Thanks to the red ant, homeopathy has been able to provide another remedy to treat disorders affecting patients in urology and rheumatology. Formica Rufa is the homeopathic medicine that is extracted from this species of ant, which can be found in the forest as well as in most parks where conifers grow. The red ant is special in that it protects these trees from other insects that can be harmful to them by devouring them. Urinary problems such as cystitis and gout attacks in rheumatology are the two main conditions treated by Formica Rufa.
Main indications in rheumatology Rheumatic
crises can be accompanied by other symptoms thanks to which the doctor can identify the pathology and recommend Formica Rufa homeopathy. Patients suffering from rheumatism sometimes experience pain or spasms, especially because of the drop in temperature or the ambient humidity, otherwise when the climate is less clement. These symptoms can also occur when they wash with cold water.
Some peaks of rheumatic pain are so sudden that the patient is suddenly agitated. However, the pain increases with his movements and fades when he exerts a little pressure on the sore areas. These rheumatism disorders sometimes become very painful when in contact with cold water.
In some cases of rheumatism, the patient may even be the victim of dropsy, which is nothing more than a serous effusion in one of the body's natural cavities or between the connective membranes.
Main indications in urology
Formica Rufa is indicated for the treatment of certain urinary tract infections that cause many pathological disorders such as the presence of albumin in the urine or the emission of bloody urine. In some patients, the bladder is paralyzed and they sometimes have chronic nephritis. Their condition results in smelly urination, especially at night with blood in the urine.
Formica Rufa will also be able to treat a patient with pyelonephritis, which is a bacterial infection of the urinary system, which can become complicated and contaminate the lower urinary tract if no treatment is prescribed as soon as possible. In this type of urinary pathology, the patient feels burns when urinating and yet he feels a frequent need to go to the toilet.
Formica Rufa homeopathy also treats hydronephrosis which is characterized by an increase in the pelvis and kidneys that has the effect of hindering the normal flow of urine. In some cases, morning urination can cause a prolonged erection and itching in the scrotum.

In case of cystitis, the patient should be treated with 1 granule of Formica Rufa 5 CH combined with Cantaris 5 CH and Mercurius Corrosivus 7CH, 1 granule of each also every quarter of an hour.
If the urinary tract infection occurs during pregnancy, Formica Rufa 5 CH should be given in combination with Sepia 9 CH and Colibacillium 5 CH, at a rate of two granules of each, three times a day.
In the case of chronic colibacillosis leading to ulceration of the intestines or sudden constipation, the patient can be treated with Formica Rufa D3.
