The homeopathic remedy Hypericum, obtained from the mother tincture of Hypericum perforatum, is suitable for those suffering from depression, but also for trauma and pain. Let’s find out better.
The Hypericum homeopathic remedy is obtained from the tincture of the whole fresh flowering plant of Hypericum perforatum and from subsequent dilutions and dynamizations in a hydroalcoholic solution.
The color, on the other hand, derives from hypericin, a substance of which the flower is rich. The fruits are oval capsules which open when ripe, revealing the cylindrical black or dark brown seeds.
Today the plant is recognized with various therapeutic properties, including inflammatory, antiseptic, healing, analgesic, diuretic, purifying, antioxidant, vasoprotective properties, but above all its antidepressant activity is known. The antidepressant property of hypericum is attributable to the content of substances such as hypericin, hyperforin and some classes of flavonoids, particularly present in the leaves and flowering tops.
The combined action of these substances favors the increase of serotonin levels in the central nervous system, thus stimulating a biological antidepressant activity, which counteracts mood disorders and helps restore emotional balance.
