History
Adrenaline or Epinephrine, the active principle of the medulla of the suprarenal gland is employed as a chemical messenger in the regulation of the activities of the body in fact. PAGE 29
Its presence is essential to the activity of the sympathetic nerves. Adrenaline appears to possess a very powerful local action over dilated blood vessels. When injected into the circulation blood pressure rises, the arteries being contracted.
The general muscular system is affected, a slight stimulus producing prolonged
contraction. Adrenaline has cured a number of cases of Addison's disease and has arrested others. Planets: Mars.
Homeopathic
Adrenalin has been suggested in acute congestion of lungs, asthma. Addison's diseases and Grave's diseases, Arteriosclerosis, chronic aortitis, angina pectoris, hemophilia, chlorosis, hay fever, serum rashes, acute urticaria, etc.

Comments
These leading features may be taken as guides for Adrenalin's use: Bronzing of skin, loss of strength, wasting, exceedingly rapid pulse. It has cured a case of hematuria
accompanied by pain in the adrenal region. It has been used locally in cases of hyperemia of the conjunctiva, dissipating it almost immediately and thus rendering operations possible.
Dr. P. Jousset reports success in treating, homeopathically, cases of angina and or aortitis, sub-acute and chronic, when Adrenalin has been prescribed per os and in infinitesimal dose. The symptom guiding to this is, sensation of thoracic constriction with anguish. This with vertigo, nausea and vomiting have been produced by the drug. Abdominal pain. Shock or heart failure during anesthesia, as it causes very prompt rise of blood pressure by its action on nerve endings in the vessel wall.
