Cantharis — Mother Tincture (Ø) (Allen)

Cantharis — raw, burning, blistering pain, intensely worse for the least touch; the classic burn and scald remedy, also burning urination.

Traditionally reached for

• a burn or scald once the skin is unbroken (external Ø, well diluted)
• a prickly-heat type eruption that burns and stings

Classical materia medica reference (Boericke, 1927). Not a prescription or a diagnosis — for anything serious or persistent, also see a doctor. Full remedy picture →
