Reason for use
Sepia nay develop great weakness of joints with grating on motion.
In all conditions there is great sensitiveness to all impressions.
It is especially indicated in people of a puffy, flabby make-up with yellow or dirty brown blotched skin.
Sepia is not one of our great rheumatic remedies, but it is occasionally of marked use, especially in women at the climacteric period.
