Remedy profile
Mental Symptoms
Adonis is best suitable for people who tend to be apprehensive (worried or afraid) and prone to horrible dreams (frightening dreams) and restless sleep. They generally feel waterlogged (extremely wet) and uncomfortable.
Physical Symptoms
The main symptom picture for Adonis is of heart degeneration (structural problem) , perhaps following a bout of severe influenza or rheumatic fever (inflammation of heart, blood vessel, joints). There may be pain and palpitations (irregular heartbeat) in the area around the heart. The heart rhythms may be abnormally rapid or slow and faltering (unsteady movement), possibly because of diseased valves or fatty degeneration (structural problem). Edema (an irregular accumulation of fluid in the body tissues or cavities), which develops as a result of poor circulation and is accompanied by scanty (less in amount) urine, may be treated by Adonis.
Adonis is also used to treat asthma (inflamed airways) with breathlessness, discomfort, or heart disease. Further symptoms may include headaches that move from the back of the head, around the temples (side of the head behind the eyes), to the eyes.
