## Keynote Indications
Adonis has not been proved, but the indications for its use have been defined from 
experience. Indications include rapid and feeble action of the heart, dropsy, scanty urine with albumen and 
casts. Valvular disease and cardiac asthma. There is no record of its uses in the potencies.  
Adonis acts predominantly on the heart when it is affected after rheumatism, influenza or nephritis, where the 
muscles of the heart are in the stage of fatty degeneration. Pains wander from place to place.  
Regulates the pulse and increases the power of contractions of heart with more urinary secretions. Low vitality 
with weak heart and slow, weak pulse. Most valuable in cardiac dropsy. 
Hydrothorax, ascites or anasarca.
