These remedies are selected for their relevance to everyday complaints and their inclusion in the Helios kit makes them accessible for home use.
Digestive overload and irritability: Nux Vomica A key remedy for overindulgence—whether from rich food, alcohol, or stimulants. Nux vom is often used in headaches, indigestion, or constipation where the person feels irritable, chilly, and sensitive to noise and light.
Respiratory inflammation and bleeding: Phosphorus Indicated in dry coughs, nosebleeds, and chest complaints with burning sensations. Phosphorus suits individuals who are open, sensitive, and prone to bleeding or fatigue. It’s also used in digestive upsets with vomiting of liquids.
Thick discharge and changeable symptoms: Pulsatilla Nigricans Used in colds, earaches, or sinus complaints with thick yellow-green discharge. Pulsatilla suits gentle, emotional individuals whose symptoms change frequently and improve in fresh air or with company.
Joint stiffness and skin eruptions: Rhus Toxicodendron A remedy for muscular stiffness, sprains, and skin conditions like blisters or rashes. Rhus tox is often used when symptoms improve with movement and worsen with rest, especially in damp or cold weather.
Ligament and tendon strain: Ruta Graveolens Indicated in injuries to tendons, ligaments, and periosteum. Ruta is used in sprains, repetitive strain injuries, and bruising of bone surfaces. It’s also helpful in eyestrain and overuse of joints.
Hormonal imbalance and fatigue: Sepia Officinalis A remedy often used in hormonal complaints, especially in women experiencing fatigue, irritability, or indifference. Sepia suits individuals who feel better with exercise and worse from consolation or rest.
Low immunity and slow healing: Silica Terra Used in cases of slow healing, recurrent infections, or abscesses. Silica supports the body’s ability to expel foreign material and is often chosen when there is low stamina, chilliness, and sensitivity.
Emotional suppression and surgical recovery: Staphisagria Indicated in emotional states following suppressed anger, indignation, or humiliation. Staphisagria is also used in post-surgical healing, especially after clean cuts or procedures involving delicate tissue.
Skin irritation and allergic reaction: Sulphur A broad-spectrum remedy for skin eruptions, itching, and burning sensations. Sulphur suits individuals who are warm-blooded, prone to skin complaints, and may experience aggravation from bathing or heat.
