Wayfaring tree is chiefly regarded as long drainer. As such it is used in allergic symptoms with asthmatic dyspnea, in asthma (particularly children), overinfected asthma with allergic ground, non allergic dyspnea.
It has a sedative action on the neurovegetative pulmonary system and is therefore recommended in dyspneic bronchitis, chronic anergy. It inhibits bronchiolar spasm. It is a great remedy of chronic spasmodic rhinitis.
Wayfaring tree is related to the Lung/ Large intestine of traditional Chinese medicine and acts on the psoric diathesis with cutaneous and respiratory alternation (an eczema "removed" by pomades often moves and is transformed in asthma).
For this reason it is logical to see Wayfaring tree bud indicated in atopic eczema and eczema in inflammatory state, dermatomyositis.
Its regulating action on the diencephalic- thyroid axis explains its regulating action on the thyroid. It gives also good results in hyperthyroidism.
This macerate is also useful in evolutive chronic periathritis and periarthritis nodosum.
