Lac Caninum – Remedy for Alternating Symptoms, Insecurity, and Throat Complaints

Lac Caninum, derived from the milk of a dog, is a unique homeopathic remedy used for symptoms that alternate between sides of the body and conditions tied to insecurity, self-doubt, or emotional instability. It is especially effective for throat complaints, neuralgia, and menstrual issues that alternate or shift sides, as well as emotional states characterized by low self-esteem and feelings of worthlessness.
