The strain of this homeopathic remedy is iodine, a halogen widely used in the pharmaceutical industry.

The symptomatic aetiology of Iodum is related to the high toxicity of iodine and its effects on the body.

Metabolism and nutrition

Iodum is prescribed for people suffering from bulimia, with excessive appetite and a constant desire to consume.

The remedy is particularly suitable when this first symptom is accompanied by a very marked loss of weight, or even a cessation of growth.

This condition often leads to great weakness and extreme thinness.

The homeopathic remedy Iodum works by restoring the process.

On the one hand, it reduces appetite by acting as an appetite suppressant.

On the other hand, Iodum also acts on the patient's metabolism and counteracts the phenomenon of weight loss.

Endocrinology

Excessive secretion of hormones by the thyroid gland can be harmful to the body and lead to a condition called hyperthyroidism.

Iodine is the ideal treatment for this endocrine pathology.

A person with hyperthyroidism is thin despite an excessive appetite, and is very restless and hyperactive.

When he feels unwell, his heart rate increases, he has heat waves and is constantly thirsty.

His body temperature increases and so does his appetite.

Despite this, the person continues to lose weight.

This drug is also prescribed for hypothyroidism.

This pathology leads to growth retardation and, in particular, cretinism.

In the case of hypothyroidism, the patient becomes extremely weak, cold and very irritable.

He does not eat much and yet continues to gain weight.

His skin is pale, his nails break easily and his hair is completely dry.

There is a deterioration in his voice and the appearance of goiters.

ENT indications

When the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract produce a lot of mucus, it causes catarrh.

This pathology is manifested by a blocked nose, unpleasant sensations in the larynx, heavy tearing and pain in the eyes.

There is also a strong, hot nasal discharge, which often causes pain in the nose that radiates to the forehead.

In some cases, the mucus can cause deafness or hoarseness of the voice.

Gynaecology

Iodum is prescribed for irregular and heavy periods.

It also helps to relieve the discomfort that some women experience during their period: pain in the ovaries, heaviness in the breasts, atrophy of the nipples, weakness or a state of great restlessness.

Iodine is also an excellent remedy for metrorrhagia.

Finally, it is an effective remedy for ovaritis, especially if it is accompanied by a thick yellow vaginal discharge.

Gastroenterology

Iodum is also recommended for stomach problems.

These include burning and trembling in the stomach, as well as flatulence that occurs systematically after meals.

Many organs of the digestive tract can be affected.

Iodum is prescribed for enlargement of the liver, often accompanied by jaundice, or for swelling of the spleen, which causes severe pain around the organ.

Finally, iodum is also recommended for certain diseases of the pancreas.

Dermatology

Iodum is a medicine that helps to treat skin conditions such as boils and warts.

It is also used to treat eczema in babies.

Iodum is also recommended for the treatment of open wounds that are difficult to heal.

Thanks to the substance it contains, this homeopathic remedy speeds up the healing process by reducing itching.
