Zincum Metallicum / Zinc Met / Zinc

Formal Name: Zincum Metallicum

Also Known As: Zinc Met, Zinc Sulfide

We’ve all heard of zinc. This common mineral is found naturally in the body and required for simple but important body functions. Zinc, as we know it, is a metal that is used in everything from roofing to musical instruments.

As you can imagine, the uses for it are vast. Many people however, never really tend to think of zinc as a medicinal type of metal, and perhaps that’s because they aren’t aware of the healing properties it contains.

Within the world of homeopathy, it was discovered centuries ago that zinc met worked as a very helpful homeopathic remedy. In this instance, zinc itself is heated and then ground into a very fine and thin powder.

This powder is then triturated with lactose sugar. What remains is virtually no trace of zinc, but the homeopathic remedy that many have come to know and appreciate as zinc met. It helps a variety of symptoms and it features a very simple and common ingredient at its core.

Homeopathic Remedies using Zinc Met:

Benefits/Uses of Zinc Met:

Nervous Exhaustion:

As the body becomes overstressed, overworked, or simply exhausted, there is mental and physical weakness. When this happens, the mind becomes confused and physical symptoms start to occur such as headaches and restless limbs.

As the nervous exhaustion progresses, the individual’s body has more difficulty battling the physical symptoms. This greatly reduces their mental and physical quality of life. Turning to zinc met as a homeopathic remedy can help with all related symptoms and the condition itself.

Urogenital Problems:

Whether it’s a complete loss of bladder control or simply a bit of involuntary urine leakage, these types of urogenital problems can be frustrating to live with. Zinc met helps the body naturally strengthen itself to ensuring proper bladder control; which the body may not be able to do on its own.

Twitching Limbs:

Zinc met is effective as a homeopathic remedy for those that suffer from involuntary movements in the body; specifically the limbs. These may occur as a result of simple spasms or a condition such as restless leg syndrome. They can also be due to a more serious condition such as Parkinson’s disease.

Eczema and Viral Skin Infections:

As a result of unknown causes or eczema, the skin may get red, crusty, and itchy. This may be attributed to a viral infection such as chicken pox or measles. It may be due simply to a rash of some type, but there is often uncontrollable itching involved. The rash appears slowly and wears away at the infected skin. Using zinc met can bring tremendous help to those who suffer from such a condition.

Headaches:

These are the types of headaches that feel as though they are just pounding or bursting in your head. There may be pain over one side in particular or it may be all over. Often these types of headaches are attributed to working too hard or simply attributed to exhaustion.

Homeopathic Remedy Profile for Zinc Met:

People that benefit the most from zinc met as a homeopathic remedy tend to be very hard working; to the point where they may find it rather difficult to relax. They frequently take on far too many tasks and then become stressed out when they can’t complete the work. Oftentimes this all develops into a state of overstimulation that is hard for the person to contend with on a daily basis. This may cause them to be forgetful and can develop into health problems or even dependencies on things such as alcohol.
