Adven Asafoetida (Gum Asafoetida)
A distinctive remedy for reverse peristalsis, nervous hypersensitivity, and ulcerative states
Asafoetida is a homoeopathic medicine prepared from the gum resin of Narthex asafoetida (family Apiaceae/Umbelliferae). It has a marked action on the gastrointestinal tract, nervous system, and bones, and is especially suited to hysterical, hypochondriacal individuals.
