Rhus tox . Rheumatism wih stiffness worse Ist motion, worse during rainy season, better when continued walking.
Bryonia . Joints are red, hot, swollen. Pain worse last motion better after rest, pressure.
The above symptoms of the above are called side effects. In homeopathy we call them proving symtpoms. When Rhus tox was given, the above symptoms (side effects) were produced.
In potentised form also, if you give rhus tox 30 for long time then above symptoms will again produce.

You can't call them side effects.They are the main effects.
A person will start proving if he takes many doses,indiscriminately,or even with a few doses,if he is really sensitive,and has the susceptibility for the medicine.
Proving in itself is not bad.Once you recognise that,you are proving a medicine,(that means the medicine is close to you),and if you stop at that stage,your health will improve.
That is why Hannemann encouraged people to prove different medicines.

homeo medicines are capable of having effects on many internal organs also,including mind.
So.pl. be cautious and don't use them indiscriminately.For acute problems,if you don't get relief within three doses,then it is not the correct medicine.Seek professional help,till you are you are sure you can handle them on your own.

Very difficult task indeed.
An acute illness is one which is self limited.It is characterised by a latent period,a period of exacerbation,and then a period of decline of symptoms,which may result either in cure or in death.
Chronic problems are those,which have a tendency of being with the patient for a long,lomg time,don't get resolved on their own,unless helped by medicine.They normally don't kill the patient,but stay with him, till his death.
These are the broad definitions.

I took two 1M doses of Rhus Tox for a constitutional remedy. I am proving the remedy somewhat. My skin feels prickly and I have a slight outbreak behind my ears. Feel anxious and am hot and cold. I took in almost a month ago. How long will the symptoms last and could it effect my overall health overall? I tried antidoting but do not think that it made a difference.

I already replied you in another post.Don't worry.Just wait it out.Your health will improve overall,once this phase is over.
So,be happy.

I suffer from a very debilitating and painful problem that neither my GP nor a hospital specialist seems able to diagnose. I live in the UK so that may explain a lot! This is controlled sometimes with conventional medicine (an NSAID) however became quite "excited" when I discovered this forum. A concerned friend gave me a small bottle of Rhus Tox to try but I wanted to research it well before trying. Google brought me here so here I am!
My problem is difficult to describe but the symptoms are as follows: Pain using most muscles esp the ones around the shoulders and hands and a very profound weakness in same. My wrists and ankles are swollen and the swelling gets worse during a bout. From what I have read so far on this forum it certainly would seem that using Rhus Tox may be beneficial. Anyone with any input or comments? Best wishes.

You have to tell us much more to be able to prescribe for you correctly.Homeopathy is highly individualistic,and a remedy that suits for one person,may not work for others,even for the same complaint,as the mental make up and modalities will be different.

You can have a reaction to anything! apparantly roughly 80% of people are allergic to poison ivy, so i'd always recommended a skin test.

I am A 49 year old female, and am battleing frozen shoulder for the second time. At present I am in the 'freezing stage' I have quite a ways to go yet. Would rhus tox help me, or would it be a waste of time with my condition? It hurts. Alot.
