SBL Cantharis

SBL Cantharis Vesicatoria (Dilution)

Common Name: Spanish Fly, Blister Beetle

Introduction

Cantharis Vesicatoria, derived from the Spanish fly (a beetle that lives on honeysuckle and olive trees in Western Asia and Southern Europe), is a potent homeopathic remedy. The beetle produces cantharidin, a toxic substance that affects the urinary tract, causing burning pain and vomiting. The remedy is indicated for conditions characterized by burning pains, blister formation, and violent anger.
