This remedy is prepared from a tree called Seven Barks. It is related to the diseases of the kidney, though it is not very commonly used. One of its most prominent symptoms is the presence of excessive amounts of salts in the urine and the formation of sediments, which settle in the form of a thick white layer. Besides this, the patient may start passing blood in the urine (haematuria), small stones or crystals, which injure the urethra and cause severe burning pain. For these symptoms, Hydrangea is very useful. Passing reddish coloured urine, a burning sensation, and the presence of gravel in the urine, are also found in Lycopodium.
Hydrangea is also very useful in the treatment of senile enlargement of the prostate. If the prostatic enlargement is non cancerous and there is evidence of deposit of salts in the urine, one must use Hydrangea.
Potency: up to 30.
