SANTONINUMLiquid

Santoninum (Santonin) is a homoeopathic medicine derived from the active principle of Santonica—the unexpanded flower heads of Artemisia Maritima (also known as Cina). Traditionally valued for its anthelmintic (anti-worm) properties, Santoninum is especially useful in treating worm infestations and related gastrointestinal, urinary, and neurological symptoms- partial paralysis of left side, restlessness and flushed face. It is also known for its action on the eyes and the urinary tract, with great prostration making it a versatile medicine in pediatric and chronic cases.
