Organ Remedies in Homeopathy
In homeopathy, we treat the whole person — but sometimes, certain body systems need extra support or you need to bring in a specific remedy as more of an acute or first aid response. That’s where organ remedies come in.
Organ remedies are homeopathic medicines with a specific affinity for particular organs or systems. They can be used to nourish, tone, and regulate organs that are sluggish, stressed, or overworked. Whether it’s post-illness, post-birth control, burnout, hormonal chaos, or sluggish detox pathways — organ remedies offer beautiful, targeted support.
They're often used in lower potencies (3X, 6X, 6C, 30C), repeated gently to restore vitality over time. Sometimes I’ll use them in a homochord, so it’s lower and higher potencies. They don’t suppress symptoms — they work with the body to bring function back online.
Here are 5 popular organ remedies:
💥 For Nerves & Burnout: Kali Phos
The ultimate nerve tonic. Think stress, overwhelm, insomnia, and brain fog. For the mama running on fumes, the student on the edge, or the nervous system that’s fried.
💥 For Detox & Digestion: Chelidonium
Liver struggling? Coated tongue, sluggish bowels, hormonal congestion, or post-medication stagnation? Chelidonium supports bile flow and detox pathways — a gentle liver flush in remedy form.
💥 For Hormone Reset: Folliculinum
PMS? Estrogen dominance? Cycles all over the place? Folliculinum is brilliant post-pill, postpartum, fertility supportive, or anytime hormones feel hijacked. It helps reboot the hormonal rhythm and ovarian function, by stimulating ovulation and supporting healthy cervical mucous.
💥 For Thyroid & Metabolism: Thyroidinum
Dragging yourself out of bed, can’t shift weight, brain in a fog? Thyroidinum (a sarcode from healthy thyroid tissue) helps nudge the thyroid back into gear. Great in low function or fatigue states.
💥 For Heart Health & Circulation: Crataegus (Hawthorn)
A natural heart tonic. Strengthens the cardiac muscle, improves circulation, and supports recovery after stress, illness, or grief. For when the heart feels tired — physically or emotionally.
How to Use Organ Remedies
✔️ Potency: Often you start low such as a 6C, or a homochord (Fib or Kentian)
✔️ Dosage: 1–2 times daily or weekly (check with your homeopath) for 4 weeks, then reassess.
✔️ Pairing: Often used alongside a simillimum/constitutional remedy, or as a stand-alone prescription to open or close a case. Organ remedies don’t override — they enhance the healing process.
Organ remedies are like giving your internal systems a helping hand — gently nudging them back toward strength, function, and balance.
