About the family
Insecta…Insecta is not a family but the class of insects, the largest group of arthropods, including bees, beetles, flies and aphids. Of the listed remedies, Apis mellifica (honeybee) and Cantharis vesicatoria (Spanish fly, a blister beetle) are the best-known homeopathic members, alongside Aphis chenopodii glauci (an aphid).
DoseØ · Tincture to thirtieth potency. In oedematous conditions the lower potencies. Sometimes action is slow; so several days elapse before it is seen to act, and then urine is increased. Apium virus, sixth trituration. · Boericke ⓘ
