Zincum – Remedy for Restlessness, Nervous Exhaustion, and Reflex Irritability
What is Zincum?
Zincum, derived from zinc metal, is a homeopathic remedy known for
its effectiveness in treating nervous system complaints, restlessness, and
reflex irritability. It is especially helpful for individuals who experience
constant fidgeting, jerking movements, and exhaustion. Zincum is particularly
suited for cases of suppressed eruptions, nervous twitching, and fatigue linked
to overuse of mental or physical energy.
