Properties of Teucrium marum
Teucrium marum derives its benefits from a plant with well-established medicinal properties. Its tonic properties stimulate the immune system and promote recovery. In addition, its digestive effects help regulate the gastrointestinal system, providing valuable relief for various digestive disorders.
Use in ENT
In the field of ENT, Teucrium marum has proven to be particularly effective. It is commonly prescribed to treat conjunctivitis, an inflammation of the outer membrane of the eye. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, it quickly relieves irritation and promotes healing.
Teucrium marum is particularly effective in treating nasal polyps, providing significant relief to people suffering from nasal congestion, frequent sneezing, and foul-smelling nasal discharge. Its action specifically targets the unpleasant symptoms associated with this condition, thereby facilitating breathing and improving patients’ quality of life.
In addition to its effect on nasal polyps, Teucrium marum helps soothe nasal itching, a symptom that is often overlooked but can be extremely uncomfortable. By regulating mucus production and reducing inflammation, this homeopathic remedy contributes to optimal nasal well-being.
Treatment of Proctological Disorders
The benefits of Teucrium marum also extend to the field of proctology. It provides significant relief from anal pruritus, a condition characterized by persistent itching around the anus. In addition, it helps alleviate irritation caused by intestinal parasites, thereby improving patients’ comfort and quality of life. In the field of proctology, Teucrium marum thus proves to be a valuable ally against anal pruritus, a condition that is often stigmatized and difficult to treat. Whether this itching is due to local irritation, intestinal parasites, or simply discomfort after a bowel movement, this homeopathic remedy offers a gentle and natural solution to restore comfort and peace of mind.

Teucrium marum homeopathic remedies can be used for a variety of symptoms; therefore, it is not possible to specify the indications and dosage for a specific preparation.

Registered under number EH02078, this plant-based remedy is available in single doses, tubes, as well as for compounded preparations and in Korsakovian dilutions, offering a wide range of potencies to meet various therapeutic needs.
Origin and Properties
Cat’s-ear is known for its stimulating effects on the nervous system and for its antiseptic properties, particularly in the respiratory and digestive systems. In homeopathy, the preparation of Teucrium marum follows specific methods of dilution and potentization, aimed at optimizing the use of its active ingredients safely and effectively.
Teucrium marum, commonly known as cat thyme, is derived from a subshrub in the Lamiaceae family, characterized by its downy leaves and pink flowers. Grown primarily in Corsica, this shrub is valued not only for its ornamental qualities but also for its many therapeutic benefits. The plant contains a terpenoid compound known to stimulate sexual activity in cats, hence its nickname “catnip.” Historically, it was used in powder form to treat nasal polyps, illustrating its medicinal utility for centuries.

Administering homeopathic granules to infants and children

Pregnant women can use this remedy without any known risk to themselves or their unborn child, but it is best to seek advice.
Frequency of Homeopathic Use
For acute conditions, it is recommended to take Teucrium marum homeopathic remedies every hour until symptoms improve. Once symptoms improve, space out doses to 3 or 4 times a day, then gradually stop.
For chronic conditions, remedies in low dilutions (>9CH) are taken 1 to 2 times a day, while constitutional remedies are taken once a week or even once a month. This decision is up to the homeopath.
What to Do If There Is No Improvement Within 24 Hours
Certain conditions cannot be treated with homeopathy through self-medication alone. Your doctor will determine whether your condition can be treated with homeopathy alone or whether your treatment needs to be supplemented with allopathic medicine.
