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
Ruta is commonly used in 30C and 200C; potency selection is a clinical decision for your homeopath.
The characteristic picture & modalities
Ruta Graveolens, from the herb rue, is a leading picture for injuries to tendons, ligaments and the covering of bones (periosteum), such as strains, sprains and bruised bone. The keynote is a deep, bruised, sore, lame feeling, with the affected part feeling weak and tired, and a restlessness that drives the person to keep shifting it. It also suits eye strain from close or computer work, and sciatica or lameness from over-exertion. Cold, damp and over-exertion worsen it. This recognisable pattern fits some cases; it is not a diagnosis.
Before you take Ruta Graveolens
In homeopathy the remedy and potency are individualised to the whole person by a qualified homeopath, not chosen from a strain or sore eyes alone. This page is background reading rather than a prescription, and it should not guide self-medication or potency choice. A significant injury, possible fracture, or joint that will not bear weight needs medical assessment, and persistent visual symptoms should be checked. For severe or lasting complaints, seek a clinical evaluation first and let your homeopath confirm whether this picture truly matches you.
