FAGOPYRUM AESCULENTUM

Fagopyrum , the common buck wheat is a neglected remedy , despite the fact that it has been rather extensively proven , its pathogenesis occupies 24 pages in Allen’s encyclopedia if pure material medica . An instructive paper on fagopyrum was read before the American institute in 1873 by D.C Perkins of Rockland maine in Anshutz’s new ,old and forgotten remedies .He says that there is no other remedy which possesses a  more marked individuality and which more fully fills a place by itself .It is safe to say that not one in ten of those who practice the healing art has ever used it or is familiar with its pathogenisis , a study of the provings confirms Dr.Perkin’s appraisal of this remedy
