IGNATIA GLOBULI C/D 13 - C/D 30

Ignatia amara, commonly known as St. Ignatius Bean, is the seed of the Ignatia amara tree, primarily found in the tropical regions of South America, particularly in the Philippines. The bean has a long history in traditional medicine and is frequently used in homeopathy.

The St. Ignatius Bean is known for its psychoactive effects. The alkaloids it contains, especially strychnine and brucine, affect the central nervous system, which is why it was historically considered a neurotoxin. However, in small doses, the plant has found its place in alternative medicine and is particularly used for emotional and psychological complaints.

In homeopathy, Ignatia is traditionally used to support emotional states such as grief, stress, and nervousness. Furthermore, it is sometimes used for sleep disorders and mood swings. It is usually applied in the form of globules or dilutions, with the preparation tailored to the individual needs of the patient.
