Formal Name: Crotalus Horridus

Also Known As: Crotalus, Rattlesnake, Pit Viper

The rattlesnake is an animal that has been fear throughout time. Many of us never hope to encounter one knowing that a bite from this venomous snake can cause pain and worse side effects, including death.

However the rattlesnake does have some medicinal purposes, though it is fundamentally important to use it properly to ensure no problems ensue. It was discovered within homeopathy and is used for more serious disorders and the accompanying side effects.

Crotalus is a homeopathic remedy that relies on careful and very thorough preparation. It is important as with any other type of remedy that virtually no trace of the animal remains.

Crotalus is made into a homeopathic remedy by milking the venom from live snakes. This venom is then dropped onto lactose sugar, and the resulting solution is then triturated. What remains is a homeopathic remedy and fortunately no traces of the venom or anything that could be deemed as harmful is left.
