About Stramonium Homeopathy Mother Tincture Q

Also known as: Datura Stramonium, Jimson Weed, Thorn Apple
Source: Prepared from the fresh plant of Datura Stramonium (Natural Order: Solanaceae)

Stramonium Mother Tincture is a classical homoeopathic medicine prepared from genuine raw materials using extra neutral alcohol (ENA). It is known for its deep action on the brain, nervous system, and muscular coordination, making it valuable in conditions marked by restlessness, involuntary movements, spasms, and neuro-psychiatric disturbances. It is also indicated in severe violent headaches and migraines, especially when associated with neurological symptoms.

The entire force of Stramonium is expended on the brain, with secondary involvement of the skin and throat. A hallmark feature is suppressed secretions and excretions, along with peculiar sensations such as limbs feeling separated from the body, absence of pain despite severe pathology, and marked motor disturbances. It is widely used in cases of delirium tremens, Parkinsonism, and movement disorders, where gyratory, graceful, or involuntary motions are observed.
