What is opium?
Homeopathy uses opium for extremely contrasting ailments. Examples of this are insomnia and lethargy, insensitivity and hypersensitivity of the sense organs (smell, taste, feeling) as well as the treatment of extreme alcohol intoxication and the support of alcohol withdrawal.
Furthermore, opium is used for paralysis after a stroke and against constipation. The triggers for suffering are either positive feelings, such as excessive joy, or negative feelings, such as anger, shame, and shock. While heat, sleep, and the time after sleep make symptoms worse, cool surroundings and exercise improve them.

- Insensitive to pain
- Deep sleep with snoring and sweating, hard to wake up
- Discomfort after a shock or head injury

Information about the agent
How do you recognize patients who need homeopathic opium?
According to its different application effects, opium is used in two groups of patients: some are listless, apathetic and insensitive to pain; the others are prone to hyperactivity, hypersensitivity, and insomnia. Sleep is either numb and accompanied by rattling breathing and snoring, or does not come at all with increased hearing. Social behavior is characterized either by extreme joylessness and indifference or by great cheerfulness and talkativeness.
Those affected are jumpy and suffer from delusions, during which they do not even recognize people in their immediate vicinity. Smell and appetite are either lost or increase to extreme sensitivity and constant cravings. The most noticeable symptoms are half-closed eyelids, a drooping lower jaw and extreme congestion in the head area. Another opium characteristic is constipation with abdominal distension, intestinal pains, and absent or receding stools that are formed into small, hard, black balls.
