  • A friend of mine has been diagnosed with lung cancer. He was also told that it metastasized to the bones and spine. He has a lot of pain in his bones and I was wondering about giving him Eupatorium Perf for the pain. I also considered Symphytum but it seems it’s more specific for broken bones.
    Any feedback would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    • Lung cancer is difficult to treat especially with metastasis. I have used cobaltum metalicum in one of my patients. However , it would be better if you would consult a homoeopath close to where you live and take proper advise thereafter.
