Anacardium Orientale

Marking Nut. Anacardiacece.

The nut of Semecarpus Anacardium ; not identical with Avicennia tomentosa, as Hahnemann erroneously stated. It is imported from the East Indies, and if Schwarz, in his Pharrnacopcea, recommends the soft resin of the seed for trituration, it is only to avoid too old and dry ones.

The common tincture of the whole nut was proved by Hahnemann and his original disciples, because it had been one of the most famous medicines in the old Arabian school, forgotten for nearly a thousand years.

The provings were arranged and published by E. Staph, in the second volume of his Archives, in 1823. The next edition was made by Hahnemann, in his Chronic Diseases, in 1835, where he condensed the 484 symptoms of the first publication, and added (without having another prover) ]58 new symptoms.
