Carduus Marianus 232 Due to the diseases of the liver, there is a cough affecting the lower part of the right lung. There is pain over the scapula like the patients of Chelidonium and Aesculus. There is pain over the right buttock and the hip joint, which radiates down the leg. Muscular spasms also occur. Carduus Marianus is very useful in the treatment of hip pain which gets worse on movement. In a patient of Carduus Marianus, there is a tendency to develop varicose veins. In all such remedies associated with bleeding of dark coloured blood, there is a tendency to develop spider webs of blue colour. Feet become swollen (oedematous). Cramping of the feet and the calves make walking difficult. Cramps of the legs which develop on walking fast, are best treated by the combination of Bryonia and Arnica. When the disease has reached an advanced stage, the patients of Carduus Marianus may not even walk a few steps. The feet become weak. Carduus Marianus is also useful in the treatment of influenza affecting the liver. Potency: Q to 30, but mostly used in the form of Mother Tincture.
