Fields of application in naturopathy

[Stannum metallicum]

As the cardinal metal of the liver, Stannum metallicum is one of the great remedies and has a very variable range of applications

Stannum metallicum for liver weaknesses

Stannum metallicum is the main metal of the liver. It regenerates all tissues in the body, including the liver tissue itself. It can be used in fatty liver or cirrhotic processes to support the weakened tissue during regeneration. It should always be part of liver formulations and is often combined with other medicinal plants.

Tin for joints

Stannum metallicum is the metal of the joints. It helps the joints to maintain their structure under the stresses of the body and ensures that the metabolism supplies, cares for and regenerates these tissues so that they do not dry out, cool down and become arthritic. The cartilage can regenerate and the synovial fluid can be formed.

Stannum metallicum for connective tissue weakness

The liver is the organ that regenerates and detoxifies connective tissue, as the body likes to use it as a 'storage site'. As a result, it loses its firmness, becomes soft and can tear. Stretch marks can be the result. Stannum metallicum supports the liver in its tasks and helps the tissue to detoxify itself and thus maintain its stability and necessary elasticity.

Stannum metallicum for depressive moods

People who lack warmth and vitality tend to be listless and experience a darkening of the soul and spirit. Stannum promotes vitality and helps the body to make it available so that it can permeate and warm everything. The feeling of vitality spreads and depressive moods subside.
