This is general information about a homeopathic remedy, not a prescription or dosing advice. In homeopathy the correct remedy and potency are chosen for the whole individual symptom picture by a qualified homeopath — the same remedy is not right for everyone. Do not self-medicate, and consult a qualified homeopathic doctor (and your physician for serious or persistent conditions) before taking any remedy.

Potency
Cocculus Indicus is available in several potencies such as 6C, 30C and 200C, as well as lower and mother-tincture forms in some cases. The right potency and repetition depend entirely on the individual case and are decided by a qualified homeopath - this page gives no dosing instructions.
The Cocculus picture and modalities
Cocculus Indicus centres on nausea and vertigo from motion - the classic traveller who feels sick and giddy in a moving vehicle - together with a striking sensitivity to loss of sleep and night-watching. The person feels hollow, empty, and weak, is worse from the smell or thought of food, and cannot be hurried. It is a well-known remedy for the worn-out caregiver. A homeopath reads the motion and sleep-loss modalities within the whole constitution.
Before you consider Cocculus
This is materia-medica information, not advice to self-treat. Persistent vertigo, severe or recurring nausea, and profound exhaustion can have causes that need medical assessment rather than being assumed to be a remedy picture. In homeopathy the correct remedy and potency are chosen for the whole individual by a qualified practitioner, and the same remedy is not right for everyone. Homeopathy should complement, not replace, conventional care.
