Homeopathy Remedies for Ring Worm


Anshutz gives a useful therapeutic differential diagnosis of the condition Ring Worm, with the most useful homeopathic remedies. Therapeutic byways by E.P. Anshutz, published in 1900….


Bacillinum [Bac]

      Burnett contended that ringworm showed a tendency to tuberculosis, or that the disease is latent. For this condition he gave Bacillinum 30, one dose once a week. This, of course, does not exclude external means, but the Bacillinum should always be given in cases of the disease. That Burnett was right seems to be shown in recent works on practice, where we are told that patients with ringworm must be built up on account of their being physically run down. As they are mostly children this condition must be inherited, i.e. constitutional, and so not needing building up, but a cure. Externally, a pure, strong grain alcohol is said to be the best application. Burnett wrote a little book on this topic, Ringworm he named it.
