BACILLUS NO-7

Bacillus No. 7 [Ba-sv] is a homoeopathic bowel medicine prepared from specific bowel bacteria. Though its origin is microbial, it is categorized under the plant kingdom in homoeopathic classification due to its functional action. It is primarily used to address chronic inflammatory and degenerative conditions. Bacillus No. 7 is valuable in assisting various musculoskeletal, digestive, and circulatory disorders, and is particularly beneficial in conditions marked by stiffness, pain, and hypersensitivity.

Common Name: Bacillus Asiaticus

• Aids in healing paronychia (infection of the skin around nails).

• Menorrhagia and Metrorrhagia

• Helps regulate excessive uterine bleeding such as menorrhagia and metrorrhagia.

• Immune and Inflammatory Conditions

• Supports recovery from tonsillitis and quinsy (peritonsillar abscess).
• Reduces symptoms of angioneurotic oedema (sudden swelling), a sign of hypersensitive immune response.
