Solanaceae: Nightmare between Light & Dark explores the parallels & distinguishing features of this group of homeopathic medicines with Belladonna as its archetype. Not constrained by the botanical family, Massimo Mangialavori broadens the scope of this group to other homeopathic medicines such as Lyssinum, Gallicum acidum, & Tanacetum that share fundamental themes with other Solanacea remedies. He examines the well-known toxic Solanaceae such as Belladonna, Stramonium, Hyoscyamus, as well as less represented remedies such as Mandragora, Solanum nigrum, Solanum tuberosum aegrotans. The non-toxic Solanaceae, Capsicum, Dulcamara, Tabacum, Lycopersicum & Solanum tuberosum, are also presented & compared with the others. With a fresh outlook & characteristic precision, Dr. Mangialavori refines our understanding of this group of substances from meticulous analysis of his cured cases as well as the classic homeopathic literature. In true Renaissance fashion, this beloved Italian medical doctor weaves his broad knowledge & experience of anthropology, biology, botany, medicine, psychology, history, mythology, & the Classics for a fuller understanding of homeopathic medicines as well as the study of humankind.
