Ruta Graveolens / Ruta Grav / Ruta

Formal Name: Ruta Graveolens

Also Known As: Ruta Grav, Rue, Bitter Herb, Herb of Grace

There are certain remedies within homeopathy that have ancient roots. One such homeopathic remedy is ruta grav, and it has been around for centuries.

Even as a homeopathic remedy specifically, it has been given to patients since the 1820’s making it one of the oldest and most well known within the world of homeopathy overall.

The plant called the ruta graveolens forms the basis of this powerful homeopathic remedy.

As it is prepared, the aerial parts of this common plant are gathered just before it begins to flower. This part of the plant is then finely chopped and diluted in alcohol. The result, as is common with most homeopathic remedies, is a very diluted solution that has virtually no traces of the actual plant at all. What does remain however, is a very targeted and very helpful homeopathic remedy. Though it may not have as many applications of some of its counterparts within homeopathy, it works tremendously well for the health conditions that it does aid with.
