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 Psorinum is used for

  • Extreme chilliness, needing to wrap up even in warmth
  • Unhealthy skin with intense itching, worse from warmth of bed
  • A run-down, debilitated, susceptible state
  • Offensive-smelling discharges and sweat
  • Despair or hopelessness about getting well

Characteristic symptom picture

Homeopaths look for these guiding features when considering Psorinum.

  • Chilly beyond what the weather warrants
  • Itching skin worse from the warmth of the bed
  • A feeling of hopelessness about recovery
  • Marked weakness after acute illness
  • Everything about the person tends to be offensive in odour

Potency

Psorinum is available in several potencies such as 6C, 30C and 200C, and in lower or 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 Psorinum picture and modalities

Psorinum is a deep constitutional nosode marked above all by chilliness and depletion. The person wraps up even in warm weather, the skin is unhealthy and intensely itchy - worse from the warmth of the bed - discharges and sweat are offensive, and there is a despondent sense of hopelessness about ever getting well, often after a draining illness. A homeopath uses it constitutionally, reading this chilly, run-down, despairing pattern within the whole person.

Before you consider Psorinum

This is background information, not advice to self-treat, and a nosode is not a vaccine or a treatment for infection. Persistent skin disease, marked weakness, and low mood all deserve medical assessment. In homeopathy this remedy is chosen constitutionally by a qualified practitioner, and the same remedy is not right for everyone. Homeopathy should complement, not replace, conventional care.
