Cuprum metallicum is a homeopathic remedy obtained from copper, one of the few metals that has long been used by humans to treat many pathologies. Indeed, in low doses, copper is an essential trace element, necessary for the formation of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Presented in the form of trituration and granule, Cuprum metallicum is used to treat various spasmodic pathologies.
Gastroenterology Indications
In gastroenterology, Cuprum metallicum is indicated for the treatment of spasmodic colic, especially if the patient suffers from stomach cramps with severe spasmodic pain sometimes accompanied by bloating, which is usually relieved by swallowing cold water. Esophagus spasms and hiccups can also be treated with Cuprum metallicum as well as very watery diarrhoea with abdominal cramps.
Indications in pulmonology

Dosage in case of gastroenteritis disorders
In case of watery diarrhoea, it is advisable to take 5 granules of Cuprum metallicum 9 CH after each bowel movement until the stools return to normal. However, to compensate for the water losses caused by diarrhoea, it is necessary to drink sugary and mineral-rich drinks.

Spasmophilic attacks, often leading to behavioral disorders, should be treated with 5 granules of Cuprum metallicum 15 CH per day, a dose to be renewed at each attack. For more effectiveness, treatment should be started as soon as the first symptoms appear.
