Partridge Berry is among the best remedies for preparing
the uterus and whole body for child birth. Take for some weeks
before the child is due, thus ensuring a safe and wonderful
birth for both of you. Used also for the relief of painful
periods. As an astringent it has been used in the treatment
of colitis, especially if there is much mucus. Useful for
all forms of nervous feebleness and irritability of a chronic
character. Exerts a highly favorable influence over spermatorrhea,
especially in combination with the flowers of Althea, Celastrus,
and Uva ursi.
On the mucous membranes it exerts a mild tonic influence,
which slowly abates excessive mucous discharges, and has led
most herbalists to pronounce it an astringent; but this action
is wholly tonic, and may be used for catarrhal and leucorrheal
discharges, as well as for chronic dysentery.
Combinations : As parturient to prepare for childbirth it
may be used with Raspberry Leaves. For dysmenorrhoea it could
be combined with Cramp Bark and Pasque Flower.
