Boiron - Rhus Toxicodendron - 30C (80 Pellet)

I've had osteoarthritis in both knees for a few years now and have been getting Gel shots for it. It was suggested that I try this product and I was amazed that it worked so well. I'm overdue for my shots by a month and so far I'm able to move without excessive pain. I have mentioned it to a few people who have tried it and have had success too. It won't cure my problem, but it will help me to live with it more comfortably.

Rhus Tox is the "rusty gate" remedy- initial movement hurts at first because of the stiffness, but continued movement helps as you get going. This is really great for joint type pains, or any pain as described above, like after you sprain or strain something. Arthritis should be treated by a professional homeopath, but this can help you get some relief until then. I use Rhus Tox in a muscle strain mix (with Arnica, Ruta, and sometimes Hypericum, all of which are available on Amazon). It's a basic remedy that everyone should have on hand. 1-2 pellets is fine for a dose. Redose as needed if symptoms recur.

I was told about this product years ago to help with poison oak. Ever since taking it, anytime I'm exposed to poison oak, the rash will not spread. I may get a small rash but that is it! Rhus Tox seemed to help my body become resistant. And it works great for joint pain which is what it's labeled for. It's not an overnight cure - takes some time but soon I'll notice my joints don't hurt! Great product - I tell anyone who has poison oak to use this product!!

works very well for poison ivy/oak etc instead of having to take steroids

This is working for me in the 30C. I'm treating myself with 5 pellets only when rhus characteristics strongly present. Rhus tox is poison ivy and treats both ivy and oak. Sadly my state does not license homeopathic physicians. Interesting history is that I got a bad case of poison oak for the first time in my 20's in Berkeley California in 1978. I was treated by the U.C. clinic with high doses of cortisone, which didn't work, so I was given an even higher dose, which worked. Over the years, I've developed very particular symptoms including chronic muscle pain and being ridiculously & frustratingly easy to injure. I have many other symptoms which line up with Rhus Tox and a few that don't. Did you know Rhus patients crave cold milk? Makes sense because applied to the skin, cold milk soothes the rash. Reading Rhus articles on the net has given me an amateur's useful understanding of this remedy so that I can treat myself. For skeptics of micro dosing, this one may make you itch and flush red. :)) So use it with care. And, part of choosing a rememdy is the understanding that suppressed poison oak and ivy may present later in rhus tox symptoms. Most importantly again, the symptoms need to line up or it won't do anything. And, if you keep taking it without symptoms you'll start taking on thesymptoms or "prove" it.

Love this brand and their little blue bottles. This worked as stated by the brand. Highly recommend.

Someone suggested this to me bc I have severe reactions to poison ivy, I took it for about 4 days after I had started to break out and it completely stopped it from spreading and got rid of the rash!!!! Saved me from having to go get a steroid from the doctor!

I use almost exclusively alternative medicine, including homeopathic remedies, and have benefited greatly from it. In this case, I find it ironic that remedies for allergies and other body difficulties would contain both sugar and lactose, of all things. This product actually aggravated my symptoms, instead of helping alleviate them. I have wasted over $100 on various Boiron medicines and only got inflammation from them and zero benefits, yet Boiron takes absolutely no responsibility whatsoever.
