Garcinia Gambogia Homeopathy Mother Tincture

Gambogia Mother Tincture (Q) is a potent homeopathic remedy derived from the resinous gum of the Gambogia Morella tree, also known as Gamboge or Gummi Gutti. Traditionally used for its powerful action on the alimentary (gastro-intestinal) tract, Gambogia is known for managing digestive disorders, especially diarrhoea and abdominal colic.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Alimentary Support:
  Gambogia is widely recognized for its ability to relieve symptoms of diarrhoea, particularly those accompanied by colicky abdominal pain. It is highly effective in cases where the stool is yellow or green and mixed with mucus, and is expelled suddenly and forcefully.

• Anti-Obesity Action:
  According to Dr. Sahaj Joshi, Gambogia also serves as a natural fat cutter, supporting weight management by improving metabolism and addressing gastrointestinal disturbances that may contribute to fat accumulation.

• IBD & Gastrointestinal Relief:
  Recommended by Dr. Vikas Sharma and Dr. KS Gopi, Gambogia is ideal for patients suffering from Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), where profuse, watery stools and cutting pain around the navel are common. It is especially beneficial in cases of chronic diarrhoea in the elderly.
