Dr. Reckeweg Aurum Metallicum

Aurum Metallicum is a homeopathic remedy prepared from metallic gold. This deeply acting remedy primarily affects the mind, cardiovascular system, bones, and glands. Aurum is particularly indicated for profound depression with suicidal impulses, making it one of the most important remedies for serious depression. The characteristic mental state includes melancholy, feelings of worthlessness, self-reproach, and belief that they've failed in their duties or responsibilities. There's a sense that life has no meaning and death would be welcome. Patients may be extremely conscientious, workaholic individuals who derive their self-worth from achievements, then become deeply depressed when they feel they've failed. The remedy addresses the effects of grief, disappointed love, financial loss, or loss of position. Physically, Aurum has strong action on the heart and circulation, treating hypertension, cardiac pain, and palpitations. It's valuable for bone pains and diseases, particularly of facial bones and nasal bones. The remedy addresses chronic sinusitis and nasal conditions with offensive discharge. Aurum treats complaints with sensation of congestion, particularly of the head, with face becoming red and flushed. It addresses glandular swellings and indurations, including enlarged testicles. Headaches with a sensation that the brain is loose and moving when walking are characteristic. All symptoms typically worsen at night, in winter, from cold air, and from emotions or mental exertion, while improving in open air, during summer, with music, and from washing in cold water. This 30C potency is the most commonly used potency for home treatment of acute conditions, providing balanced action and duration. Take 2-4 times daily or as needed.
