Cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) is the homeopathic name for the squid-derived remedy that is prepared from the contents of its ink sac.
The main role of cuttlefish in alternative medicine is as a homeopathic remedy. In fact, it is classified as one of the 20 polychrests, which are the remedies that have the widest range of application and are also recommended in the group of basic remedies that should be kept on hand in any home.
Homeopathy is a treatment method designed by Samuel Hahnemann that works on the principle that like cures like. Hahnemann designed a system of more than 100 remedies, formulated to be administered in tiny effective and safe doses, since they lack side effects.
He discovered the principle that tiny doses obtained by gradually reducing the concentration allow effective doses to be obtained without side effects. Hahnemann also discovered the method of potentiating his remedies by vigorous succussion (similar to shaking). Until now no one has been able to explain exactly how it works. Already during his lifetime, Hahnemann’s new methods proved effective and safe.
According to homeopathythe main centers of the cuttlefish remedy are in the mind, mental processes and reproductive organs, which are considered to act deeply over long periods of time and appropriately as a long-term treatment.

Homeopathic remedies work best when taken in the right situations. The best person to indicate this is the experienced homeopathic doctor. Some naturopathic doctors are good homeopaths.
Homeopathic remedies should be dissolved under the tongue. You have to manipulate them as little as possible, since they can lose their effectiveness. They should also be kept away from heat and voice and should not be swallowed with a drink. After taking a homeopathic dose, patients should not drink, smoke, or brush their teeth for about 15 minutes, if possible.
Homeopathic remedies have produced no side effects so far, unless taken in massive doses. Individual aggravations may take place.
Homeopathic remedies can be taken along with allopathic remedies. Cuttlefish should not be eaten at the same time as walnut or Lochesis, as they may react adversely to each other. Coffee, peppermint, and some essential oils counteract the effects of homeopathic remedies. In some cases, dental treatment can also affect the actions of these remedies.
