What does Rhus Tox 200C mean?
Rhus Toxicodendron is the homeopathic name for a preparation traditionally derived from poison ivy. The source plant can cause severe contact dermatitis and should never be handled or used as a home preparation. “200C” is a centesimal potency label. It does not tell you how many pills to take or how often to repeat them.
