This article will cover Coffea Cruda uses, benefits, dosage & side effects in detail.

So let’s get started –

What is Coffea Cruda

Coffea Cruda is prepared from coffee beans. But unlike coffee, the beans are not roasted to prepare the medicine. Due to this, homeopathic medicine has the exact opposite benefits of what coffee, the drink, has.

Caffeine remains the main active ingredient. As seen from excessive coffee consumption, the effects of caffeine are the symptoms that Coffea cruda is used to treat.

Amongst its innumerable uses, the most favorite use of Coffea cruda among homeopaths is its use as an antidote. Coffea cruda is a perfect antidote to almost every single homeopathic medicine.

Indeed, in cases of aggravation of symptoms due to homeopathic remedies, don’t be too surprised if your doctor advises you to take a cup of strong coffee!

When all this is taken to the extreme, the coffea person will come across to you as a workaholic.

A highly driven person who relentlessly pushes others to do the same. He becomes anxious and tosses and turns in his bed at night if all the ideas in his chaotic mind are not put into action.

His mind is in turmoil, and he is always anxious. He turns into a person who weeps over trifles and laments over them. He is frightened easily, especially by pleasant surprises.
