Cantharis: When it Burns...

Rachel Van Halteren • May 20, 2019

Burns, sunburns & bladder infections

Cantharis vesicatoria ( canth .) is a remedy made from...the spanish fly! Now, maybe you are thinking...gross. I won't ingest a fly. LOL. I completely understand. But let me explain a little further...

Homeopathic remedies are diluted and energized substances. This means that the actual substance (the Spanish fly in this case) is not physically present in the remedy. Rather, the energetic presence of the Spanish fly is what you are ingesting.(Also, just to be clear - we are not cruel to animals!)
To explain further...(and please, I'm not a physicist so my explanation may be laugh-worthy :)
All material (whether inanimate or animated) is made up of atoms and atoms continually are in motion (even in solid things). Every substance in existence has its own unique 'resonance.' What this means for homeopathic medicines is that highly diluted homeopathic remedies still have resonance and this resonance has the power to impact you at a biological level. Although many people assume that because something is very diluted its useless, scientific research has shown that the electromagnetic signals in a diluted substance are still present!

Ok, so enough of that. Back to what cantharis can be used for! The burning sensation is very characteristic to cantharis. I have seen INCREDIBLE results after someone has burnt themselves and the pain, redness and swelling QUICKLY disappeared.

Indications :
  • Burns before blisters form and they have a burning sensation
  • Bladder infections with constant urge to urinate. There is a cutting and burning sensation. There may be drops of blood in the urine.
  • Sunburns - with that characteristic redness and burning sensation that feels better with cool applications
  • Kidney stones - with the passing of a kidney stone through the urethra there is a lot of burning and cutting sensations
  • Colitis or gastroenteritis with burning and cutting pains - there is often a quick progression to necrosis and gangrene
  • Irritation or burning of the eyes after chemical exposure
  • Burning in the mouth or throat - sores may or may not be present

Dosage & Repetition:
  • 6C or 30C are great potencies to have on hand.
  • You can also apply to skin (NOT when the skin is broken). You can simply put a 3X potency in some boiled (and cooled) water and soak (or apply to) affected part to relieve burning and pain.
  • You can repeat this remedy as often as needed to relieve pain and burning. Always remember that as symptoms improve you can repeat less often.
