Dr. Reckeweg Coffea Cruda

Coffea Cruda is prepared from unroasted coffee beans and is a fascinating remedy in homeopathy, particularly because it demonstrates the principle of 'like cures like' in a very accessible way. While coffee in material doses causes wakefulness, mental excitement, and hypersensitivity, the homeopathic preparation of Coffea treats these very same symptoms. This remedy is primarily indicated for states of excessive mental activity, sleeplessness from an overactive mind, and heightened sensitivity to pain, noise, and other stimuli. Coffea patients experience racing thoughts, particularly at night, with the mind full of ideas and unable to shut down. They may feel wide awake at bedtime despite physical tiredness, with thoughts flowing rapidly and preventing sleep. The remedy has a particular affinity for toothache and headache where pain is experienced as unbearable and is temporarily relieved by holding ice or cold water in the mouth. There is extreme sensitivity to pain – the person feels pain acutely and is beside themselves with distress. Emotional hypersensitivity is marked, with excessive joy, excitement, or rapid mood changes. Unexpectedly good news or pleasant excitement can trigger symptoms. Coffea is also valuable for palpitations from excitement, nervous trembling, and the after-effects of sudden pleasant emotions or surprises. 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.
