Chionanthus virginica
Chionanthus is one of the most valuable agents in the correction of difficulties arising due to the inertia of the liver. Chionanthus is a mild cholagogue and is indicated as the remedy in jaundice of functional origin, as also in all hepatic derangements due to subacute conditions.
"Chionanthus exerts a special influence upon the liver, and to a slight extent upon all the organs engaged in digestion and blood-making. The indications for its exhibition are: Yellowness of the skin and eyes; slight or fully-developed jaundice, with a sense of uneasiness and general pain simulating colic. It is one of the most certain remedies employed, whether the case is one of jaundice, formation and passage of gallstone, bilious colic (indicated by yellowness of skin), acute dyspepsia, acute or chronic inflammation of the liver, or the irritable liver of the hard drinker.
"Chionanthus is also indicated by a dirty, sallow skin, with expressionless eyes and hepatic tenderness; the passage of light grayish stools and scant urine which stains the clothing yellow. The liver-pain of Chionanthus may range from a slight uneasiness, with a feeling of weight and fullness, to an intense pain converging from the gall-bladder to the umbilicus, and attended with nausea, vomiting, and marked prostration."— Dr. Fetter—Lloyd's.
