CICUTA VIROSA

As prescribed by the physician.

• Cicuta virosa is a powerful homoeopathic medicine prepared from the fresh root of Water Hemlock gathered at the time of flowering sourced from Umbelliferæ family. It is especially recognized for its profound action on the nervous system, producing violent spasmodic conditions such as trismus, tetanus, hiccough, and convulsions. The medicine is particularly suited to individuals experiencing backward bending of the head, neck, and spine, with violent, distorted, and often frightful motor activity. It also shows significant effects on the skin, mental functions, digestive system, and respiratory organs. Characterized by absurd behavior, vivid dreams, internal chills, and sensitivity to external stimuli such as snow and trauma, Cicuta virosa is a vital medicine for both acute and chronic neuro-spasmodic and cutaneous conditions.
