Staphysagria
Staphysagria (stavesacre)
Staphysagria is a deep homeopathic remedy for the effects of suppressed anger, indignation and humiliation — a sensitive person who holds in their feelings — and is also much used for styes, recurrent urinary complaints and clean incised wounds.
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.
