Chimaphila Umbellata is a homeopathic remedy obtained from umbel pyrole, also known as "pissing grass". This plant proliferates mainly in North America and is easily recognizable thanks to its small size, around 20 to 40cm in height. Once prepared, Chimaphila Umbellata becomes a very effective homeopathic remedy for the treatment of urinary disorders. However, the range of effectiveness of this remedy extends to the upper parts of the bladder. To obtain Chimaphila Umbellata syrup, the leaves of the plant are crushed and then macerated for 36 hours in 8 ounces of water. Once a pint of the product is obtained, it should be allowed to evaporate to half its volume and then add about 250g of sugar.

The indications of Chimaphila Umbellata in urology

These problems can manifest themselves as difficulty urinating, or the presence of mucus and pus in the urine. However, this medication is also indicated in case of a feeling of heaviness in the prostate, which usually signals swelling of the organ.

This pathology results in an abnormal secretion through the walls of the bladder lining.
