I have used Arsenicum Album successfully for family with cases of horrid food poisonings when ‘it’s coming out at both ends’, as well as stomach issues. This remedy has a great affinity for the stomach and gastrointestinal issues. In my experience it has very quickly resolved vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach pains.
It is also a top go-to remedy for anxieties, when the person has many anxieties and fears, from worrying about their health, fear of cancer, fear of disease or illness, worrying for the sake of worry.
It is highly indicated for asthma attacks. As a young student, I had heard from homeopaths who used it successfully to treat asthma and when my (then-3 year old) had an unexpected asthma attack at around 1am, he couldn’t breathe and this caused further panic, I gave him 1 pill of Arsenicum 10m which resolved his attack.
I have use it very successfully in cases of panic attacks with high anxiety, where it helped the patient to quickly calm down.
Arsenicum is indicated in those with O.C.D., those who have a perfectionistic nature, and a strong desire for order, control and cleanliness may really benefit from this remedy. Arsenicum can be beneficial for symptoms characterised by burning pains, weakness and a chilly sensation.
I always use the guidelines of matching the energy of the person, or circumstances with the potency: meaning I will use a higher potency like 200c or 10m in emergencies, and a lower potency like 30c for longer term and more frequent use. For example 30c twice per day for 1 month in helping someone to improve their calmness and reduce anxieties.
