The source of this remedy is cuttlefish ink. Sepia is used in conditions characterised by stasis, a state of stoppage in which nervous and hormonal impulses seem to be cancelling each other out.
Constitutional Indications Those who respond best to Sepia tend to be tall, lean and narrow-hipped, with soft facial features, dark hair, brown eyes shadows under the eyes, and a sallow complexion (sometimes with a yellow-brown saddle across the nose and cheeks). Although they look tired and low-spirited, they perk up with exercise. Women going through the menopause also respond well to Sepia. |
