DIGITALIS PURPUREA

As prescribed by the physician.

• Digitalis is a powerful homoeopathic medicine derived from the Digitalis purpurea plant. Belonging to the Scrophulariaceae family, it is primarily indicated in conditions involving cardiac dysfunction, especially where there is irregular, weak, or slow pulse and symptoms of cardiac failure. It acts profoundly on the myocardium, supporting the heart in conditions of dilatation, auricular fibrillation, and dropsical states. This medicine is especially relevant in cases of heart conditions following rheumatic fever, and also supports liver function, urinary complaints, and respiratory distress related to cardiac weakness. Common Name: Foxglove SBL's Digitalis can be helpful in the following conditions: • Heart Fluttering and Irregular Pulse Supports cases of weak, irregular, intermittent, or abnormally slow pulse. Useful in auricular fibrillation, auricular flutter, heart block, and asystole. Indicated in cardiac dropsy, mitral disease, dilated and hypertrophied heart, and pericarditis. Helps manage cardiac collapse and prostration even from minor exertion. Symptoms include cyanosis, palpitations, and the feeling as if the heart will stop with the slightest movement. • Hypertrophy of Liver and Jaundice Beneficial in jaundice arising from cardiac origin, liver induration and hypertrophy. Sore liver with severe abdominal pain. Associated with white, chalky stools and hepatic tenderness. • Urinary Disorders Frequent urging to urinate with burning, cutting pain, especially at night. Urine is scanty, hot, and dark, sometimes with brick-dust sediment. Digitalis is helpful in urethritis, strangury, and phimosis. • Dyspnea and Bronchitis Assists irregular, sighing, and difficult breathing linked to cardiac insufficiency.
