COCCUS CACTI GLOBULI C/D 100 - C/D 500

Coccus cacti, also known as cochineal, is an insect native to Mexico that lives on cacti and produces its characteristic red dyes there. These small beetles are primarily known for the extraction of carmine, a natural dye used in food and cosmetics.

Cochineal has a long history of traditional use, dating back to the Aztecs. They created a red dye from the dried insects, which was used for textiles and painting. In homeopathy, the raw material is often processed into globules or dilutions.

Traditionally, Coccus cacti is used in homeopathy to treat various ailments. These include symptoms associated with respiratory diseases, as well as to relieve coughs and support the immune system.
