Argent Nit (“Argentum Nitricum") is derived from a compound of silver called silver nitrate and was used to cauterise wounds.

What is Argent Nitricum used for?

The homeopathic remedy Argent Nit is best suited for those patients who deal with anxiety issues brought about by fear. The patient will have problems such as:

  • Claustrophobia;
  • Stage fright;
  • Anxiety through situations that perhaps they’re not expecting.

It is suited to those patients whose fears are expressed physically by:

  • An upset stomach;
  • Vomiting;
  • Diarrhoea.

They find being in crowds a problem where they may feel trapped.  They will be impulsive and nervous and may feel overwhelmed and apprehensive at what lies ahead of them. Anxiety will predominate their every thought.

Argentum Nitricum benefits people who struggle with overactive imaginations, are nervous; are fearful of giving talks or addressing large groups. This remedy also helps with those who have palpitations and tightness in the chest, or headaches brought about by digestive problems, nightmares and Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Seek professional help

As with all homeopathic remedies it is advisable to seek advice from a qualified Registered Homeopath to make sure that the remedies used fit the symptoms fully.

  1. Sounds like another handy little remedy to have around. Thankfully I don't fit the description but I can see it being very useful for people whose characters your describe.

    1. That's the good thing about Homeopathy. There are so many remedies that fit around what we deal with, but we have to take our personalities into consideration for the remedies to work well.

    1. Hi Som and welcome to the site. Yes you can, but if this is your first time using Homeopathy it is important you have a consultation first.

      There are also homeopathic pharmacies that give telephone advice if you already have the kits.
