2N. Repellents



Repercussives, Repulsives

They are opposed to Attractive medicines. They prevent the flux of humors into a part, or drive them back to their source. They are primarily used to ‘repel Vapors’, and stop the beginning and increase of Inflammations, Discussive medicines being used after.

Salmon noted: ‘But if the Matter be venomous or pain be great, take heed of Repulsives, or forbear them till [after] due purging’. (Doron Medicum, 1668)

Their effect comes mainly due to Cold and Astringent effects.
