So today I am going to write about my favorite medicine Sanicula. It helped to treat cases of children with recurrent allergies, constipation, worms, skin issues with behavioral problems like ADHD etc
DR SARKAR : Sanicula patients are hot like Sulphur + perspiration like Silica + cravings like Calcarea carb. Overall, Sanicula is like Calcarea phos, restless and affectionate. This remedy should be given when there is a history of ringworm, or a strong concomitant of constipation in addition to all of the above mentioned.
It resembles like tub, silica, calc, phos, arsenic, iodum, borax, mag, kali , baryta, tarentula etc so its little bit of all this remedy.
