Rhus toxicodendron is the Latin name for the rather inconspicuous, poisonous shrub “hairy” poison ivy from the sumac family (Anacardiaceae).
Rhus toxicodendron is one of the most important remedies for acute or chronic complaints caused by colds, getting wet, overexertion and sprains. The remedy affects the musculoskeletal system and particularly the body structures near the joints such as tendons, ligaments, joint capsules and muscles as well as the skin. The main areas of application of Rhus toxicodendron are rheumatic complaints, joint inflammation (arthritis), back pain, limb and joint pain (arthrosis), which are accompanied by pronounced stiffness of the body. The homeopathic remedy is also popular with very active people who suffer from musculoskeletal complaints after overexertion during sport. Stiffness of the body can also occur with flu infections. Furthermore, homeopathic poison ivy can be used for skin problems such as cold sores, urticaria (hives) and skin rashes (eczema). Another important characteristic of the use of Rhus toxicodendron is that the symptoms improve with movement, warmth and warm applications.
