Introduction

Podophyllum 30 (often labeled as podophyllum Peltatum 30CH) is a homeopathic remedy prepared from the Mayapple plant, primarily used for digestive complaints, especially acute diarrhea, gastrointestinal disturbances, and occasionally liver ailments

Common Uses

Addressing acute diarrhea, particularly when stools are profuse, gushing, watery, green, or yellow—often in children, but also in adults.​

Gastroenteritis with vomiting and colic pain in the abdomen.​

Support in conditions with swelling or dysfunction of the liver.​

Used in some cases for ulceration and piles of the intestines, and to relieve pain in or around the ovary.​

Temporary relief for discomfort from loose stools and bilious vomiting, and in some cases for red, agglutinated eyes.​

Dosage and Safety

Dosage often involves 5–10 drops in half a cup of water, 2–3 times a day, or as directed by a homeopathic practitioner.​

Homeopathic remedies like Podophyllum 30 are generally considered safe when taken as directed; however, the source plant is toxic in non-homeopathic forms, including when taken by mouth in herbal or raw forms.​

Not habit-forming or addictive; some users may experience drowsiness.​

Should be taken under professional supervision, especially for pregnant or breastfeeding women due to a lack of safety data.​

It should be kept away from strong odors like coffee or garlic during dosing; separate from food and other medication by at least 30 minutes.​

Additional Information

Effects and exact uses may be adapted to individual symptoms and circumstances, making consultation with a trained homeopath important.​

Podophyllum 30 is not a substitute for conventional medical treatment for serious, persistent, or rapidly worsening conditions.​

Always consult a qualified health professional before starting any new medication, including homeopathic remedies.
