Dulcamara in Homeopathy: Uses, Dosages and Benefits

The homeopathic remedy Dulcamara is made from the aerial parts of Bitter Sweet, a ubiquitous woody, climbing plant. It is generally found in damp areas, sheltered under hedges.

Profile of the person sensitive to Dulcamara

Dulcamara can be adapted to any illness arising from exposure to cold humidity: a child coming out of the pool wet, an athlete cooled down after sweating, fog... or any ailment arising after perspiration has stopped due to the cold (like an athlete after training, for example).

Dulcamara is often prescribed from August 15, when evenings become cooler, in the mountains where temperatures are more contrasted, or after exposure to excessive air conditioning...

Dulcamara applications

Mucous membranes

In ENT, Dulcamara is particularly indicated for treating rhinopharyngitis resulting from exposure to damp cold. Typical symptoms include a blocked nose, sometimes accompanied by mucus in the throat. In addition, the patient may suffer from epistaxis (nosebleeds), red, shiny, warm blood and a tongue numbed by the cold, making it difficult to speak. The tongue may also be swollen and dry, while saliva is frothy and slobbery. In such situations, Dulcamara is the recommended solution.

• Rhinopharyngitis: These usually begin with a cold and a copious discharge, accompanied by throat clearing, due to thick secretions stuck to the back of the throat.
• Autumn pollinosis: when nasal obstruction is dominant.

Dulcamara is recommended for sensitive individuals who, after exposure to cold and damp, develop tracheobronchitis or asthma attacks, manifested by coughing and a blocked nose. Occasionally, the patient may expectorate viscous mucus, possibly mixed with bright red blood. When lying down, the cough may be violent, accompanied by fever and burning sensations on the skin. At night, the patient may shiver and sweat profusely, giving off a strong odour.

• Asthma, bronchitis: with a dry or oily cough after being cooled in damp weather, or following exposure to dampness, fog or the like.

In gastroenterology, Dulcamara is recommended for diarrhea occurring after a damp chill, generally in summer. Before the onset of diarrhea, the patient may feel an aversion to food, while experiencing unquenchable thirst. Nausea may lead to viscous, persistent and pale vomiting. The patient may experience abdominal colic pain, often spasmodic, mainly in the umbilical region. Stools may be green, slimy, preceded by almost unbearable pain and, in the most severe cases, may be bloody.

• Summer and autumn diarrhoea: caused by a cold. Often following a summer heat wave.

Dermatology

Dulcamara is prescribed for skin eruptions that bleed after scratching and appear mainly in cold weather. Vesicular eruptions may also be observed, and the epidermis may thicken all over the body, leading to intense itching. Occasionally, the patient may suffer from hives without fever. Finally, in the case of flat warts, a Dulcamara-based treatment is particularly recommended.

• Dermatoses: triggered by cold water or damp cold, such as urticaria, eczema...
• Pruritus, itching: aggravated by damp cold.
• Flat warts: another type of dermatosis.

Rheumatology

Dulcamara is also effective in rheumatology. Following exposure to damp cold, the subject may suffer from headaches and sciatic neuralgia, followed by joint pain. Patients often experience muscular pain accompanied by a sensation of cold in the affected areas. These pains, sometimes tearing, dull and throbbing, make the patient uncomfortable and force him or her to constantly change position. Pain may also be felt in the neck and lumbar region.

• Pain: after exposure to damp cold, such as headaches, neuralgia, sciatica, joint pain, triggered by the transition from hot to damp cold.
• Pain is generally muscular and/or ligamentary, rarely articular. They are accompanied by a sensation of cold that penetrates the affected areas. They may be dull, tearing, pulling or throbbing.

Other applications of Dulcamara

• Cystitis: or urinary incontinence in children after wet feet.
• Dental neuralgia: triggered or aggravated by damp cold.
