Arsenicum album is one of the principal remedies from the great family of homeopathic medicines. As a matter of fact, it has many uses for many pathologies.
It can be used in granule or drop form or in mixed compositions prepared by various companies. For information on assumption of homeopathic remedies, refer to the specific link in the main menu FAQ Homeopathy.
Dosage
The standard dosage is usually 3 granules (or 5 to 6 drops) to be taken twice a day.
Since Arsenicum album is also a constitutional remedy, and is often found among very similar remedies, a homeopathic doctor may prescribe a very long term treatment (for example, one dose each month or every two months).
Arsenicum album is one of the remedies with the strongest detoxifying value. In the case of Arsenic intoxication (that can be detected with the Mineralogram) or by other toxic minerals, a weekly dose of Arsenicum album may be prescribed.
In acute phases, however, the medicine may even be taken every 10-20 minutes, reducing the frequency of assumption as the patient starts to feel better.
Duration
The duration of the treatment can be long (in the case of chronic or recurring forms) and usually this treatment is prescribed by a doctor. When taken without medical supervision, a patient should seek a doctor’s advice before using this remedy for periods longer than one month.
