An answer to rheumatological pain

By providing relief from pain that is aggravated by rest and improved by movement, this homeopathic remedy helps improve the quality of life of people suffering from rheumatological conditions, facilitating better mobility and increased comfort.
Towards a balance between movement and rest
Valeriana Officinalis' effectiveness lies in its ability to harmonize the needs of body and mind, offering relief from symptoms aggravated by stress and static posture, while promoting improved well-being on the move. Incorporating Valeriana Officinalis into your skincare routine can be a key step towards a more serene balance and enhanced overall health.
Treatment of insomnia
Valerian has significant sedative effects, making it a remedy of choice for people suffering from insomnia linked to chronic pain. By soothing hypersensitivity to pain and stabilizing moods, it facilitates falling asleep and improves sleep quality. In addition, for individuals exposed to high stress, Valeriana Officinalis helps overcome sleep disorders, including initial insomnia or nocturnal myoclonus.
Soothing Spasms: Focus on Spasmophilia
Valerian excels in the treatment of psychic pain and spasms. Thanks to its antispasmodic properties, it effectively relieves spasms of the digestive tract as well as those of the laryngeal muscle, offering particular comfort to people suffering from spasmophilia. It is also useful for alleviating the muscular myoclonus often observed during spasmophilic attacks.
Additional indications
In addition to its effects on insomnia and spasmophilia, valerian works synergistically with anxiolytics to treat lower back or sciatic pain resulting from prolonged anxiety or excessive excitement. Its sedative properties are particularly beneficial in relieving lumbosacral pain, common among athletes under the pressure of competition.
Dosage for spasmodic pain
The approach to spasmodic pain is slightly different. Valeriana Officinalis homeopathic granules should be taken under the tongue until completely dissolved. Each granule contains a mixture of lactose and sucrose. To effectively treat spasmodic and chronic pain, the suggested dosage is 5 granules, twice a day. This quantity is particularly indicated for muscular and gastric spasms. The dilution of the remedy varies according to the intensity of the pain, generally oscillating between 4 and 5 CH. When Valeriana Officinalis is used as an antispasmodic, treatment lasts three months.

Pregnant women can use homeopathic remedies without any known risk to themselves or their unborn child, but it is advisable to seek advice.
Frequency of homeopathic use
For acute conditions, homeopathic remedies should be taken every hour until symptoms improve. From then on, they should be taken 3 or 4 times a day, spaced out, and then gradually stopped.
For chronic conditions, low-dilution remedies (> 9CH) should be taken 1 or 2 times a day, while basic remedies should be taken once a week, or even once a month. This decision is left to the homeopath.
What to do if there is no improvement within 24 hours
Certain pathologies cannot be treated with homeopathy simply by self-medication. Their severity requires medical advice from a homeopathic doctor. This doctor will judge whether your condition can be treated with homeopathy alone, or whether your treatment needs to be supplemented with allopathic medicine.
