What is Platina?
Platina, derived from platinum metal, is a homeopathic remedy
known for addressing conditions of heightened sensitivity—both physical and
emotional. It is particularly effective for individuals who exhibit arrogance,
a sense of superiority, or mood swings, along with physical symptoms such as
spasms, neuralgia, or numbness. Platina is also suited for cases involving
emotional detachment, exaggerated self-importance, and physical complaints
linked to the nervous system.
