Rhododendron chrysanthum is a homeopathic remedy made from the flower buds and leaves of the shrub of the same name.

The plant is native to northern Asia and has golden yellow flowers.

It is mainly used to treat various forms of rheumatism and tendonitis.

It is also recommended for the relief of neuralgia.

Rheumatism

Rhododendron chrysanthum is used to treat rheumatism that occurs mainly at night and affects the small joints.

The pain usually moves from one joint to another and can be disabling.

These inflammations are often cyclical and accompanied by severe pain in windy and humid climates.

Osteoarthritis, a form of rheumatism that leads to joint deformation, is a degenerative condition.

In this disease, there is a change in the intra-articular cartilage followed by anarchic osteophyte growths of bone cells.

Rhododendron chrysanthum is also recommended for arthralgia.

This remedy can also be effective in cases of hypersensitivity to changes in atmospheric electricity.

Neuralgia

Rhododendron chrysanthum is recommended for the relief and treatment of neuralgia.

This condition is characterised by severe pain that radiates into the nerve network.

It usually affects the sciatica, intercostal nerves, facial nerve and teeth.

Anyone can be susceptible to neuralgia.

However, it is more common in adults in their 40s.

The remedy is particularly indicated when neuralgia occurs during stormy weather.
