Eugenia Jambos Homeopathy Uses

Eugenia Jambos, commonly called as Rose-apple, and botanically known as Syzygium jambos, is a frequently indicated remedy in the hands of an accustomed homeopath. It is quoted by Boericke’s materia medica that physiologically Eugenia produces a state of intoxication like alcohol, and everything appears beautiful and larger; excitement soon changing to depression. Acne, simple and indurated. The pimples are painful for some distance around. Acne rosacea. Nausea, better smoking. Comedones. The Boericke MM also states its usage in headache as if a board were lying on right side, and also in nightly cramp in soles of feet which can be compared to cuprum metallicum and zingiber. Skin cracks about toes.

Certainly it is a frequently prescribed remedy for skin complaints such as Acne but it has other clinical usage too. For ease of understanding this common remedy the symptoms below are compiled from Clarke and Boericke:
