Sepia – Remedy for Hormonal Imbalances, Fatigue, and Indifference
What is Sepia?
Sepia, derived from the ink of the cuttlefish, is a versatile
homeopathic remedy commonly used for hormonal imbalances, emotional
indifference, and physical exhaustion. It is particularly suited to individuals
who feel overwhelmed by daily life, often experiencing irritability, apathy,
and a sense of detachment. Sepia addresses a range of complaints, including
menstrual irregularities, menopausal symptoms, digestive disturbances, and skin
conditions.
