Carbo Animalis

Carbo animalis is a homeopathic remedy prepared from animal charcoal, which is derived from the carbonization of animal tissues. In homeopathy, it is primarily used to treat conditions related to digestive disturbances, such as flatulence, bloating, and diarrhea, often accompanied by a feeling of fullness and pressure in the abdomen. The remedy is also indicated for symptoms that worsen after eating or drinking. The term "Carbo animalis" translates to כרבה חיה in Hebrew. In other languages, it is known as Carbo animalis in Spanish, Carbo animalis in French, and Carbo animalis in Italian, as the term is of Latin origin and widely recognized in the homeopathic community. The preparation involves a process of trituration and potentization, where the substance is diluted and succussed to create a homeopathic remedy. Proponents of homeopathy believe that Carbo animalis can stimulate the body's vital force to heal itself, although scientific evidence supporting its efficacy is limited.
