Ranunculus bulbosus is a homeopathic remedy made from the golden flower.

This perennial plant grows mainly in European pastures.

The whole plant is used in the preparation of this remedy.

Ranunculus bulbosus is recommended for dermatological diseases of viral origin.

It is also used to treat other diseases and to relieve various types of pain.

Infectious disease indications

Dermatological diseases caused by viruses such as shingles, chickenpox or herpes are the main indications for Ranunculus bulbosus.

These skin diseases are characterised by the eruption of small blisters arranged in clusters and, in the case of shingles, bluish in colour.

In the case of chickenpox, the yellowish fluid present in the vesicles is exuded, giving way to a crust.

These rashes are accompanied by a burning sensation on the skin.

They are often found along the nerves.

ENT indications

In ear, nose and throat medicine, Ranunculus bulbosus is used for headaches caused by temperature changes.

These are headaches accompanied by pain in the eyes and a feeling of heaviness in the head.

The eye pain is in the outer part of the right eye.

This remedy also helps to remove mucus and stop nasal discharge in nasopharyngitis.

Allergic rhinitis, which is accompanied by inflammation of the nasal passages and tingling of the nasal walls, is also treated with Ranunculus bulbosus.

Treatment of various types of pain

The pain relieved by Ranunculus bulbosus is mainly that which is aggravated by a drop in temperature and that which increases in intensity with stretching or simple movement.

Pain that is sensitive to palpation and that increases in intensity at night are also indications of Ranunculus bulbosus.

These pains may be located in the face, arms, chest, stomach, right hypochondrium, back or sciatica.

Pain in the face is usually a tingling sensation.

Pain in the arms often comes on suddenly and in the form of a crack.

They are also accompanied by coldness in the fingers and stiffness in the wrist.

The tender chest pains of Ranunculus bulbosus are similar to compression.

They are aggravated by movement, palpation, inhalation and exhalation, but also by cold.

The epigastric pains relieved by this remedy are those which are aggravated by touch.

Pain in the right hypochondrium begins under the ribs on the right side, blocks breathing and spreads to the right shoulder.

Low back pain, which is sensitive to this homeopathic remedy, is located in the shoulder blades and manifests itself as a stabbing pain.

Ranunculus bulbosus also relieves morning sciatica by causing a burning sensation.

Some ovarian pain caused by temperature changes can also be relieved by this homeopathic remedy.

Pain along the path of the intercostal nerves can also be treated with this remedy.

This remedy can also relieve urinary pain and polyuria.
