Bryonia Alba

Classical single remedy

worse from the slightest movement, better for firm pressure and lying still; very dry — dry mouth, great thirst for large cold drinks; irritable, wants to be left alone. (Boericke)

What it’s reached for

  • a dry hard painful cough that hurts to move.
  • a bursting headache and body aches that are worse stirring.
  • a joint that hurts more with any movement, better strapped up.

Headache — Belladonna vs. Bryonia vs. Nux Vomica vs. Gelsemium: bursting/splitting, worse from ANY motion (even moving the eyeballs), better firm pressure and lying still. Hahnemann's proving: "excessive heaviness of the head" and "giddy in the head," repeatedly worse on stooping/moving (#10, #17, #30).

Joint & Muscle Pain — Rhus Tox vs. Bryonia vs. Arnica: worse from ANY motion, better complete rest and firm pressure.

Cough — Drosera vs. Ipecacuanha vs. Antimonium Tartaricum vs. Bryonia vs. Spongia vs. Hepar Sulph: hard, dry, painful cough, worse from any movement and on coming into a warm room, the person presses a hand to the chest to brace it, very thirsty for long cold drinks.

Constipation — Nux Vomica vs. Bryonia vs. Alumina vs. Silicea vs. Lycopodium: no urge for days, stool large, hard and dry "as if burnt", with a dry mouth and dry lips.

Potency: 30C every 3–4 hours while movement is painful.
