What is Fucus vesiculosus?
Due to the high iodine content, Fucus vesiculosus has a stimulating effect on the thyroid gland. The homeopathic remedy increases the body’s basal metabolic rate and is therefore used for overweight. It is also used for swollen lymph nodes, arteriosclerosis and skin tuberculosis. The remedy should not be taken independently. It is necessary to check the thyroid levels regularly both before and during therapy with Fucus vesiculosus.
