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 Hypericum Perforatum is used for
- Injuries to nerve-rich parts (fingertips, toes, nails)
- Coccyx (tailbone) and spinal injuries after falls
- Puncture wounds and lacerations with nerve pain
- Shooting, shock-like pains along nerves
- Pain after dental work or surgery
Characteristic symptom picture
Homeopaths look for these guiding features when considering Hypericum Perforatum.
- Injuries to areas rich in nerves

- Pain out of proportion to the injury
- Coccyx pain after a fall on the spine
- Excessive painfulness of the injured part
Potency
Hypericum is commonly used in 30C and 200C; potency selection is a clinical decision for your homeopath.
The characteristic picture & modalities
Hypericum's defining picture is injury to nerves and nerve-rich parts — crushed fingertips, toes and nails, a fall on the coccyx or spine, and puncture wounds. Its keynote is shooting, shock-like pain that travels upward along the course of the nerve, often with pain that feels out of all proportion to the injury and an excessive painfulness of the hurt part. It is the great remedy considered after sharp trauma to sensitive tissue. This is a recognisable injury pattern, not a diagnosis, and it fits only some situations that genuinely mirror it.
Before you take Hypericum Perforatum
This page is informational background, not a prescription. The remedy and potency in homeopathy are matched to the whole individual and the specific injury by a qualified homeopath — never chosen by reading keynotes alone, and never by self-selecting a potency. Significant injuries deserve medical attention: deep or dirty puncture wounds, a possible fracture, spinal trauma, spreading infection, or a wound where a tetanus update may be needed. Use this only to learn the remedy's traditional picture, and seek prompt professional assessment for serious or persistent symptoms.
