SANTONINUM

Adven Santoninum

Santoninum, commonly known as Santonin, is a homoeopathic medicine prepared from the active principle of Santonica, derived from the unexpanded flower heads of Artemisia maritima (Cina). Traditionally valued for its anthelmintic properties, it is especially useful in worm infestations and associated digestive, urinary, respiratory, and neurological complaints. The medicine also has a marked action on the eyes and nervous system, particularly in children with restlessness, twitching, disturbed sleep, and gastrointestinal irritation.
