SBL Carbo Vegetabilis Dilution (Vegetable Charcoal) is a well-known homoeopathic medicine prepared from plant-derived charcoal. Practitioners commonly prescribe it for conditions marked by low vitality, poor circulation, and digestive dysfunction, especially when recovery is slow or the patient feels collapsed and exhausted. Carbo Veg acts powerfully when the body lacks the strength to react, and the patient feels cold, weak, faint, and craves fresh air.

Therapeutic Uses of SBL’s Carbo Vegetabilis
Acidity and Indigestion
Carbo Vegetabilis actively relieves flatulence, heartburn, bloating, and sluggish digestion. It eases heaviness after meals and reduces sour or rancid belching. This remedy works well when food ferments instead of digesting properly, leading to discomfort and pressure.
Constipation and Flatulence
This medicine effectively reduces chronic abdominal distension and offensive gas. It supports bowel function in cases of constipation associated with burning at the anus and bluish hemorrhoids. In weakened patients, it addresses foul-smelling, involuntary stools caused by poor intestinal tone.
Cough and Offensive Expectoration
Carbo Vegetabilis improves respiratory symptoms such as cough with cold breath, gagging, and foul expectoration. It proves especially helpful in elderly asthma, neglected pneumonia, and bronchitis accompanied by chest oppression. Hoarseness, spasmodic coughing, and a constant need for fresh air strongly indicate its use.
Venous Congestion and Cyanosis
This remedy stimulates circulation in cases of cold, bluish extremities and venous stagnation. It benefits patients with icy cold limbs, cold sweats, and bluish skin, particularly in collapse states or following excessive fluid loss.
Skin Eruptions
Carbo Vegetabilis supports healing in varicose ulcers, eczema, bedsores, and senile gangrene with offensive discharge. It reduces burning pain, itching, and indolent ulceration, promoting healthier skin repair in weakened individuals.
Weakness and Convalescence
The remedy restores strength in patients who feel exhausted, faint, or unable to recover after illness. It revitalizes the system following prolonged disease or excessive medication, improving energy levels, warmth, and overall vitality.
Hemorrhagic Conditions
Carbo Vegetabilis helps control passive bleeding from mucous membranes, including the gums, lungs, and rectum. It suits cases where blood appears dark, offensive, and slow-flowing, reflecting poor circulation.
Mental and Emotional Symptoms
This medicine sharpens mental sluggishness and addresses fear of darkness, fear of ghosts, and sudden memory weakness. It improves responsiveness in individuals who feel mentally dull and physically depleted.
Headache and Vertigo
Carbo Vegetabilis relieves head heaviness, pressing headaches, and vertigo with nausea, especially when digestive disturbances or overindulgence trigger these symptoms.
