Homeopathic Snake Remedies: What They Are, Why They’re Safe, and How They Heal

Homeopathic Snake Remedies: What They Are, Why They’re Safe, and How They Heal

By Amy Rickman

In homeopathy, snake venom remedies are made from the venom of various snakes, but they’re prepared through a method called potentization—a process of repeated dilution and shaking that removes all toxicity while retaining an energetic imprint of the original substance.

By the time a remedy reaches a potency like 30C or 200C, it contains no measurable venom—only the energetic signature that helps the body recognize and respond to imbalance.

Think Like a Homeopath: What Would a Snake Bite Do?

If you think about what a venomous snakebite causes—intense inflammation, swelling, bleeding, nerve issues, fear, or agitation—you can begin to understand what the homeopathic version might help heal.

In homeopathy, we use “like cures like.” That means a diluted version of something that causes symptoms in a healthy person can help resolve similar symptoms in someone who is sick. So a homeopathic snake remedy won’t poison—it will gently prompt the body’s healing response.

Safety You Can Trust

All homeopathic remedies sold in the U.S.—including those made from snake venom—are manufactured according to strict FDA guidelines and must meet the standards of the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS).

Unlike many supplements, which are often unregulated unless a company voluntarily does third-party testing, homeopathic remedies follow clear, regulated manufacturing standards for safety and consistency.

My Personal Experience

I’ve used Lachesis myself in the past to help with hot flashes before I started using the Slenderiiz drops, and it was a game-changer for that intense heat and restlessness many women experience.

And because we live in an area where snake bites are possible, I always carry certain snake remedies in my homeopathy kit—just in case anyone in my family or even one of our animals is bitten. These are not a replacement for emergency care.I would use on the way to the vet or ER to help the body respond faster.

Final Thought

Snake venom may sound alarming—but in the hands of homeopathy, it becomes a safe, targeted tool for healing. Whether you’re addressing hot flashes, grief, stroke recovery, or preparing for emergencies, these remedies are gentle, powerful, and safe when used properly.

And yes—sometimes the snake that could harm becomes the remedy that heals.
