Indications

(From the anthroposophic and homeopathic literature and from clinical experience):

Physical complaints:

  • Painful periods
  • Relief of pre -menstrual tension
  • Excessive period bleeding

Additional anthroposophic comments:

Rudolf Steiner points out that when the part of the Ego organization that is specifically responsible for the reproductive tract is not active enough in order to regulate the life forces, the etheric body, excessive bleeding, headaches and other feelings of discomfort can appear. Tormentilla root “in high dilution” can help to assist this Ego organization and relieve the symptoms.
