🎯 A powerful homeopathic antiseptic used to treat severe septic states and infections characterized by intense restlessness and offensive discharges.
📖 Boericke writes:
This remedy was introduced by English Homeopathists, prepared from decomposed lean beef allowed to stand in the sun for two weeks and then potentized. The provings and most of the clinical experience have been obtained from this preparation. But, subsequently, Dr. Swan potentized some septic pus, which preparation has also been proved and clinically applied. There does not seem to be any marked difference in their effects.
