rhododendron is someone who responds to rapid changes of weather such as wind,
storm, cold, thunder and/or electrical disturbances. The person is worse during
seasonal changes from summer to winter. Symptoms often come for indefinite
periods of time, sometimes longer sometimes shorter (2 - 12 days). Symptoms will
be absent then come again and be felt for several days. Symptoms are most likely
to return back when the weather becomes cold and when a storm is threatening.
It is not necessary for the person to be exposed to the actual elements in
order to develop the indications for the Rhododendron remedy. The person may be

environmental conditions could be sufficient to bring on symptoms. This remedy
