SBL Cuprum Metallicum Dilution stands out as a powerful homoeopathic medicine prepared from metallic copper. It acts deeply on the nervous system and strongly influences spasmodic, convulsive, and cramping conditions. Practitioners often choose this remedy for epilepsy, chorea, violent colic, and respiratory constriction. Symptoms appear suddenly, often start in the fingers, toes, or knees, and recur in periodic, clustered attacks. Cuprum Metallicum also helps when suppressed eruptions trigger internal distress such as vomiting or convulsions.

Therapeutic Uses of SBL’s Cuprum Metallicum
Spasmodic and Convulsive Episodes
Cuprum Metallicum controls tonic and clonic spasms, chorea following fright, and epileptic seizures. Convulsions often begin in the fingers or toes and spread to the entire body. In epilepsy, the aura frequently rises from the knees and progresses upward with unconsciousness and frothing at the mouth.
Emotional Disturbance and Mental Fixation
This remedy addresses fixed ideas, malicious thoughts, fearfulness, and morose behavior. It improves disordered speech, inappropriate word use, and a sense of mental emptiness.
Intense Head Pressure and Neurological Pain
Cuprum Metallicum relieves a bruised sensation in the brain and eyes and reduces giddiness that causes the head to fall forward. It also eases purple-red swelling of the head during convulsions and meningitic states.
Abnormal Eye Movement and Visual Rigidity
The medicine corrects fixed, sunken, glistening eyes and rapid or upward rolling of the eyeballs. It also helps crossed eyes and aching above the eyes.
Distorted Face and Jaw Contraction
Cuprum Metallicum reduces facial spasms, clenched jaws, bluish-pale facial color, blue lips, and frothing at the mouth during seizures.
Strong Metallic Taste and Tongue Spasms
This remedy removes a metallic, slimy taste accompanied by excessive salivation. It calms snake-like tongue movements, stammering, and tongue paralysis.
Persistent Nausea and Vomiting
Cuprum Metallicum relieves intense nausea—often more severe than with other remedies—and vomiting that improves after drinking cold water. It also controls hiccoughs before spasms and vomiting associated with colic or diarrhea, especially when fluids descend with gurgling sounds.
Abdominal Tightness and Colic
The medicine eases neuralgia of the abdominal organs with a hot, tense, and tender abdomen. It also relieves violent, intermittent colic, abdominal contractions, and intussusception.
Cramping Stool and Cholera-Like Symptoms
Cuprum Metallicum treats painful, bloody, black stools with rectal tenesmus and profound weakness. It also controls abdominal and calf cramps linked to cholera-like conditions.
Menstrual Cramping and Suppressed Flow
This remedy restores late or suppressed menstruation accompanied by chest cramps and after-pains. It also addresses symptoms arising from suppressed foot sweat or chlorotic conditions and relieves spasmodic uterine pain with palpitations and blood surges.
Constricted Chest and Suffocative Cough
Cuprum Metallicum relieves dry, spasmodic coughs with gurgling sounds that improve after cold water. It helps in spasmodic asthma, whooping cough with vomiting and a purple face, and breathing difficulty caused by spasm of the glottis, especially around 3 a.m.
Irregular Pulse and Precordial Anxiety
The remedy supports cases of angina pectoris with spasmodic symptoms and palpitations. It regulates slow, hard, or rapid pulse and eases anxiety in the chest, even in fatty degeneration of the heart.
Twitching Limbs and Muscle Cramps
Cuprum Metallicum controls jerking, twitching, and spasms in the hands, feet, and limbs. It relieves clenched thumbs, cramps in the calves and soles, cold hands, and clonic spasms that begin in the extremities.
Marbled Skin and Chronic Eruptions
This medicine improves bluish, mottled skin with itching, ulcers, chronic psoriasis, pimples, and eruptions in joint folds or lepra-like conditions.
Shocks During Sleep and Restlessness
Cuprum Metallicum promotes deeper sleep by reducing involuntary body shocks and restlessness. It also calms constant abdominal rumbling during rest.
