About Ignatia Amara Homeopathic Dilution

Ignatia, also known as Strychnos Ignati, derives its homeopathic essence from the seeds of the St. Ignatius plant. It primarily addresses emotional disturbances, depression, grief effects, and mental shock, particularly stemming from the loss of loved ones. Nat Mur complements its action.

This remedy is well-suited for sensitive, delicate individuals, especially women and children. While it may not be effective for aggressive personalities, it proves beneficial for gentle, sensitive individuals with nervous complaints.

Indicated for hysteric and nervous afflictions marked by extreme emotional disturbances, including effects of grief and worry, spasmodic hiccups, and hysterical vomiting.

Hahnemann conducted provings of the St. Ignatius Bean, documenting its effects in the third edition of his Materia Medica Pura, with additional information found in Allen’s Encyclopedia.

Brands: Ignatia Amara Homeopathy Dilution is available in brands such as SBL, Schwabe, and others (Hahnemann, Similia, Medisynth). When selecting 'Others', one of the three brands will be provided, subject to availability.

Ignatia Amara Homeopathy therapeutic range of actions as per Boericke Materia Medica

This remedy significantly heightens all senses and can trigger clonic spasms. Emotionally dominant, it disrupts functional coordination, making it a primary treatment for hysteria. It is particularly suited to women with a nervous temperament—those who are sensitive, quickly excitable, dark-haired, mild-mannered, perceptive, and fast acting. Patients may experience rapid, stark changes in mental and physical states, displaying great contradictions.

Ideal for alert, apprehensive, and trembling individuals who are acutely sensitive both mentally and physically, and whose conditions worsen with coffee consumption. The erratic and superficial nature of its symptoms is a defining characteristic. It is also used to address the effects of grief, worry, and inability to tolerate tobacco. It targets pain that is localized to small, defined spots and can relieve symptoms of the plague, as well as hiccough and hysterical vomiting.

Dose-Sixth, to 200th potency.
