Angustura vera is a homeopathic remedy of plant origin. Its mother tincture is extracted from a plant belonging to the Rutaceae family. It is the true angusture which is a tree from South America. This name is given in contrast to false angusture, which is a poison obtained from the vomit tree, a shrub from India. The true angusture is a tree with green and palmate leaves, which can reach 15 meters in height. For the manufacture of the homeopathic remedy Angustura vera, the bark taken from previously dried stems of true angusture is mainly used. This mother tincture is composed mainly of alkaloid and essential oil.
Rheumatology
Angustura vera is a homeopathic remedy mainly indicated in cases of low back pain. This rheumatic pathology is manifested by pain in the spine, especially in the lower back. Indeed, Angustura vera is a remedy used for sensations of muscle stiffness or contracture, cramps and spasmodic pain. It is suitable for everything related to back pain and can also be prescribed in case of lower limb damage. The knee is most often affected, especially in the case of physical exertion after a long period of inactivity.
Angustura vera is also an effective remedy for osteoarthritis. This condition mainly affects the most stressed joints, namely the knee, back and hip. Finally, Angustura vera can also relieve aches and pains, which often result from poor support, poor posture or a long motorcycle ride for example. The use of this homeopathic remedy is particularly justified in case of symptoms that improve by cold applications or stretching. On the other hand, pressure on the affected part of the body, as well as rest are aggravating factors.
