 From Boericke's materia medica:

AMANITA (Toad Stool-Bug Agaric) This fungus contains several toxic compounds, the best known of which is MUSCARIN. The symptoms of poisoning do not develop at once, usuallly twelve to fourteen hours elapse before the Initial attack. There is no antidote, treatment, entirely symptomatic (Schneider). Agaricus acts as an intoxicant to the brain, producing more vertigo and delirium than alcohol, followed by profound sopor with lowered reflexes. Jerking, twitching, trembling, and itching are strong indications. Incipient phthisis; is related to the tubercular diathesis, anaemia, CHOREA, twitching ceases during sleep. Various forms of neuralgia and spasmodic affections, and neurotic skin troubles are pictured in the symptomatology of this remedy. It corresponds to various forms of cerebral excitement rather than congestion. Thus, in delirium of fevers, alcoholism, etc. General paralysis. SENSATION AS IF PIERCED BY NEEDLES OF ICE.

MORE DECIDED INTOXICATION-great mental excitement and incoherent talking, immoderate gaity alternates with melancholy. Perception of relative size of objects is lost, takes long steps and jumps over small objects as if they were trunks of trees-a small hole appears as a frightful chasm, a spoonful of water an immense lake. Physical strength is increased, can lift heavy loads. With it much twitching. 3. THIRD STAGE produces a condition of furious or raging delirium, screaming, raving, wants to injure himself, etc. 4. FOURTH STAGE-mental depression, languor, indifference, confusion, disinclination to work, etc. We do not get the active cerebral congestion of Belladonna, but a general nervous excitement such as is found in delirium tremens, delirium of fevers, etc.

Alnus glutinosa is a remedy for the circulatory system, most strikingly after the acute stage of cerebral and coronary issues. It can increase circulation and regrowth of cells after myocardia infarction (heart attack) and cerebral infarction (ischemic stroke). It also has anti-coagulant and anti-thrombotic properties. It has the ability to increase cognitive function in cases of memory loss and senile dementia.
