COMOCLADIA

Comocladia dentata
Guao, bastard Brazil wood.

Key Uses:

Nerve sensitivity

Skin problems, such as extreme itching, burning, inflammation, and blistering

Origin : Native to Cuba.

Background : This tree exudes a milky sap that turns black on contact with air and stains clothes and skin. It causes a violent skin reaction in people who have sensitive skins.

Preparation : The fresh leaves and bark are chopped and macerated in alcohol.

Remedy Profile : Comocladia is most appropriate for irritable people who are prone to maliciousness, gloomy behavior, and restlessness while awake. Sleep refreshes them, however, and they enjoy vivid, pleasant, and perhaps even clairvoyant dreams. The key physical symptoms associated with this remedy include nerve sensitivity and skin problems such as extreme itching, burning, inflammation, and blistering. The skin may flake or shed itself, or it may redden, possibly forming stripes. There may be ulceration or other swelling, which may be fever-related.

Symptoms Better : For open air; for scratching; for movement.

Symptoms Worse : For heat; for touch; for rest; in the evening.
