Dulcamara

Dulcamara, also known as "bittersweet nightshade," is a plant with purple berries and woody stems. In homeopathy, a highly diluted extract of Dulcamara is used to treat certain conditions, especially those related to colds, coughs, and skin issues, often when symptoms worsen in damp or cold conditions. It is believed to help with symptoms triggered or worsened by environmental factors. However, scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness is limited. In traditional medicine, care should be taken, as parts of the plant can be toxic if used improperly.
