Indications

Ignatia is traditionally associated with nervous and emotional complaints of a changeable, paradoxical nature. It is linked with sighing respiration and an inability to breathe deeply or normally, spasmodic yawning, and a nervous irritation from coughing. In the emotional sphere it is connected with lability of mood, tearfulness and weeping without cause, exogenous (grief-related) depression, querulousness and globus hystericus (a lump-in-the-throat sensation). It is further associated with migraine — characteristically improved after urination — and with a headache felt like a nail in the forehead, and with irregular menses accompanied by spasmodic pains. It is a classic remedy for the after-effects of grief, worry and emotional strain.

About the remedy

One of homeopathy's best-known remedies for the nervous and emotional sphere, it is traditionally turned to for the effects of grief, disappointment and suppressed emotion.
