Spotlight on Rhus tox

Rhus tox is a well-known remedy for ARTHRITIS, STIFF JOINTS, BACK PAIN and RHEUMATISM. Rhus tox works where there is stiffness, which is worse in damp, cold weather and after rest. Symptoms ease with warmth and gentle exercise, whereas prolonged activity tends to make it worse.

Sometimes the joint or muscle pains make the person restless, resulting in moving around from place to place in an attempt to get comfortable. These symptoms may be especially noticeable in the evening or at night. Rhus tox is also the main remedy for STRAINS and SPRAINS and is used to treat SKIN PROBLEMS, especially those that are ALLERGY-related, including where there is itching or inflammation of the skin around the eyes or genital region.
