IRIS TENAX - DL

Indication

Iris tenax, a homoeopathic medicine, is derived from the tincture of the lower or bulbous stems or the whole plant of Iris tenax, a species native to Oregon. Belonging to the Iridaceae family, it grows luxuriantly in clay ground and on hillsides. Traditionally known for its strong fibers used by Indigenous people for making cord and weaving, it holds therapeutic value in homoeopathy for addressing various conditions involving the digestive system, nervous system, and emotional well-being.
