor and MRI on both and I was informed that surgery should now be done on my left knee as well. By sheer happenstance I visited my homeopathic MD just prior to the knee operation and mentioned to him. To my astonishment he said..."Don't have the operation, let me have a crack at it." I let him examine me and he gave me Rhus Tox...less than two days later, I ceased using my cane to walk. That was about 20 years ago.... my left knee still functions well without surgery and I still take Rhus Tox to keep it that way. BTW.... as Rhus Tox is an extract of poison ivy, it is effective to those sensitive to poison oak.... the irritating chemical in both is identical. So another good use for Rhus Tox.... can be found in most health stores or Whole Foods.

I'm under treatment for my scoliosis and follow a regimen to allow my body to relax enough so the adjustment can actually work. But when the body reaccomodates, it hurts a lot for a while. This remedy has helped with the pain and I think it has make my adjustments more effective! I have improved a lot more in the past 6 days I've using it than in the last few months.

I have used both Rhus Toxicodendron and 30c Rhus Diversiloba for many years. I am extremely allergic to mosquito bites. Hydrocortisone does nothing. This works!! I must have used up fifty tubes. Additionally, it is incredible for yellow jackets. A few years ago I was crossing the parking lot at the DMV, and as I stepped over a planter, a yellow jacket suddenly flew up and stung my leg (I was in shorts). I was instantly seized by bolts of blinding pain. I also immediately had an impulse to check my pocket, and there was a tube of Rhus Tox I had put in the shorts the last time I had worn them. I put five beads under my tongue with instant relief--the pain dropped to almost nothing by the time I reached the front door of the building. I was originally clued into Rhus Tox by a my professor, Ramchandra Gandhi, grandson of Mohandas K. Gandhi, for joint pain. I subsequently discovered its other benefits. I am in general a little bit leery of the foundational science involved in homeopathy. Many formulas have done nothing for me, but some, including this one, work like a charm. Those tend to be formulas where there are allergic factors involved. The justification for using a weaker solution (30 C as opposed to 10) seems a little looney, but, looney or not, 10C does little for me, 30C works phenomenally well. I don't think the British Royal Family uses homeopathy for nothing!! Many of them drink with abandon, but live to be ancient (the smokers, like George VI and Margaret, exit early, but the rest persist).

I use it so I can be immune to poison oak. It works!

If you have low back prob especially from arthritis this will work if you do what it says. Put 5 under your tongue 3 times a day. Also get Hypernicum for nerve damage. Great products. I’ve recently been looking for more homeopathic products. Anything by Boiron will do what it says. After a week of 3 times a week it hasn’t helped you need to switch strength ( the numbers on them will be 200, 30 or 6. That’s how many times the plant has been cut in strength. So start with 200 , it’s usually enough if after a week it hasn’t helped go to 30 . Also there are4 other back remedy’s... one is called Symphytum... it’s plant nickname is nit bone... so if your pain is from a stress fracture or other bone injury you might have to try another. There is lots of info online about these medicines used by Indians,Chinese etc for hundreds of yrs. These are tiny but don’t let that fool you. Like anything else if you don’t take it like it says it won’t work. Up to you if you want to hurt.

Tried based on recommendation but did not see any difference.

Works great for leg cramps, not so great when you only receive half of your order hand have no remedy for said leg cramps.
