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.
What Conium Maculatum is used for
- Vertigo on turning the head or lying down
- Hardness or induration of glands

Characteristic symptom picture
Homeopaths look for these guiding features when considering Conium Maculatum.

- Ascending, gradual weakness/paralysis
- Worse from sexual excess or suppression
- Better from movement and pressure
Potency
Conium is commonly referenced in 30C and 200C; potency selection is a clinical decision for your homeopath.
The characteristic picture & modalities
Conium Maculatum, from poison hemlock, is recognised by vertigo that comes on from turning the head or simply lying down and rolling over in bed. The classical picture adds hard, stony glandular swellings and a gradual, ascending weakness most often seen in older people, with numbness of the limbs. Movement and firm pressure tend to ease it, and it is sometimes linked with effects of suppressed sexuality. This is a recognisable pattern that fits some individuals; it is not a diagnosis and does not match everyone with vertigo or a lump.
Before you take Conium Maculatum
In homeopathy the remedy and potency are matched to the whole individual by a qualified homeopath, not to a single symptom such as dizziness or a gland. This page is background reading, not a prescription, and it should not be used to self-select a remedy or decide a potency. Persistent or positional vertigo, and any lump that is hard, growing or changing, always need proper medical assessment first. If your symptoms are severe, sudden or ongoing, seek a clinical evaluation rather than relying on a remedy picture alone.
