Antimonium Tartaricum is a homeopathic remedy based on the double tartrate of potassium and antimony, obtained from sodium antimoniotartrate (which is a chemical).
This homeopathic strain corresponds to one of the most important antimony salts that can exist and be used.
Pneumology
One of the main therapeutic indications for Antimonium Tartaricum is pulmonology.
This homeopathic remedy can be used to relieve bronchiolitis, chronic respiratory insufficiency, asthma, chronic bronchitis, acute bronchitis and airway congestion following abdominal surgery.
Antimonium tartaricum is most indicated when these conditions are associated with the following criteria:
- The person has audible breathing difficulties due to excessive mucus in the lung alveoli and bronchi, which then become congested.
- There is no or weak expectoration when coughing.
- The tongue is observed to be coated with a thick, whitish, milky, calcareous saburra.
Antimonium Tartaricum is also indicated for more advanced conditions.
These conditions are manifested by bluish circles under the eyes, cyanosis of the lips and movement of the nose when breathing.
Dermatological and other indications
Antimonium Tartaricum has healing properties, hence the great interest in using it to alleviate and treat certain dermatological conditions.
In dermatology, this homeopathic remedy is primarily indicated for the treatment of chickenpox, purulent and pustular acne (especially if it is almost permanently bluish) and other eruptions.
