OLEUM ANIMALELiquid

Oleum animale, commonly known as Dippel’s Animal Oil, is a deep-acting homoeopathic medicine prepared from animal oil through distillation. It acts powerfully on the nervous system, particularly the pneumo-gastric (vagus nerve) region, making it useful in conditions involving nerve pain, migraine, and spasmodic sensations. It is noted for its distinctive “pulled upward” and “from behind forward” types of pain, especially in the face and reproductive organs. This medicine is suitable for both chronic and acute complaints involving the respiratory system, urinary tract, gastrointestinal organs, and sexual health.
