🌿 Chenopodium Anthelminticum in Homeopathy: Uses, Benefits, Dosage & FAQs

📌 Introduction

Chenopodium Anthelminticum, commonly known as Wormseed, Jerusalem Oak, or American Wormseed, is a powerful homeopathic remedy prepared from the essential oil of the plant Chenopodium ambrosioides. Traditionally, the herb was used as a natural worm-expeller, but in homeopathy, the potentized remedy acts strongly on the nerves, auditory system, liver, and gastrointestinal tract.

Chenopodium Ant. is best known for its remarkable effect on nerve deafness, auditory hyper-sensitivity, gallbladder pain, and worm infestations. It is also highly valuable in conditions involving the spinal cord and peripheral nerves.
