Coffea cruda is a remedy used in homeopathy to combat neurological disorders associated with cerebral hyperactivity, hypersensitivity or hyperideation, a condition characterised by an excessive abundance of ideas.

Coffea cruda is a plant extract obtained by maceration of unroasted green coffee beans.

However, it is worth noting that a second homeopathic remedy made from coffee can also be used to treat the above-mentioned disorders.

Known as Coffea tosta, this remedy is obtained by macerating roasted coffee beans and is particularly suitable for people who do not respond well to Coffea cruda.

Many people often wonder how a remedy made from coffee can be indicated for insomnia, brain overactivity and restlessness.

Caffeine is well known for its stimulating properties, and is indeed used in the vast majority of cases to help people stay awake.

In order to better understand how Coffea cruda works, we need to remember the principle of similarity, which is one of the foundations of homeopathy.

If we consider that a pathology should be treated with a substance capable of producing symptoms similar to those caused by the same pathology, we can understand much better how coffee can treat insomnia and neurological disorders when administered in infinitesimal doses.

Neurology

Thanks to its calming properties, Coffea cruda is particularly indicated for acute or chronic insomnia caused by excessive brain activity.

It helps people who can't stop thinking to fall asleep, so that they are no longer disturbed by the abundance of ideas that normally keep them awake.

Coffea cruda can also be recommended for the treatment of behavioural disorders in optimistic, euphoric or even irritable people.

Pain

As far as pain is concerned, it will help hypersensitive people to tolerate it better in the case of peripheral neuralgia, uterine contractions (labour) and toothache.

Finally, it is worth knowing that Coffea cruda can be used to relieve headaches caused by very intense intellectual effort, which are aggravated in the open air.

More generally, it can also be used to relieve headaches accompanied by a burning sensation in the face.

Gynaecology

In gynaecology, Coffea cruda is mainly used to treat vulvar pruritus, a condition characterised by intense itching of the vulva.

In relation to pain associated with childbirth, Coffea cruda is used to relieve the uterine furrows that can sometimes occur shortly after delivery.
