Bryonia alba or Wild Hops

Remedy picture as described in traditional homoeopathic texts.

Bryonia is less rapid in its action than Aconite, but goes deeper in its effects, often taking up where Aconite leaves off.  Dominant characteristics of Bryonia are dryness of mucous and serous membranes, pain aggravated by any movement and physical weakness. Used in home prescribing for dry coughs, dry mucous membranes, colic and joint pains. The person wants to be left alone but is very thirsty for warm drinks.
