This plant is also known by other names such as "Christ's spear", "water nettle" or "water hemp".

This remedy has several therapeutic virtues and is used to treat various more or less serious conditions.

It is mainly the leaves of the plant that are used in its preparation.

Main indications

Lycopus is generally used to treat certain heart conditions.

In most cases, heart disease is accompanied by palpitations and an irritable cough.

It is also common for people with this type of disease to become very nervous and for their heartbeat to be so weak that it is difficult to detect.

These symptoms are a sign of a weak heart.

Lycopus can also be used to treat other heart conditions, including those that manifest as an enlarged heart, pain and palpitations.

Other indications

In addition to cardiology, Lycopus is also used to treat other conditions.

Among other things, it can be used to treat diseases that are very common and dangerous in the tropics.

Typhoid fever and malaria are among the diseases that Lycopus effectively treats.

It is also recommended in the treatment of severe eye inflammation, such as pericarditis.

Certain rheumatic pains, especially those accompanied by oedema and aggravated by cold, can also be relieved by lycopus.
