Ratanhia is a homeopathic remedy derived from the shrub of the same name, ratanhia, a plant in the Leguminosae family.
Ratanhia is native to Central America, Peru and the West Indies.
It is mainly the roots of the plant that are used to make the medicine.
Proctology
Thanks to the antimicrobial properties of its active ingredient, the homeopathic remedy Ratanhia can treat intestinal pathologies of the rectum and anus.
It is particularly suitable for treating enteritis, an inflammation of the small intestine.
This condition is often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain and blood in the stool.
Ratanhia is also used to treat constipation, which is accompanied by difficulty in defecating.
Hard stools often cause itching or pain in the rectum, which can be relieved by this remedy.
Finally, Ratanhia is also recommended as a local treatment for complications such as haemorrhoids.
The homeopathic remedy can treat anal fissures and reduce anal sphincter contractions.
Gynaecology and obstetrics
Ratanhia homeopathy is also recommended by gynaecologists for vulvar or vaginal itching.
This homeopathic remedy helps to stop the skin condition and relieve itching.
In obstetrics, Ratanhia accompanies pregnant women during the pregnancy period, more precisely to help them overcome certain inconveniences.
It is also used to treat haemorrhoids and to relieve the sensation of heavy legs.
Presented as an ointment, Ratanhia can be applied daily to the nipples to treat cracks or stretch marks.
