Historically, nux vomica has been thought of as an oral tonic, and used as an appetite-stimulant.  It has also been used for diseases of the respiratory tract, anemia, and geriatric complaints.  Nux vomica contains strychnine and brucine and has, therefore, been used in manufacturing.  It is used as a rodenticide.
