Ignatia Amara is a homeopathic remedy obtained from the St Ignatius bean, a climbing plant of the Loganiaceae family from the Philippines.

The beans are peeled, dried and then macerated in alcohol to obtain the mother tincture of Ignatia Amara.

Most Ignatia Amara products contain some lactose and sucrose, except the powder which contains only lactose.

Ignatia Amara helps to relieve common disorders in irritable and nervous people.

This remedy is certainly particularly effective in treating psychosomatic disorders, but it can also be used to treat many other conditions.

Behavioural problems

Ignatia Amara can be used to treat certain behavioural disorders such as anxiety, especially if the person tends to sigh several times in a relatively short period of time, or is easily irritated.

Ignatia Amara can also be used to treat sleep disorders associated with bereavement and can be given to people who get little sleep but can easily fall asleep in the presence of noise.

This homeopathic medicine also helps to relieve stage fright, especially if the person feels the need to urinate frequently.

Ignatia Amara is also recommended for those who panic easily in the face of more or less frightening situations.

Finally, it is the ideal remedy for relieving the symptoms of spasmophilia or depression caused by emotional shock.

Stress related pathologies

Ignatia Amara can be prescribed for stress-related conditions.

In particular, it helps to relieve severe migraines, when you feel as if a point is sinking into your head.

Ignatia Amara also helps to relieve headaches caused by very strong odours or indigestible food.

Stress can also cause a dry cough. Ignatia Amara is also indicated for this type of pathology.

Painful and crampy menstrual periods and certain abdominal pains are also related to stress and can be treated with Ignatia Amara.

Certain conditions such as high blood pressure, asthma, gastritis, neck and back pain are sometimes caused by stress and can be relieved by taking Ignatia Amara.

Finally, tachycardia, aerophagia and a lump in the throat are cases in which the use of Ignatia Amara is effective.

Additional guidance

In addition to behavioural disorders and stress-related pathologies, Ignatia Amara helps to relieve menopausal hot flushes, especially those that are exacerbated by emotions.

This medicine works by restoring physical and psychological balance in post-menopausal women.

Another case in which Ignatia Amara gives very good results is in the treatment of snacking caused by boredom in some children.

It should also be noted that this remedy can reduce appetite and help patients to lose weight.
