DACTYLOPIUS COCCUS DILUTION C/D 13 - C/D 30

The raw material Dactylopius coccus is a small, red cochineal insect found mainly in Mexico and the Canary Islands. This insect lives on cactus species and forms small, round, red-colored nodules that adhere to the plants.

The cochineal insect has played a significant role throughout history, particularly in the textile industry, where its dye, carmine, was used to color fabrics. Furthermore, it is also used in the food industry to give food and beverages an appealing red color. The harvesting and processing of this insect are traditionally done and represent a craft deeply rooted in the culture of the regions where it is found.

In homeopathy, Dactylopius coccus is traditionally used for:

• Skin conditions
• Allergic reactions
• Digestive system disorders

Its use in homeopathy is based on the dilution and potentization of the raw material, allowing its properties to be applied gently.
