Carbo Vegetabilis Homeopathy – Overview
Common Source Name: Activated Charcoal (Vegetable/Wood Charcoal). This remedy forms from partially oxidized charcoal and contains trace potassium carbonate (Kali-Carb).
Keynotes: Gas after meals, heartburn, constipation, fatigue, slow recovery after illness, and chronic cough.
How it Works: Carbo Vegetabilis homeopathy acts like the charcoal source it comes from — it absorbs and disperses gas and toxins. It helps patients who feel weak, sluggish, cold, and bloated. It also supports digestion and energy levels during convalescence. When a patient turns irritable, dull, indifferent, or loses vitality, this remedy restores reaction power.
Modalities: Worse from wine, fatty foods, butter, milk, coffee; worse in evening & night. Better from belching and being fanned.
Antidotes: Camphora, Ambra Grisea, Spirits Nitre, Arsenic.
