Iodium / Iod

Formal Name: Iodum

Without proper levels of iodine in the body, there can be serious health issues that arise.

Low levels of iodine can cause the thyroid not to function properly which in turn can cause the individual to suffer from some very serious symptoms. As iodine has very distinct purposes it has a very real place in modern medicine as a result. It was discovered within homeopathy years back and it should be no surprise that it is used most notably for metabolism issues.

Iodum is the homeopathic remedy that has resulted and it offers a variety of different uses for health conditions. It is made carefully by dissolving iodate salts in alcohol and then it is repeatedly diluted and succussed; thus producing the final beneficial mixture.
