The common names of the podophyllum are American
Mandarke, European Mandarke, Indian Apple, May Apple. This plant
is found in United States. It was proved and introduced by Williamson
in 1824. The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh root and
dilution from it.
Podophyllum is especially adopted to the individuals of
bilious temperament. It effects chiefly the duodenum, small intestines,
liver, and the rectum. It should be remembered in gastro enteritis,
colicy pains, large watery bilious vomiting, with large watery jelly like
mucous stools, chronic congestions of the liver, cirrhosis prolapsus
uteri and jaundice.
