What if certain bodily functions could be rebalanced by working directly on the tissues that give rise to them? Organotherapy, which stems from the homeopathic tradition, uses diluted extracts of animal origin—called sarcodes —to gently support weakened or imbalanced organs. On Soin-et-Nature, this specific approach is designed for those seeking targeted care that respects the body’s physiological functioning. Discover the principles, benefits, instructions for use, and precautions to be aware of regarding this method, which is still relatively unknown but rich in therapeutic potential.
More details
As part ofopotherapy, organotherapy is a branch of medicine that uses extracts from animal organs and tissues for therapeutic purposes. More specifically, organotherapy uses extracts from various endocrine glands, which are responsible for producing hormones that regulate numerous metabolic functions in the body. The most commonly used glandular extracts come from the thymus and adrenal glands of farm animals such as cattle, sheep, and pigs. These extracts are believed to help strengthen the immune system.
Like homeopathic remedies, the extracts used in organotherapy are diluted and potentized. The dilution can range from 4 CH to 15 CH. In this therapeutic approach, an extract from a specific organ will have an effect on the corresponding human organ. For example, an animal heart extract will act on the human heart and not on the lungs. Thus, the healthy animal organ is believed to have the ability to heal the diseased human organ.
Organotherapy holds a special place among biotherapies and in homeopathy. The products used are Hahnemannian homeopathic dilutions of human (placental extracts) or animal (usually porcine) tissue and glandular extracts. Sarcodes, or“organotherapy remedies,” are products (secretions) or healthy tissue extracts of animal origin. Notable examples from the homeopathic materia medica include Lac caninum, Cholesterinum, and Thyroidinum. A sarcode is a homeopathic remedy derived from a specific part of an animal, not from the whole animal.
