What is Sabadilla?

Sabadilla, derived from the Cevadilla seed, is a homeopathic remedy primarily used for treating hay fever, parasitic infestations, and emotional conditions such as hypochondria. It is particularly effective for individuals who experience intense sneezing, runny noses, or itching sensations related to allergies or worms. Sabadilla suits individuals with hypersensitivity to cold air and a tendency toward compulsive or exaggerated health concerns.
