Boiron Rhus Toxicodendron 30C Homeopathic Medicine for Joint Pain - 80 Pellets

I have used both Rhus Toxicodendron and 30c Rhus Diversiloba for many years. I am extremely allergic to mosquito bites. Hydrocortisone does nothing. This works!! I must have used up fifty tubes. Additionally, it is incredible for yellow jackets. A few years ago I was crossing the parking lot at the DMV, and as I stepped over a planter, a yellow jacket suddenly flew up and stung my leg (I was in shorts). I was instantly seized by bolts of blinding pain. I also immediately had an impulse to check my pocket, and there was a tube of Rhus Tox I had put in the shorts the last time I had worn them. I put five beads under my tongue with instant relief--the pain dropped to almost nothing by the time I reached the front door of the building. I was originally clued into Rhus Tox by a my professor, Ramchandra Gandhi, grandson of Mohandas K. Gandhi, for joint pain. I subsequently discovered its other benefits.I am in general a little bit leery of the foundational science involved in homeopathy. Many formulas have done nothing for me, but some, including this one, work like a charm. Those tend to be formulas where there are allergic factors involved. The justification for using a weaker solution (30 C as opposed to 10) seems a little looney, but, looney or not, 10C does little for me, 30C works phenomenally well. I don't think the British Royal Family uses homeopathy for nothing!! Many of them drink with abandon, but live to be ancient (the smokers, like George VI and Margaret, exit early, but the rest persist).

Effective. I refer to it as simply Rhus Tox. It is an extract of poison ivy, but don't be deterred as such it is effective and recognized by science by the term 'hormesis'.Would you believe that ideas about toxicity may have to be modified? The scientific community is excited about a relatively new area of research known as “hormesis.” The term, appropriately enough, comes from the Greek word meaning “to excite.” According to the proponents of the theory of hormesis, tiny doses of toxins in the body act in a completely different fashion from large doses and may even be beneficial!In my case I was due for arthroscopic surgery on my left knee, which I already had done for my right knee (not too successful if might add).Anyway, both knees, same doctor and MRI on both and I was informed that surgery should now be done on my left knee as well.By sheer happenstance I visited my homeopathic MD just prior to the knee operation and mentioned to him. To my astonishment he said..."Don't have the operation, let me have a crack at it." I let him examine me and he gave me Rhus Tox...less than two days later, I ceased using my cane to walk. That was about 20 years ago.... my left knee still functions well without surgery and I still take Rhus Tox to keep it that way.BTW.... as Rhus Tox is an extract of poison ivy, it is effective to those sensitive to poison oak.... the irritating chemical in both is identical. So another good use for Rhus Tox.... can be found in most health stores or Whole Foods.

Some days my stiffness is extra grumpy; this helps. Keep it all the time.

This review is for Boiron Rhus Toxicodendron 200ckI never really understood homeopathic medicine...the whole idea of diluting a substance down to almost nothing and it working on various ailments, seemed unfathomable to me...but, it seems to work, so I am sold!I’ve been taking this for about a year now, and I am amazed at how much it helps with my knee pain, Periodically, I’ve tried to stop using it and the knee pain level increases dramatically within 24 hours. I only take 2 pellets a day... 3 on the days that I’ve overworked my knees.I know Boiron is a very reputable homeopathic manufacturer, but the real reason I purchase this brand is because of the container/tube which safely houses these pellets. All you do is turn the tube upside down and twist the cap, the pellets drop into the cap and you can just dump them in your mouth without touching the pellets or the lid. If by chance you twist too much and more pellets come out than you wanted, all you have to do is put the pellet back on the dispenser, put the lid on it, and twist the opposite direction and it will go back to the storage area of the tube. AWESOME design! I have tried another brand and I accidentally dropped the bottle, what a mess, imagine a hundred little pellets smaller than bb’s scattered all over the floor. If you drop this tube, the pellets stay in their locked compartment. Kuddos to Boiron for such a great design!I am so grateful, I have found something to make to help make it manageable. Thank you!

I’m finally at the age where when i wake up my knees hurt. I thought i would give these a try to start my day . They definitely work to get me out of bed. At the end of the day the work too when I’m tired and achy. I highly recommend

I was diagnosed with tendonitis and trigger finger. I type & use a computer mouse daily which aggravates my condition. I got a cortisone injection which only lasted about 6 months and I didn't want another and am trying to avoid surgery so I been looking into homeopathic methods of healing. I started with Rhus tox 30 but it only lasted about 4 hours so I depleted my supply quickly. I heard people say this doesn't work & it's just sugar pills. They do taste like sugar but work for me. I decided to try the 200 strength and I receive about 8 hours of relief now. I coupled this with a copper glove & cut down to taking the tablets 1-2 times day. I take 3 of these for relief and when I was using the 30 dose I took 5 so for those saying it is not working maybe didn't take enough or as often as necessary. These work as good for me as 800mg Ibuprofen. I am hoping I don't need to take for forever though and started acupuncture to hopefully receive more permanent relief. Great product and I would give 5 stars if I only had to take ONE tablet 1-2 times per day.

I love homeopathics, they are gentle and work well and if they don't work they don't have side effects. This one is great for eye problems including pink eye.
