It works on inflammatory, weeping, itchy eczema caused by allergic reactions to detergents or medication or insect bites. Cardiospermum is also used for neurodermatitis and psoriasis as well as for minor burns.

Cardiospermum in pregnancy
As a result of a weakened immune system during pregnancy, allergic reactions or aggravation of allergies occur more frequently in pregnant women. In particular, allergy-related skin irritations with itching and blistering can be successfully treated with Cardiospermum.
The drug can be used at any stage of pregnancy and often replaces the administration of cortisone. Good results are achieved in combination with the homeopathic Apis and external use with a homeopathic Cardiospermum ointment.
