Cuprum Metallicum

Cuprum metallicum is a homeopathic remedy derived from metallic copper (Cu). In homeopathy, it is prepared through a process of dilution and succussion, where the substance is repeatedly diluted in water or alcohol and vigorously shaken. This remedy is primarily used to treat symptoms related to copper toxicity or imbalances, such as gastrointestinal disturbances, neurological issues, and emotional imbalances. The name "Cuprum metallicum" translates to copper metallic in Latin. In Hebrew, it can be translated as נחושת מטליתית (Nechoshet Metalityt). In German, it is known as Kupfer metallicum, and in French, it is referred to as Cuivre métallique. Homeopathic practitioners often use Cuprum metallicum to address conditions such as nausea, vomiting, and menstrual cramps, although scientific evidence supporting its efficacy is limited. The remedy is part of a broader tradition of homeopathic medicine, which posits that "like cures like" and that highly diluted substances can stimulate the body's natural healing processes.
