Colchicum Autumnale

participates in the Digestive System

Colchicum autunmale is a plant used in homeopathy to treat various conditions, especially those related to the joint and digestive system. Some of the benefits attributed to it are:

• Relieves sharp and erratic pains of gout and arthritis
• Reduces nausea, vomiting and diarrhea caused by indigestible foods
• Reduces stress, irritability and depression
• Promotes hemostasis and prevents bleeding
• Fights convulsions and tetanus

Colchicum autumnale has a link to cancer because it contains colchicine, a substance used as a medicine to treat some forms of cancer, especially liver cancer and bone cancer. Colchicine works by inhibiting cell division and the formation of microtubules, which prevents the growth and spread of cancer cells.
