Ignatia Amara

What is that

When we talk about Ignatia amara, nowadays, we mainly want to indicate a particular homeopathic remedy used for the treatment of some disorders of the nervous system.

However, the name "Ignatia amara" is also one of the many synonyms used to indicate the plant Strychnos ignatii, whose seeds are more commonly known with the name of beans of Sant "Ignazio.
Ignatia amara is considered toxic due to the alkaloids contained in it; for this reason, it is not used in the medical and phytotherapeutic field. The only approved use of this plant concerns the homeopathic field.
