IBERIS AMARA

As prescribed by the physician.

• Iberis amara is a valuable homoeopathic medicine prepared from the seeds of the Bitter Candytuft plant of the Cruciferae family. It exhibits a strong affinity for the cardiovascular system, respiratory organs, and central nervous system, making it especially suited for patients suffering from palpitations, cardiac weakness, dyspnoea, and emotional hypersensitivity. It is particularly helpful in functional heart complaints, hypertrophy, and influenza-related heart affections, often accompanied by sensations of pressure, dull pain, and numbness in the left arm. This medicine also addresses symptoms of mental irritability, dizziness, digestive discomfort, and sleep disturbances, making it a holistic option for both acute and chronic conditions involving the heart, circulation, and nervous excitability.
