SECALE CORNUTUMLiquid

Secale cornutum, also known as Spurred Rye or Ergot, is a powerful homoeopathic medicine derived from the fungus Claviceps purpurea, which infects rye grains. It acts profoundly on unstriped muscular fibers, producing a general constriction, vascular collapse, and anemic states marked by coldness, numbness, and a tendency to gangrene. Particularly suited to thin, elderly, scrawny women and individuals who feel better from cold despite icy extremities, it supports recovery in cases marked by persistent hemorrhage, muscle twitching, and progressive emaciation.
