ECBALLIUM ELATERINUM GLOBULI LM 6 - LM 30

Ecballium elaterinum, also known as the squirting cucumber, is a plant found in the Mediterranean regions of Europe and North Africa. It belongs to the gourd family (Cucurbitaceae) and is characterized by its striking yellow flowers and distinctive, squirting fruits.

The squirting cucumber gets its name from the ability of its ripe fruits to eject a kind of water jet when touched or pressed, which widely disperses the seeds. In antiquity, the plant was already mentioned for its unusual properties, and it is also valued in modern naturopathy due to its special characteristics.

Traditionally, Ecballium elaterinum is used in homeopathy, particularly in dilutions such as globules. The areas of application are widely documented. It is often used for complaints related to digestion, skin, or respiratory issues. However, the exact effects are not considered definitively proven.
