The homeopathic remedy made from ipecac is called Ipecacuanha. Homeopathic preparations are given for a reason completely opposite from that of standard allopathic treatment. In homeopathy, ipecac is given to stop vomiting.
Ipecacuanha is available in 30x potency; 1 part of ipecac has been mixed with 9 parts of alcohol or water, 30 times. The syrup of ipecac is then added to sugar tablets.
Ammonia is poisonous; don't gargle with it.
Ipecac (Cephaelis ipecacuanha) is a flowering plant native to South America. Its dried root is used as an emetic, inducing vomiting in cases of poisoning or overdose. It has been used for its medicinal properties for centuries.
Syrup of ipecac is made from the dried roots and rhizomes (underground stems) of Cephaelis ipecacuanha.
The patient feels worse lying down; in dry weather; in winter; and when exercising or moving about.
Emetine is primarily sourced from the roots of the ipecacuanha plant (Carapichea ipecacuanha) and the bark of the Chondrodendron tomentosum plant. These plants are native to South America and have been traditionally used for their medicinal properties. Commercially, emetine is extracted from these plants for use as an anti-protozoal agent.
Homeopathic Ipecacuanha is considered complementary to Arnica and Cuprum. It is counteracted by Arsenicum and Tabac.
They found a plant that can make people vomit and appropriately named it Cephalis ipecacuanha, meaning sick-making plant.
The word ipecac is derived from the Latin name Cephaelis ipecacuanha, a shrubby South American plant.
