Ratanhia is a homeopathic remedy derived from a shrub of the same name, Ratanhia, which is a plant belonging to the Leguminosae family. The Ratanhia comes from Central America, as well as Peru and the West Indies. For the manufacture of the remedy, the roots of the plant are mainly used.
Thanks
to the antimicrobial properties of its active ingredient, the homeopathic remedy Ratanhia can be used to treat intestinal pathologies of the rectum and anus. It is particularly suitable for the treatment of enteritis, which is an inflammation of the small intestine. This condition is often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, pain in the stomach and blood in the stool.
Ratanhia also helps to remedy constipation which is accompanied by difficulty in expelling feces. Hard stools often cause itching or pain in the rectum that can be alleviated by the remedy. Finally, Ratanhia is also recommended as a local treatment in case of complications, i.e. when there is an appearance of hemorrhoids. The homeopathic remedy can be used to treat anal fissures and reduce sphincter contractions of the anus.
Gynaecology and Obstetrics
Ratanhia homeopathy is also recommended by gynaecologists in cases of vulvar or vaginal pruritus. This homeopathic remedy helps to stop the skin condition and calm the itching. In obstetrics, Ratanhia accompanies the pregnant woman during the pregnancy period, more precisely to help her overcome certain inconveniences. While it can treat hemorrhoids, it is also suitable for remedying feelings of heavy legs. Presented in the form of an ointment, Ratanhia can be applied daily to the nipples in case of cracks or to fight stretch marks.
Recommended dosages
In case of constipation problems, Ratanhia 15 CH is recommended once a day. For the treatment of hemorrhoids, Ratanhia 7 CH or Ratanhia 9 CH should be prescribed, depending on the severity of the symptoms, at a rate of 4 to 6 doses per day. It is also possible to administer drops in dilution of 6 DH, 2 times a day, at a rate of 20 drops per dose. It is advisable to take them before lunch and dinner. If haemorrhoids occur during or after defecation, Ratanhia 5 CH should be used, at a rate of 3 granules per dose, for 3 or 4 doses per day.
The homeopathic remedy Ratanhia also comes in the form of an ointment that can be applied daily to the anal area to reduce pain or itching, heal cracks and reduce chapped nipples. In any case, if the symptoms persist and do not fade with the remedy, it is essential to consult a doctor. The same is true in the case of bleeding for individuals aged 50 and over.
