SBL Carbo Animalis

Common Name: Animal Charcoal

Introduction

Carbo Animalis, also known as Animal Charcoal, is a homeopathic remedy derived from the charcoal of animals. It is particularly effective for individuals with weak circulations, such as scrofulous and venous constitutions, as well as for elderly patients and those recovering from debilitating diseases. This remedy is highly beneficial in cases of glandular infections, skin conditions, weak digestion, and general weakness.

Causes & Symptoms for SBL Carbo Animalis

Carbo Animalis is especially indicated for glandular infections with swollen and painful glands in areas like the neck, axillae, groin, and mammae. It helps with cutting, lancinating, and burning pains associated with these conditions. It is also effective in treating skin affections such as acne rosacea, warts, and chilblains, which worsen in cold weather, especially at night or in bed.

This remedy is most suited for individuals with feeble circulation, low vitality, or those who are nursing women suffering from weak digestion or emotional isolation. It helps restore balance in cases where body secretions are offensive and where there is local congestion without heat.
