Cantharis Mother Tincture!! A hidden gem

Hello folks!!

Especially to all the women and girls who are suffering with recurring UTIS (urinary tract infection), itching in private parts and, also to those people ,who have more access to the kitchen and cooking.

Surprised by the address?

Well! Cooking can be done by anyone and UTI s can be a problem for anyone as well, but we all know who has more access to kitchen to cook and also who suffers more from Urinary tract infections.

Due to anatomy, in females urethra is shorter and so they are prone to get Urinary Infections much often and even infection in the genital areas as well. The introduction of Western style commodes everywhere has increased the number of cases these days.

From toddlers going to Play Schools to elderly women all are equally exposed especially when using public toilets and in many cases holding the urine for long contributes alot.

Over the past couple of years, I have witnessed atleast 3 cases on an average every month of small kids going to reputed preschools suffering with recurrent UTIs. Sadly, people first approach the Modern Medicines for quick fix and its only after repeat 3-4 episodes or more of UTIs and the respective Antibiotics course, then they show up to a Homeopathic Clinic, citing that too much of antibiotics has done more harm than good.

There are many Homeopathic medicines which help people recover well from any kind of infections, let alone be UTIs; Cantharis is one of those remedies. Homeopathic Medicines work wonders when chosen correctly and dispensed in requisite potentized doses. So, every UTI does not call for internal use of potentised Cantharis but Cantharis mother tincture may find a Permanent Place in your washrooms.

 Q/1x/Mother tincture– is the un-potentized raw extract of the Medicine. We will know about it in further posts.

Cantharis Q is very very effective as external medicine. To mention a few-

  1. In case of severe UTIs , where there is too much burning and pain at urethra after passing urine; it can be used as diluted form to wash after every episode of passing urine. The usage however must be according to your doctors prescription because it will vary according to the intensity of particular case. The amount of medicine and proportion to dilution is subject to Doctors prescription, strictly. In children especially, one must strictly adhere to their doctors advice and not exceed the suggested dilution.
  2. Genitourinary infections- these include- urinary infection and also infection in the genital tracts especially in females. It may include offensive discharges from vagina, itching , unexplained bloody spots, pain in general or painful coitus. All these symptoms have to be taken care of with proper case study and the respective similimum medicine. But as a first aid, one can use Cantharis Q in diluted forms like few drops in half mug water to wash a few times in a day.
  3. Most externally visible effect of Cantharis Q external application is BURNS. It must find place in your kitchens first aid box. Its a wonderful remedy as first aid in case of burns. It can help prevent blisters and deep burns so less chances of getting scars post burn. Direct application or slightly diluted form on the affected area immediately works best in minor accidental burns.

One very important thing that one must not overlook is that, here whatever is mentioned is regarding usage as first aid and not the main course of treatment. While the mother tincture form of Cantharis may give you considerable relief, it is not alone going to bring up the cure. You must visit your nearest Homeopathic doctor and take the prescribed medicine, or you can book an appointment via our website for Online Consultation.

We shall be discussing more such remedies in further posts. Homeopathy has a wide range of medicines, not only in potentised form but also as Mother tinctures and biochemic forms as well. Though these usually don’t count as classical part of Homeopathy , but with the changing times and individual case demands, these forms are widely accepted and are helping people to recover well.
