LEONUORUS CARDICA - DL

Indication

Leonurus cardiaca is a valuable homoeopathic medicine prepared from the fresh plant of Leonurus cardiac of Labiatae (Mint family), known for its action on the gastrointestinal tract, mucous membranes, and circulatory system. It is especially indicated in conditions involving dysentery, intestinal hemorrhage, and gastric irritation. Characterized by dryness of the mucous membranes, cracked tongue, and bloody stools, it is particularly beneficial in acute gastrointestinal infections with violent abdominal pain, retching, and sensitivity to touch.
