Galphimia Glauca Contributions by sshowalter

Article Revisions

Galphimia glauca is most commonly used to treat the symptoms of allergies such as:

  • sinus pressure
  • swollen eyelids
  • sneezing
  • itchy eyes
  • watery eyes
  • nasal congestion

In homeopathy, herbs are prescribed in small doses to actually induce similar symptoms to those the individual is suffering from. The thought is that "like cures like" so small doses of herbs that exacerbate the symptoms will help the body cure those symptoms. Galphimia is associated with a symptom picture dominated by swollen eyelids, sneezing, skin rash, stomach pain, and sensitivity to weather changes, and is therefore helpful in treating those symptoms.

In the US, over-the-counter homeopathic remedies are available in pharmacies and healthfood stores. Unlike herbs and supplements, manufacturers of homeopathic products are allowed to make strong healing claims on the labels, in part because one of the founders of the organization that became the Food and Drug Administration, Senator Royal Copeland, was a homeopathic physician. He made sure that homeopathic medicines were given a specially protected status.

Galphimia Glauca is a homeopathic herb that has been tested for use as a treatment for GAD. Homeopathic remedies do not work in a direct or obvious way. Homeopathic theory has some relationship to ancient healing traditions, but in many ways stands uniquely on its own ground, unrelated to other approaches. The term "homeopathy" is formed from the combination of two Greek words: omio meaning “same” and pathos meaning "suffering." This reflects the homeopathic belief that a substance that causes certain symptoms in a healthy person can cure an ailing person of similar symptoms. This belief is the basis for how homeopathic remedies are formulated and recommended. Galphimia Glauca is an herb sometimes used in this homeopathic vein.
