Caulophyllum, "the Blue Cohosh," is closely related to Cimicifuga Racemosa Actea racem., "the Black Cohosh," in its action, though belonging to a different family of plants. It acts most markedly on the female generative organs and on rheumatic states. It has only had one proving, that by Dr. Burt, the majority of the indications having been derived from tradition and clinical experience. It has been given with success for chloasma or pityriasis versicolor, curing incidentally dysmenia at the same time. Reflex symptoms having a uterine origin.
headache. vomiting. hoarseness.
rheumatism. cramps and spasms. No other drug produces uterine spasms so markedly except Secale Cornutum Secale. Bearing-down pains. Paraplegia from disorders of the uterus.

Caul. relieved the finger pains, but caused such severe labour-like pains that it had to be discontinued for fear of causing miscarriage. The bearing-down then ceased, and the finger pains returned and continued till delivery, when they ceased for a few days. Then the lochia increased to a flooding.
passive, dark, liquid.
with great weakness and internal trembling (not visible externally).
and now the terrible finger pains returned. Afraid to give Caulo., other remedies were tried, but in vain. At last Nash gave Caulo. 200, which rapidly cleared up the whole case. Nash regards "internal trembling" as a strong characteristic when associated with the weakness.
he has cured long-continued passive haemorrhage associated with these symptoms.
