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.

The characteristic picture & modalities
Physostigma Venenosum, from the Calabar bean, centres on the eyes and nervous system. Its typical picture is eye strain with tired, aching eyes after close work, vision complaints linked to spasm or weakness of accommodation, and muscular twitching, jerking and trembling. There is heightened sensitivity and irritability, nervous prostration and tension, and the classical description includes contracted pupils. Exertion and excitement tend to make things worse. This is a recognisable constellation that suits some people; it remains a symptom pattern rather than a diagnosis, and many with eye fatigue will not fit it.
Before you take Physostigma Venenosum
A qualified homeopath matches the remedy and potency to your whole individual picture, not to eye strain or twitching alone. This page offers background information and is not a prescription; please do not use it to self-medicate or to choose a potency yourself. Persistent visual symptoms deserve examination by an eye specialist, and ongoing muscular twitching or trembling should be assessed medically. For any severe, sudden or lasting complaint, seek a proper clinical evaluation first, and let your homeopath confirm whether this remedy genuinely suits you.
