Details

Lycopodium clavatum is an evergreen plant from which the pollen is used for many treatments in homeopathy. Referred to by many names, including wolf’s-foot clubmoss and stag’s-horn clubmoss, it has a pale yellow pollen from which lycopodium, a substance used to treat various health conditions, is derived. In medicine, lycopodium clavatum uses range from treating upset stomachs, food poisoning, kidney problems, and muscle cramps to serious conditions such as hepatitis and pneumonia. It can also be used to treat irritability and other emotional problems, as well as alcoholism and eating disorders.

In the 1800s, lycopodium clavatum was studied by physicians and used to stimulate appetite and urination. Various diseases were treated with it including rheumatism and gout in children. The plant’s pollen was also used as a treatment for skin conditions like eczema. When the pollen is processed into a homeopathic remedy, the lycopodium clavatum benefits include treatments for conditions affecting soft tissue, the liver and heart, as well as bones and blood vessels. Minor ailments like earaches, sore throats, and constipation are also relieved by the substance.
