Veratrum Album is a homeopathic remedy used in several branches of medicine.

It is extracted from the rhizomes of the white hellebore, also known as white veratre.

Veratrum Album is used to treat stomach disorders and certain gynaecological conditions, as well as spasmophilus.

It should be used with extreme caution, as the plant is poisonous.

Food poisoning

If food poisoning is the cause of gastroenteritis, alarming signs such as acute, severe diarrhoea indicate that Veratrum Album should be given to the infected person.

This homeopathic remedy is particularly recommended for food poisoning caused by the consumption of seafood, fish and shellfish.

The warning signs are sometimes accompanied by a feeling of cold all over the body with a feeling of fullness in the stomach.

Dysmenorrhoea

If menstruation is painful or flows in an unusual way, Veratrum Album can restore balance.

However, it is advisable to take it from the first day of menstruation to avoid discomfort.

Veratrum Album can also be taken when menstrual cramps cause a person to lean back in order to feel better.

Diarrhoea caused by Turista

La turista is a disease usually contracted in tropical countries.

It is characterised by painful and frequent diarrhoea associated with nausea and vomiting.

Nicknamed "traveller's diarrhoea", turista is treated with Veratrum Album from the first symptoms.
