Hemlock is a very interesting, ubiquitous plant with a controversial reputation. This herb has long been used for medicinal purposes, widely known for its healing properties. However, it's not a secret for anyone that hemlock is poisonous and requires the most accurate dosage. Therefore, you need to use it very carefully. Let's discuss what hemlock looks like, how you can be treated with it. We will separately touch upon contraindications for use. The material is provided with photographs of hemlock leaves and fruits, so that even an inexperienced herbalist cannot be mistaken.
Botanical description of the plant, its distribution area
Hemlock is a wild herb that has a two-year life cycle. In the first year, it does not form reproductive organs and does not form a long stem. The aerial part is represented by a lush rosette of basal leaves. Flowering occurs in the second year, usually in mid-July. Many white thyroid inflorescences are formed. Fruits are tied not earlier than August. The plant belongs to the umbrella family. Reaches a height of more than 1.5 m, under favorable conditions it can grow taller than human growth.
The leaves of the plant are strongly dissected, openwork, resembling carrots. The lower leaf plates can reach a length of up to 50 cm. Fruits are typical for umbellates, round or ovoid, slightly compressed from the sides, brown, about 3 mm long. The stem is smooth, hollow. Spotted or speckled hemlock is ubiquitous. It is so named because it has characteristic reddish-brown spots on the stem. Hemlock exudes a peculiar unpleasant odor.
Hemlock has an unpleasant odor
The distribution area of this plant is quite wide. It grows along roads, in landfills, along river banks, on forest edges, wastelands, vegetable gardens, etc. In nature, it is found almost throughout Europe, in the Asian region with a temperate climate, in China, almost throughout Russia, incl. in the Caucasus and Western Siberia.
Hemlock is able to grow almost everywhere where winter temperatures do not drop below -30 C ° and there is snow cover for a biennial plant to overwinter successfully. In areas rich in nutrients, for example, near livestock farms where there is a lot of manure, hemlock grows quite violently. Prefers a moisture-consuming, not waterlogged substrate and well-lit areas.
Important! Hemlock has a number of popular names, these are: puzzle, poisonous umbrella, stinker, omega, tar, clubs, etc.
Hemlock application
Hemlock treatment has a very ancient history. There is evidence that for the first time small doses of drugs based on this plant were proposed by Hippocrates. Interest in hemlock treatment methods waned and then increased again. Now, when phytotherapy is on the rise in our country, this plant has not been forgotten either. Hemlock-based patented drugs have emerged, although they are most widely used in homeopathy.
The properties of hemlock are most valuable in the treatment of tumors, including cancerous ones. The powerful plant alkaloid canin, found in the organs of the plant, acts as an antigen. It triggers immune responses that normally cannot occur in the human body. In the blood, special antibodies of a protein nature are formed, which, when decaying, inhibit cancer cells.
Hemlock is used to treat various diseases
Several schemes for receiving hemlock are popular, among them the methods developed by the following specialists have found the most widespread use:
- Tishchenko V.V. (royal).
- Danikov N.I.
- Nikoforov Yu.V.
Therapeutic doses of drugs prepared on the basis of the leaves, seeds or stems of hemlock are used to achieve the following medicinal effects:
- pain relief;
- wound healing;
- improving immunity;
- fight against tumors of various etiologies;
- treatment of chronic infectious disorders;
- tranquility;
- disinfection;
- improving the work of the vascular system;
- elimination of failures of hematopoietic activity.
It is recommended to prepare an alcoholic tincture; you can use vodka for these purposes. Since the vegetable alkaloids and fatty oils contained in hemlock dissolve better in ethyl alcohol. In addition, the aqueous tincture is stored for only a few days. While an alcohol-based drug can be stored in the refrigerator for at least 1 year, and often much longer.
Advice. When treating tumors using a hemlock, you can prepare a tincture on a good homemade moonshine. Since it is believed that microscopic doses of fusel oils help to get rid of malignant neoplasms.
Collecting hemlock raw materials should be taken with care. Since the plant contains a huge amount of essential oils, its buds have a strong odor. When collecting, headaches and ailments may occur. To avoid such troubles, you need to approach the plants from the leeward side.
Contraindications to the use of hemlock
In no case should we forget that hemlock is a neuroparalytic poison. The strongest alkaloids in the composition of the plant, when the dose is exceeded, can cause poisoning.
Hemlock should not be used to treat children
The primary signs of an overdose are:
- irritability;
- increased blood pressure and heart rate;
- tremor;
- nausea;
- speech impairment;
- dilated pupils;
- pale skin.
In case of poisoning, an urgent need to go to the hospital. Where, in a hospital, qualified assistance will be provided. Otherwise, paralysis, convulsions, respiratory failure, loss of skin sensitivity are possible.
Important! Even in ancient Greece, hemlock was used as an effective medicine. However, at the same time it was used as a poison for the execution of dangerous criminals.
Often people do not believe in the effectiveness of herbal treatment, treat such drugs as weak. But in the case of hemlock, one must not forget that its chemical composition contains toxic substances. Contraindications for use:
- Pregnancy and lactation.
- Elderly age.
- Immune system disorders.
- General exhaustion.
- Postoperative period.
- Liver disease.
Remember that hemlock is poisonous, it should only be taken under the supervision of a doctor.
Also, most doctors agree that giving hemlock to children is very dangerous. Here one should adhere to the statement “do no harm”. In addition, you need to understand that in the treatment of cancer, it is always necessary to consult a doctor. Since hemlock tincture can cause sometimes unpredictable immune reactions, the specialist should be aware of taking the drug. What's more, hemlock can interfere with the effectiveness of chemical or radiation therapy. It is extremely important to consult with your doctor about all the drugs that the patient intends to take.
Hemlock, like many other poisonous plants, is capable of healing the human body. By launching complex processes, accelerating the heart rate, increasing blood pressure, this plant is healing. But it is very important not to forget that this is poison. Collect, prepare and take tinctures should be extremely careful, dosed, without deviating from the chosen treatment regimen.

Shavkaron, referred to in Asian clinics, is poisonous, hemlock (Conium maculatum), nature is provided with a warning sign - the smell of mouse urine, so that animals, eating hemlock greens, do not get poisoned. After the grass of the hemlock dries up, all the poison accumulates in its seeds, and the rest of the poison evaporates due to the coldness of the hemlock's nature. Hemlock is a dry cold plant to the fourth degree, therefore, in the flowering phase, it becomes a more dangerous poison, as it dries in a special way, all the poison accumulates in the fruits. Due to the toxicity, its fruits are so thickened, they become hard like stones. Therefore, a medicine is prepared from hemlock twice: from freshly squeezed plant juices during flowering and from the powder of ripe fruits collected in late autumn.
I usually collect hemlock during flowering in five and eight liter thermos. At the bottom of the thermos I pour about a liter of fifty percent alcohol, mixed in a quarter of grape vinegar and a tenth of refined aviation kerosene. And I leave one small thermos without the mixture, adding more alcohol than other thermos, for using this juice in homeopathy. I wear safety glasses and surgical gloves. With sharpened scissors, I chop the upper part of the hemlock in place and fill the thermos flasks, leaving the sixth part of the thermos empty.
By the way, I also collect flowers, leaves and herbs of Dzungarian and Issyk-Kul aconite, thus, in metal thermoses. Only in contrast to the hemlock, the rhizome of aconite can be collected simultaneously into separate canvas bags, along with the grass, due to the difficult accessibility of the location of the aconite. For many more years, aconite roots are always suitable for collection. The roots of Aconite of the Dzhungar and Issyk-Kul also collect poisons from the plant for many years and become completely heavy and dense, it is not so easy to grind them. Because of their density, the local population called the roots of Aconite "uuv-qu'rg'oshin" - poisonous tin.
I collect hemlock seeds like other seeds, the difference is that hemlock seeds do not require drying, like seeds of other plants. Only they need to be cleaned from foreign mixtures, and crushed for several days and filled with pure medical alcohol, and mature grape vinegar and refined aviation kerosene are added only after forty days for use in allopathy. Hemlock seeds, too, insist wide-necked tightly closing in thermoses, so that it is easier to shake or mix at times. I do not filter them, how long they are infused, so much of their tinctures become dense and strong. I use all poisons in micro doses in complex balms and homeopathic dilutions.
I treat cold diseases with homeopathic dilutions of hemlock according to the law of similarity, and hot diseases I treat with skillfully prepared preparations from hemlock according to the law of opposite. Homeopathy is not material medicine - it heals in the subtle non-material plane cases of similarity originating in its own kind, and allopathy is material medicine - it heals in the gross material plane, originating outside its opposite kind of disease.
This is how the term proposed by the father of homeopathy, Hahnemann, is translated allopathy - allos - another, pathos - a disease, that is, a disease caused by the opposite cause. And homeopathy is a similar disease. Homeopathy treats cold with cold and extinguishes fire with fire, and allopathy heals the same cold with heat, and removes heat with a cold substance. Although Hahnemann assumed so, in fact modern medicine is far from the concept of allopathy. Hahnemann was well acquainted with the medical Canon of Avicenna, therefore he invented the homeopathic canons. He, like Avicenna, tested his medicines on people, not on animals, on the advice of Avicenna.
Modern doctors, due to not understanding the laws of allopathy (the nature of diseases and drugs), treat people as if in the dark, not distinguishing cold from heat and dryness from humidity. As a result of this, medicinal diseases arise all around at every step. Many people know how allopathy works, and in order to understand how homeopathy works, you have to learn a lot, the special rules of the nature of the subtle invisible world. Therefore, even prominent scientists find it difficult to understand the homeopathic secrets of influence.
The excessive coldness of hemlock equals the coldness of snake venoms, and makes it almost unusable, the use of its preparations in material doses. Hemlock is by nature like aconite or chilibuha a homeopathic remedy.
It works miracles in homeopathic dilutions and cures many diseases and is God's gift to mankind. In allopathic doses, it is very rare to find diseases that resist to the sheer coldness of hemlock. Therefore, using hemlock preparations in material doses without admixture of correcting toxic effects by reducing its toxicity is not advisable and insane. All the words allegedly someone was treated with juice or infusion of hemlock is the purest lie.
In material doses in a very short time, hemlock causes the conditions that it treats, and the patient becomes much worse. Hemlock preparations cause malignant tumors in people of a cold nature, and benign tumors in people of a hot nature, and do not cure their tumors. Only by adding to it a certain amount of kerosene and fruit vinegar does it make few people suitable for the treatment of a high degree of hot nature disease in people.
Even then, people with a cold nature cannot think about using hemlock or similar drugs, it is so harmful to them. Even the external use of aconite and hemlock to people of a cold, even black bilious nature is dangerous. And homeopathic dilutions of hemlock precisely for people of a cold nature help them well for the treatment of cancer and mental illnesses. Hemlock homeopathic medicines have dozens of times wider range of action than in allopathy and do not cause absolute harm.
About this, when I talked about the actions of natrium muriaticum - about table salt, those who carefully read the article "Salt heals and cripples", of course, understood some of the subtleties of homeopathy.
And about the allopathic use of a hemlock to people who do not understand the nature of a person and the nature of medicines is deadly for patients. Therefore, such articles will be sent in the form of mailing only to certain people. It is a crime to publish them en masse.
Now I will tell you a little about the effects of Conium, a homeopathic preparation of hemlock, on the human body. Usually I use homeopathic dilutions of Conium for preparation, nothing is mixed pure juice from greens or tincture from hemlock seeds, by shaking I prepare different dilutions from them from one hundredth part to a billionth parts obtained from one drop.
Conium acts on the lymphatic system, on the secretory glands, on the nervous system of the brain, partly on the spinal cord, and belongs to anti-cancer agents and an indicator of tumor processes in diagnosis.

After Hahnemann, James Tyler Kent is the second authority figure in the eyes of modern homeopaths. Every homeopath uses his homeopathic reporterium as a reference book. Even some homeopaths so often refer to this huge book, they know its contents almost by heart.
Professor Materia Medica of the Hahnemann College of Medicine in Chicago, physician and author of several eminent works on homeopathy, Kent was born on March 31, 1840, in present-day New York. Kent's acquaintance with homeopathy happened when he was about forty years old. His first wife was seriously ill. For a long time she suffered from insomnia. And being Kent himself a doctor of that time, he could not help her in any way. This led Kenta to seek help from the renowned homeopath Phelan, who lived next door to him. Phelan gave Kent some grains of homeopathic sugar. He ordered to dilute in a bottle of water and give a teaspoon every quarter of an hour until she falls asleep. Hearing this, Kent only laughed to himself, but followed the instructions of the homeopath. He gave his wife one teaspoon and set to work on his desk. When I remembered that I had to give the next dose, much more time passed. He turned to his wife and found her fast asleep. She was no longer bothered by insomnia. And from that day on, Kent began to study homeopathy with passion, later abandoned medical practice and became a genius homeopath.
Kent described the action of Conium in great detail. Kent writes:
Conium is a deep and long-acting antipsoric agent, the condition caused by it goes very far and lasts a very long time ... Complaints arise from hypothermia, while the glands and lymph nodes of the whole body are affected. Compaction and soreness of glands and lymph nodes from the slightest hypothermia. With deep-seated diseases, infiltration in the area of ulcers and in areas of inflammation; as a result of compaction, a number of lymph nodes along the lymph outflow turn into a knotted chain. Inflammation and ulceration of axillary lymph nodes. Swollen lymph nodes in the neck, groin, abdominal cavity. Lump in areas of ulceration. A breast abscess is surrounded by lumps and nodules. Breast nodules even outside lactation; lumps and nodules, lumps and enlargement of subcutaneous lymph nodes throughout the body. Conium is widely used in malignant lesions of the glands and lymph nodes, since it affects them from the moment of infiltration and ending with a gradual compaction to a stony density, as in skirr. The next most important feature of Conium is its effect on the nerves. A state of weakened nerves. Tremors, muscle twitching and muscle contractions from weak nerves. Any physical effort is exhausting. Gradually increasing paralytic weakness. Physical and mental exhaustion, that is, a general slowdown in all body functions. Liver induration, lethargy, enlargement. Because of weakness, the bladder can only expel a portion of the urine. Sometimes it is a paralytic state and a lack of banishing power. Thus Conium corresponds to progressive paralytic weakness.
Hysteria... Hypochondriacal condition with nervousness, tremors and muscle weakness. At first, this is fatigue, later paralysis of the limbs develops.
Most of the complaints are not accompanied by pain. Ulcers and paralytic conditions are not painful. Significant physical and mental weakness; pronounced loss of muscle strength; exhaustion, weakness with tremors. Paralysis of the legs and hip region. Mental, nervous symptoms, trembling in widows and widowers who have suddenly lost their sexual relationship. As a result of such a sudden deprivation, a rather energetic woman or man falls into a state of trembling, weakness, unable to make a mental effort or concentrate on the words of others. This is more pronounced and typical for men than for women. If such a condition occurs in a woman with increased sexual activity, severe congestive hyperemia of the uterus and ovaries is possible, and then Apis is more suitable for her symptoms than Conium. But in hysteria and excitability, Conium is often indicated. Many of its symptoms arise precisely in connection with the indicated cause.
Due to the deep action of Conium, gradually developing dementia corresponds. The mind starts to fail. At first, this fatigue is similar to muscle fatigue. Failure to make a mental effort. Weak memory. Inability to concentrate, focus attention, inability to think, as a result dementia develops. Mental intolerance and inability to concentrate on anything are very important symptoms of Conium. Periodic mental disorders. However, dementia is more common. Studying mental states, you see symptoms that can be regarded as delusions, but this is not entirely true. It is a slowly progressive weakness of the mind; not a fast, active condition accompanying fever; it is delirium without fever, fickle. Passive forms of mental illness. Slowness of thought that persists for weeks and months, if recovery is possible at all. Patients with more and less active manifestations, an active mental state are more consistent with Bell, Hyos, Stram and Ars. You will not see this at Conium. His mental state develops so gradually that family members do not notice him. Gradually, step by step, strange features appear in the psyche, and, evaluating many actions and words of the patient, family members will think that he is developing a mental disorder, but in fact it is dementia. Conium is slow, passive. Complete indifference; not interested in anything, especially when talking outdoors. “Aversion to being among people, to talking with others; the tendency to cling to someone and offend. " Of course, this is a sign of mental illness. “Sadness and despondency. A pronounced feeling of unhappiness that occurs every fourteen days, ”which indicates a frequency of once every two weeks. The Conium patient is depressed and depressed in a corner, and the only reason for this is that he is sad. A hypochondriac with numerous whims and quirks; others are trying to get him out of this state, but the more attempts they make, the sadder he becomes. Gloomy, grumpy, annoyed. Everything causes annoyance and displeasure. Intolerance is no excitement, as it gives rise to physical and mental discomfort, weakness and sadness. Sometimes the symptoms of Conium can be found in people suffering from grief; their memory becomes weak. This happens first. They forget everything, they cannot remember everything as they could before. Weakness gradually increases, up to dementia. If the disease affects the psyche, it leads to dementia; if it takes on a physical character, then it ends in paralysis, often with general paralytic weakness, physical and mental weakness progresses simultaneously, until there are obvious symptoms of progressive paralysis; another option is progressive dementia, when the physical condition remains practically unchanged. In such cases, over time, the physical body and psyche seem to separate. If, under the influence of homeopathic treatment, there is a physical improvement and a mental deterioration, such a patient will no longer be cured. There are such cases. It is always bad if, against the background of physical improvement, the mental state worsens even a little. This is not a drug-induced aggravation. Lack of mental improvement is a sign that the patient is worse off. The best evidence of a drug's good action is mental improvement.
Conium patients cannot even tolerate light alcoholic beverages. Any wine or stimulant drink produces tremors, agitation, mental weakness and loss of energy. Multiple headaches. Headaches also appear with a general deterioration. Stitching, tearing headaches; throbbing in the head. Symptoms preceding brain dysfunction. Neuralgia.
Muscle weakness... Weakness of muscles on one side of the face. Tingling pains. It simply corresponds to an overall worsening of the condition. There is no talk of prescribing Conium in case of sudden severe cerebral hyperemia or sudden severe attacks of pain in the head, face or eyes; it is indicated for pain accompanying the general progression of the disease. Stitching, stabbing pains along the nerves in the face, eyes and head. Stitching pain in crown. Burning in crown. Often the symptoms will prompt the homeopath to conduct a physical examination. But far more important than this are the symptoms that indicate the remedy.
Excitement, excitement causes headaches. One of the typical symptoms of Conium is scalp numbness. This is a common feature: numbness is felt in the area of malaise, numbness with pain, very often numbness against a background of weakness. Paralytic conditions are accompanied by numbness. Headaches with nausea and inability to urinate. Severe dizziness. Everything in the room seems to be spinning. A feeling of confusion in the head. Often the patient sits deep in thought. Dizziness and pressure in the head, without change in pulse. Vertigo from bending forward. Intoxication from the lightest alcoholic beverage. Vertigo on turning the head, like turning in a circle; when getting up from a place; worse lying down, as if the bed were turning in a circle; when turning in bed or looking around. The vertigo most characteristic of Conium occurs when lying in bed on turning the eyes, rolling the eyes. This is partly ... not only the dizziness itself, but a general slowdown in the work of the muscles. Paresis or muscle weakness throughout the body also affects the eyes. Weakness of all muscles of the eye, due to which, when looking at moving objects, the patient Conium has headaches with nausea, visual and intellectual impairment. Traveling by car, observing fast-moving objects and the inability to quickly focus vision, that is, delayed accommodation, is the cause of many ailments. The patient cannot follow moving objects with his eyes, this causes a headache. “Objects appear red, rainbow colored, striped, jumbled spots; diplopia; weakness of vision. Myopia; with prolonged reading, the letters merge. " This is all due to the violation of accommodation. “The eye sluggishly adjusts to different focal lengths. Vision becomes blurry, irritability occurs. Weakness and sensation of blindness, at the same time with dizziness. Aversion to light, photophobia without eye inflammation. " The pupil does not react well to changes in light, and the patient suffers from this. Intense photophobia and lacrimation. Photophobia without hyperemia of the external or internal tissues of the eye. The pupils are sometimes narrowed, sometimes dilated. Conium has cured corneal ulcers. "Burning eyes when reading." Shooting, cutting, burning pain in the eyes. Thickening, thickening of the eyelids, heaviness and drooping of the eyelids. It is very difficult to lift them. Thus, the paralysis spreads to all the muscles of the body and also affects the psyche. “He can hardly lift his eyelids, it seems that a heavy load is pressing on them. Burning sensation over the entire surface of the eyelids; barley; paralysis of the eye muscles ". There is a pronounced swelling of the glands, lymph nodes in the face, ear and under the lower jaw. Swelling and induration of parotid glands. Gradual hardening of the submandibular and sublingual glands. Swollen lymph nodes on one side of the neck with cancer. Conium has cured epithelioma of the eyelid, nose and cheek. Ulcers in the lip, indurated. Deep under the ulcer, compaction occurs, and along the course of the lymphatic vessels draining the area of the ulcer, a chain of nodules is revealed.
Paresis turns into paralysis of the esophagus; difficulty swallowing; food travels only half way down and stops. Food stops, without passing the cardiac sphincter, enters the stomach with great difficulty. “Strange ascending in the throat, with a feeling of congestion, as if something was being deposited in it. Feeling of fullness in the throat, as if from a lump, with involuntary swallowing movements. Congestion in the throat, with suppressed eructations. The pressure in the esophagus is as if something round is rising. " This is a nervous lesion inherent in nervous women - globus histericus. When a woman has tears, she chokes and chokes, there is a similar sensation of a lump in her throat. Nervousness, loose constitution, life weariness; there seems to be nothing in the future but illness and sadness, paralysis or dementia. At the moments of clarification, patients cry, the enlargement of the lymph nodes and weakness are upset, they feel a lump in the throat.
Multiple stomach ailments; ulceration of the stomach; stomach cancer. Conium is one of the best palliative remedies for gastric symptoms when there is a general similarity. It relieves the cancer for a while, but then the malaise returns, because if the symptoms have gone far enough to indicate the need for Conium, it is difficult to hope for a cure.
The abdomen is tense, very sensitive. Pinching, stitching, convulsive, cutting, squeezing pains. Pressing downward sensation in abdomen in women, as from prolapsed uterus. Constipation is more common than diarrhea, accompanied by sterile urges, hard stools, rectal paralysis. Inability to push during defecation, inability to expel the contents due to paralytic weakness of all muscles involved in defecation. Pulsating and empty feeling in the abdomen after a normal bowel movement. A woman strains during bowel movements, so that the uterus protrudes from the vagina. After each stool, weakness with trembling and palpitations. Urination is stopped and then resumed. The patient becomes tired of straining to expel urine, and urination ceases. The stream of urine is interrupted and resumes without any pressure, this happens two or three times during urination. Irregular muscle work when urinating. “Intermittent urination, followed by cramps. The urine is cloudy after standing. "
Sexual weakness in a man; impotence. Impotence can be accompanied by a strong sexual desire. “High sex drive with partial or complete absence of erection. Dreamless wet dreams. Painful emission and painful ejaculation. " Catarrhal condition of seminal vesicles, accompanied by soreness, therefore, during ejaculation, there is a cramps, as if the semen is acrid. Adverse effects of sexual desire in widowers and people accustomed to regular sex life. Sexual weakness. Insufficient and short erection, weakness after the introduction of the penis. Swelling and induration of the testes. " The hardening of the testicles develops gradually. “Discharge from the urethra with a change of mood, with voluptuous thoughts, or with a bowel movement; accompanied by itching of the foreskin. " Thus, we observe a strange combination of increased irritability of the bladder neck, genitals, prostate gland, with weakness and impotence. Remember that men have a hardened and enlarged testes; in women - induration and enlargement of the ovaries and uterus. "Cramping of the uterus with too early and scanty menses." Soreness in the abdomen in early pregnancy, movement of the baby causes pain. Burning, stinging and tearing pains in the cervix. One of the most severe malignant lesions in women is cervical cancer. Of all known malignant tumors, it is most difficult to detect. It develops the fastest, but Conium is one of the agents that reduce the associated inflammation and bleeding. Conium - Conforms to induration and infiltration of the cervix.
Labored breathing. Almost constant dry cough, worse lying in bed. Cough soon after lying down. He has to sit up and clear his throat. The cough comes on from taking a deep breath. These are the main features of the Conium cough. Violent stitching pains in chest. Painful swelling of the mammary glands. Tearing, tearing pains in the chest.
Back: most pronounced weakness, slight chest pain. Cutting pains were noted. "Painful consequences of bruises and blows to the spine." After injuries, especially in the lumbar region, pain and swelling of the veins of the lower extremities. Rheumatic pain; paralysis of the lower extremities; ulceration. The ailments or general condition improves when the limbs hang down. Conium is different from most medicines. Quite typical, when sharp dull pains are relieved, if you put your feet on a chair, on an elevation, lift them up, lying in bed. However, a patient with rheumatism, ulceration of the legs and other lesions of the legs lies down and hangs his legs up to the knee from the bed. An explanation must be found for this, so that prescriptions can be based on ideas about pathology. But so far, no explanation has been found. Staggering gait in middle-aged men.
Another important feature of Conium is profuse perspiration during sleep. Sometimes the patient says that as soon as he closed his eyes, he starts to sweat. Indeed, getting ready for sleep and closing his eyes, the patient begins to sweat profusely. Due to the pronounced compaction and infiltration of inflamed tissues, which is inherent in Conium, stenoses often form in areas of former inflammation. Urethral stricture and stenosis of the pharynx were cured with Conium.
I must admit that I have never encountered a hemlock live, although I have been asked more than once about it: does it grow where? The fact is that it is considered a very effective anti-cancer agent.
As I understand it, something like phytochemotherapy, for one of the most poisonous plants in Russia. The lethal dose is 5 g of dry seeds. Other parts are less toxic, but not much. 300 grams of grass, again dry, kills a horse.
It is impossible to say unequivocally that hemlock has grown among parsley. Umbelliferae are very poorly recognized by their colors. It is necessary to look at the whole plant.
The most characteristic sign of hemlock is a very unpleasant odor, "it smells like mice", as they say .. Further - the size, it is a very large grass, 90-150 cm in bloom. It has a smooth stem covered with reddish spots below.
Well, as I said, this is not a mass plant.
There are two plants very similar to hemlock: the most common forest bush, Anthriscus sylvestris, in the rosette stage, as N. Zamyatin writes, is indistinguishable from hemlock by eye. But its flower stem is furrowed, the smell is typically umbrella-carrot, it is an edible plant. Everywhere along the Upper Volga, it grows just everywhere. Sometimes it appears in vegetable gardens, although it cannot be called a dangerous weed. There is a possibility that his seeds accidentally got into the garden with parsley.
Less common, but still found Chaerophyllum butenes, different species. The tuberous bush, familiar to me, has an even stem with reddish specks at the bottom, but the spotted part is covered with a light down, and the size is rather modest. An interesting thickened spine-shaped spindle.
Despite the fact that there are toxic substances in butnyas, no poisoning has been recorded with them, and the species Chaerophyllum temulum is included in the Armenian cuisine and is even sold in bazaars, incl. and in Kostroma, canned.
But with the hairy Chaerophyllum hirsutum, I fed animals sensitive to poisons like rabbits. without consequences, as you understood, otherwise I would not brag.
The seeds of all these plants, and hemlock too, could get to the garden from the surrounding nature, if they are there, which is most likely.
But the fact that they were collected and packaged at the enterprise is less likely. Especially in terms of the hemlock. It is very different from parsley. It is hard to imagine that somewhere such a mess can be going on (in China, perhaps, only from Aliexpress our "gatsiendadores" were not sent instead of the ordered!)
There are cultures similar to parsley, but they are relatively uncommon: chervil (it is also one-year-old), cilantro, cumin ...
I just don't want to think that hemlock is being sold under the guise of parsley! It's a painfully grim situation, really ...

The next day, at the same time - 2 drops, and so, daily increase the dosage to 40 drops. After, there is a countdown, daily reducing 1 drop to zero, that is, according to the scheme 1-40-1. This is the most gentle technique. In case of oncological diseases, 2-3 such courses are done in a row, it is possible with a break of several days (1-7). Subsequently, for prevention, do 1–2 courses in 6–8 months, and so on up to 2 years, that is, until complete recovery.
Method No. 2 On the first day, take 1 drop (morning, afternoon and evening), on the second day - 2 drops (morning, afternoon and evening) and so increase the dosage to 40 drops. After that, we do the countdown, decreasing in the same way. In case of oncological diseases, it is necessary to undergo 2-3 such courses, tinctures will be required according to this technique, about 100 ml.
Method number 3 According to this method, the dosage is increased even more sharply: first, on the 1st day - drink 1 drop in the morning, 2 in the afternoon, in the evening - 3.

If at some level it becomes bad, you need to stop and take the tincture in such an amount until the dizziness and other symptoms pass, and then continue in the same way. For cancer, go through 2-3 such courses. This course will consume approximately 250 ml of tincture.
The amount of water in which the hemlock tincture is diluted, as the dose increases, it is also advisable to increase at the rate - approximately for every 10 drops of 50 ml of water. For example, dilute 40 drops in 150-200 ml of water.
The dosage of 40 drops for some people is large, so you need to listen to your body, as in the case of celandine juice, when the first signs of an overdose appear - headaches, nausea, dizziness, etc., you need to stop at this level of intake and take in such an amount until the dizziness passes, and then continue according to the scheme. In the worst case, stop taking the tincture for a few days, and after recovery, resume the countdown.
But, there are other cases when the dosage needs to be increased to the maximum (therapeutic) and the 1-40-1 course technique is not effective. In this case, it is necessary to clearly take into account the patient's condition and consult a specialist.
Method No. 4 A is done this way: first, the dosage is increased until dizziness or other signs appear (according to the scheme as indicated in methods 1-3), take for a while in such an amount or reducing by a few drops, and after the symptoms disappear - build up again, and so on up to individual for each. Then they drink in that amount for a while. This technique is usually used for severe cancers.
