Hi Fionna and others,
Yes, Strychnos nuxvomica does indeed form the base for the Homeopathic medicine 'Nux vomica' which, when taken in small doses can give very immediate relief for uneasiness and drowsiness, upset tummies and nausea.
Hope the tree survives the test of time. Also a reminder to us that trees are 'useful' not only as providers of fruits and flowers and edible stuff, but also carbon sequestration, oxygen for breathing, holders of soil and moisture...........etc etc etc.......
Thanks for the conversation,
Madhura
