Know Your Remedies – Cyclamen Europaeum (Cycl)

Cyclamen is a low growing perennial flowering plant common to Europe and
the Mediterranean basin. It is easily identified by its oval patterned
leaves and attractive flowers with upswept petals. The homeopathic
remedy, Cyclamen europaeum (Cycl.) is prepared from the plant’s root or
tuber.

Digestive complaints, menstrual difficulties, and emotional disturbances
benefit from homeopathic Cyclamen but only when other symptoms support
its prescription. It is one of the key remedies for indigestion from fat
and pork, and unwarranted feelings of guilt and anxiety of conscience.

When the remedy matches the symptom profile, Cyclamen has the ability to
treat conditions such as: dysmenorrhoea; gastritis; headache and
migraine; menstrual disturbances; strabismus; vaginitis; vertigo and
visual disturbances.
