Apart from its disinfectant properties, it has many medicinal properties, but its preferred field remains infectiology. Baptisia tinctoria is known for the prevention and treatment of many infectious diseases in children. For the manufacture of the homeopathic remedy, the root and the bottom of the stem are mainly used.
Indications in infectiology
The homeopathic remedy Baptisia tinctoria is recommended in case of intestinal flu and is also suitable in the majority of cases of intestinal infections. It is particularly indicated for the treatment of infectious diseases that are accompanied by a very specific set of symptoms: strong breath, frequent urination, diarrhea accompanied by a foul odor and profuse sweating.
In addition, the patient has a very high fever, accompanied by a deep physical depression. Its tongue is dry, cracked and yellowish in colour. This makes it the ideal remedy for the treatment of influenza and typhoid fever. Baptisia tinctoria can also be used in case of throat infection, as part of bacterial angina. This homeopathic medicine treats inflammation of the mucous membrane of the pharynx, while remedying pain that often leads to difficulty swallowing.
