Have you ever felt bloated after just a few bites, or noticed your confidence dip before a big event? Do you find yourself craving sweets, feeling irritable, or struggling with self-doubt — especially in the late afternoon? If so, Lycopodium might be worth exploring.
This remedy, derived from club moss, is often used in homeopathy to support:
-Digestive health: bloating, flatulence, sluggish digestion, and discomfort after eating
-Emotional balance: nervous anticipation, fear of failure, and low self-esteem
Lycopodium suits those who present a brave face but feel unsure underneath —
often perfectionists who dislike being watched or criticised. It’s also a go-to remedy for children who struggle with confidence or learning anxiety, and for adults facing performance pressure or digestive strain.
Symptoms often worsen between 4–8pm, and improve with warm drinks or gentle reassurance. Cravings for sweets, pastries, or salty snacks are common.
As always, homeopathy works best when matched to the whole person, not just the symptom. A registered homeopath can help you decide if Lycopodium is the right fit — or if another remedy suits your unique pattern.
