Remedy Spotlight: Rhus toxicodendron
Commonly known as Rhus tox, this remedy is made from poison ivy — but in homeopathy, it becomes a valuable support for muscle aches, joint pain, and skin issues.
Here are some key facts about Rhus tox:
– A top remedy for stiff, sore joints and muscles, especially when the pain is worse on first movement but improves with continued motion.
– Often used in sprains, strains, or overexertion, such as after lifting, gardening, or intense activity.
– Helpful for arthritis or rheumatic complaints, particularly when cold, damp weather makes things worse.
– Useful in restlessness with pain – when a person can’t get comfortable and keeps shifting to find relief.
– Also well-known for itchy, red, blistering skin rashes that may be caused by contact dermatitis, chickenpox, or shingles.
– Symptoms are usually worse from cold and damp, and better from warmth and gentle movement.
Rhus tox is one of those must-have remedies for active people, recovery from injuries, and irritated skin.
