Special Precautions of Cina

• Only homeopathic use !
• Wormseed is UNSAFE when taken by mouth. Some people have died after taking less than 10 grams of the herb. Symptoms of poisoning are possible even in the low amounts used to treat parasitic infestations. These symptoms include diarrhea, vision problems, kidney problems, muscle twitching, and seizures.
• Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Wormseed is UNSAFE to use because it is very poisonous.
• Allergy to ragweed and related plants: Wormseed may cause an allergic reaction in people who are allergic to the Asteraceae/Compositae plant family. Members of this family include ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds, daisies, and many others. If you have allergies, be sure to check with your healthcare provider before taking wormseed.
• Don’t confuse wormseed with chenopodium oil (wormseed oil), wormwood oil, or wormwood. Also, since wormseed is sometimes called “levant,” avoid confusion with Levant Berry.
• Do not take homeopathic remedies without first consulting a homeopathic practitioner. Do not take several remedies at the same time as that is often discouraged in homeopathic treatment. Take the recommended dose only and immediately report any changes in condition to your doctor.
• Don't confuse with Epazote, which is also named Wormseed

There may be a terrible pinching pain in the belly and it may even become bloated as a result of the worms. The nose and the rectum alike will often feel itchy as there is no appetite in those who suffer from this condition.
• Temper Tantrums: Children who exhibit irritability often tend to have terrible temper tantrums as well. The tantrum may happen after they are told no or simply as a part of their erratic and challenging behavior.
• Coughs and Colds: Cina works well as a homeopathic remedy for those who suffer from a severe whooping cough. It may even feel as though the cough is gagging the person at times as the chest often feels constricted. The body may become stiff and there may be violent sneezing associated with these coughing fits.
• Sleep Problems: Many people turn to cina if they have difficulty falling asleep or if they suffer from restless sleep overall.
• Twitching Muscles: Cina works well as a homeopathic remedy if the muscles tend to jerk or go through spasms. It is particularly helpful if the jerking or convulsions is brought on by touch or from being scolded.
