What is Lachesis Mutus?
Lachesis Mutus, derived from the venom of the bushmaster snake, is a powerful homeopathic remedy known for its action on the circulatory system, hormonal imbalances, and emotional suppression. It is especially effective for left-sided complaints, intense sensitivity, and conditions aggravated by constriction or suppression of natural expressions. Lachesis is well-suited for individuals who exhibit jealousy, loquacity, and a need to release emotional tension through speech or creativity.
