Description
Baptisia Tinctoria Mother Tincture — Overview
Baptisia Tinctoria mother tincture (Q) comes from the fresh root of Baptisia tinctoria, commonly known as Wild Indigo — a plant native to North America. This carefully prepared tincture retains the full therapeutic potency of the original plant material. It also serves as the base for all higher homoeopathic potencies of Baptisia. Homoeopathic practitioners use Baptisia Tinctoria Q for typhoid fever, septic blood conditions, malarial poisoning, influenza, and extreme prostration. Its deep action on the nervous and immune systems makes it a highly valued remedy in homoeopathic materia medica.
