Cocculus

Cocculus Indicus. Menispermaceae.

Tincture of the powdered seeds, which contain a crystallizable principle, Picrotoxin, a powerful poison.

Cocculus was used by the ancients as a poison for fish, stupefying them, and rendering it easy to catch them.

It has been, and still is, extensively used for adulterating malt liquors.

It was known to the Arabian physicians, and for a long time imported into Europe from the Levant. It is now brought exclusively from the East Indies.

It was first introduced into the Materia Medica and used as a remedy by Hahnemann, who proved it on himself and his disciples. Reil employed a tincture of the seeds with success in chorea, hemiplegia from cold, and paralysis of bladder from the same cause.
