Amygdalus Persica – A Rare Homoeopathic Remedy

Amygdalus persica is a rarely used homoeopathic remedy derived from the peach kernel. It is primarily indicated in cases with persistent gastrointestinal disturbances, morning sickness, and urinary symptoms. Though less commonly prescribed, this remedy holds unique importance in case-taking and remedy justification, especially for BHMS students and interns who want to understand subtle and rare remedies.
