Ranunculus bulbosus is a homeopathic remedy prepared from buttercup. It is mainly in European meadows that this perennial plant proliferates. The whole plant is useful in the manufacture of this remedy. Ranunculus bulbosus is recommended in cases of dermatological diseases of viral origin. However, it also helps to cure other diseases and alleviate different types of pain.
Indications in infectiology
Dermatological diseases caused by viruses such as shingles, chickenpox or herpes are the main indications for Ranunculus bulbosus. These skin conditions are characterized by eruptions of small blisters arranged in clusters and bluish in the case of shingles. In the case of chickenpox, the yellowish fluid present in the vesicles is exteriorized to give way to a crust. These rashes are accompanied by a burning sensation on the skin. They are often found in the path of the nerves.
ENT indications
In ENT, headaches caused by temperature variations are an indication of Ranunculus bulbosus. These are headaches accompanied by eye pain and a feeling of heaviness in the head.

Allergic rhinitis with inflammation of the nasal passages and tingling of the nasal walls is also treated with Ranunculus bulbosus.
Treatment of different types of pain with Ranunculus bulbosus
The pain relieved by Ranunculus bulbosus is mainly that which is exacerbated by a drop in temperature and that which increases in intensity when stretching or during a simple movement. Pain that is sensitive on palpation, as well as pain that increases in intensity in the evening, is also indicative of Ranunculus bulbosus. This pain can be located in the face, arms, chest, pit of the stomach, right hypochondrium, back or in the sciatic region. Facial pain is mainly manifested by tingling.
