This plant has been used for medicinal purposes since the Middle Ages, and it continues to be of great help to people even now.

It was discovered years back within homeopathy and has continued to be of great help ever since. Whereas the spores are used solely in other applications, the preparation within homeopathy is far more extensive.

The homeopathic remedy of lycopodium is made by taking the spikes of the plant which are cut in the summer and their spores are collected. These are then steeped in alcohol for a period of at least five days.

Then the solution is filtered, diluted, and succussed. What remains after this process is a homeopathic remedy that has helped many people and will continue to do so.
