Introduction

I don’t know much about this one, but, the Eclectic Physicians had some interesting things to say about it, “The wild rosemary has been used with success in gouty pains about the small joints, as those of the fingers and toes.” Anybody with finger pain should look into this one!

Notes from the Eclectic Physicians

1898; Webster; (Articulations)
The wild rosemary has been used with success in gouty pains about the small joints, as those of the fingers and toes. A few drops of the homeopathic tincture in four ounces of water, dose a teaspoonful, may be tried in persistent cases of this kind. It is hardly probable that it can equal caulophyllin in such cases.
