Juglans cathartica. Butternut. (U.S.A.) N. O. Juglandaceae. Tincture of bark of root. Triturations of the resinoid Juglandin.

The Butternut and the Black Juglans Regia ^Walnut (Juglans nigra) are the American representatives of the Juglans Regia ^Walnut family. J. ciner. and Juglans Regia ^{Juglans regia}, or Nux juglans, have both been proved and studied. With both the digestion is first disordered, and with this other symptoms, as headache, occur. These run an acute course and then skin affections manifest themselves, and these run a chronic course (Clotar Willer, quoted by Hale). Before the homoeopathic provings were made Jug. c. had a reputation as a mild cathartic and was successfully used in camp diarrhoea and dysentery in the early American wars. Applied to the skin, the juice causes reddening and blistering. "The green rind rubbed on tetters and ringworms dispels them." The provings brought out the characteristics in much detail, and clinical use has still further developed them. Jug. r. has been used with much success in scrofulous and scorbutic conditions.

and both Jug. r. and Jug. c. cause dark, clotted haemorrhage. Jug. c. from the lungs and Jug. r. from the uterus. Both act on the axilla, Jug. c. causing acute pains and numbness, Jug. r. affecting skin and glands. Jug. c. has some remarkable head symptoms. Sharp shooting pain in occiput is very characteristic. There is a headache with frequent micturition and burning. It has morning headaches like Nux Vomica ^Nux, Bryonia ^Bry., Chelidonium Majus ^Chelid., and Iris Versicolor ^Iris.
