Thuja Occidentalis Q (Arbor Vitae) – Homeopathy Tincture for Warts, Cysts & Skin Disorders

Thuja Occidentalis Homeopathic Mother Tincture – For Warts, Skin Issues & Glandular Swellings

Thuja Occidentalis (commonly called Thuja or Arbor Vitae) is a classical homeopathic remedy made from the fresh green twigs of the Thuja tree. Thuja acts chiefly on the skin, genito-urinary system, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys and nervous system, and is prized for its anti-sycotic action — especially where wart-like excrescences, condylomata, and other vegetations appear.

Clinical Uses & Key Actions

Thuja is indicated where there are pathological growths on mucous and cutaneous surfaces: warts, naevi, spongy tumours, polyps, and fatty or ganglionous lumps. It is widely used for:

• Warts, moles, and verrucous growths (including post-vaccination complications)
• Skin infections, pigmentation issues (chloasma), freckles, fungal problems like ringworm
• Genito-urinary complaints — gonorrhoea, balanitis, prostate issues, urethral strictures
• Ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids and polyps; recommended in some PCOS and cystic conditions
• Rheumatic and arthritic pains with lameness and tearing pains worse at rest
• Inflammatory swellings, styes and eye tumours, and post-surgical or vaccination sequelae

Patient Profile

Thuja suits a hydrogenoid, sycotic constitution — individuals who are fleshy or lymphatic, often with a darker complexion, lax muscles and unhealthy skin. Symptoms typically worsen in damp, rainy or cold weather and may show a left-sided predominance. Patients often present with morbid growths, chronic skin complaints, and signs of venous or lymphatic congestion.

Distinctive Symptoms & Modalities

• Sensation of tearing in muscles and joints; worse at rest, better in dry weather
• Complaints aggravated by dampness, moonlight, or cold exposure
• Fixed ideas, emotional sensitivity, music-provoked weeping or trembling
• Left-sided cardiac or neuralgic pains, palpitations, and nervous symptoms

Specific Clinical Notes

Thuja has demonstrated antibacterial action in conditions such as gonorrhoea and vaccination sequelae. It is frequently used in therapy for warts, moles, stubborn skin eruptions and post-vaccinal troubles. Dr Gopi highlights Thuja 200 as supportive in PCOS where cysts and retarded menses are present. Some practitioners use Thuja in adjuvant protocols aimed at inhibiting malignant cell spread in convalescent cancer patients.

Materia Medica Summary

As per classical materia medica, Thuja produces sycotic manifestations: moist, tubercular-like mucous growths, condylomata, and excessive venosity. Other characteristic features include rapid exhaustion, emaciation, left-sided complaints, and hypersensitivity to damp weather. Thuja may abort pustular eruptions and modify post-vaccinal fever and eruptions.

Mind & General

Fixed ideas, a sense that the body and soul are separated, extreme emotional reactivity, and musical irritability.

Head & Hair

Left-sided headaches, neuralgic pains, white scaly dandruff, greasy facial skin and hair-loss in chronic cases.

Dosage & Potency

Commonly used potencies range from 30C to 1M, with the exact potency and repetition tailored to the case. Mother tincture (Q) is used for local application or low-potency systemic dosing (e.g., a few drops diluted) as advised by a qualified practitioner.

How to Take
