FILIX MASLiquid

Filix mas is a powerful homoeopathic medicine prepared from the fresh root of Male Fern, a member of the Filices (Fern family). It is particularly known for its anthelmintic action, especially in cases of tapeworm infestation, and also for its influence on the gastrointestinal tract, optic nerves, reproductive organs, and nervous system. This medicine is suited to conditions involving cramping, bloating, confusion, and nervous stupor, as well as menstrual irregularities and weakness following parasitic infections. The action of Filix mas extends to states of mental dullness, visual disturbances, and violent gastroenteric reactions, often presenting after ingesting contaminated food or during deworming assistment. It is a multi-system medicine, indicated in both acute parasitic expulsion and chronic constitutional weakness.

Common Name: Sarakhs, Male Fern
