This is general information about a homeopathic remedy, not a prescription or dosing advice. In homeopathy the correct remedy and potency are chosen for the whole individual symptom picture by a qualified homeopath — the same remedy is not right for everyone. Do not self-medicate, and consult a qualified homeopathic doctor (and your physician for serious or persistent conditions) before taking any remedy.

The characteristic picture & modalities
Bryonia Alba, from white bryony, carries one great keynote: complaints are markedly worse from any movement and clearly better from rest, firm pressure and lying still. Dryness runs throughout, with a dry mouth and mucous membranes and a great thirst for large quantities of water. A dry, painful cough, stiff joints eased by pressure, headaches stirred by the slightest motion, and constipation with dry, hard stools all fit. The person is often irritable and wants to be left alone. This is a recognisable pattern suiting some people, not a diagnosis.
Before you take Bryonia Alba
Bryonia's medicine and potency are matched to the whole individual by a qualified homeopath, not selected from a single keynote like worse-from-motion. This page is background information about the symptom picture, not a prescription, and it does not suggest you self-choose a potency. Painful joints, a persistent cough, or a feverish illness should have a proper medical assessment, especially if symptoms are severe or do not settle. Please consult a registered practitioner before taking anything, and continue any treatment your own doctor has recommended.
