Lachesis is used in homeopathy to treat a wide range of symptoms. These fall into the following general categories of:

menstrual and menopausal complaints
throat and mouth complaints
fear, paranoia, and associated mental complaints
nervous system complaints
circulatory complaints

Lachesis is a major homeopathic remedy for hot flashes associated with menopause . It is also used to treat premenstrual and menstrual symptoms such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS), menstrual pain, and short menses.

Throat and mouth complaints are also treated with lachesis. A sore throat that worsens when hot liquids are swallowed is a good example of the type of throat complaint for which lachesis is considered appropriate. Similarly, so is a sore throat with left-sided pain or pain in the left ear, and a purplish, engorged throat, swollen gums, tongue, and foul-tasting saliva. The throat, neck, and larynx are extremely sensitive to touch.

Lachesis is used to alleviate certain mental or emotional symptoms. These include suspicion and distrust that can border on paranoia, extreme talkativeness that reflects nervousness and restless, depression, petty jealousy, and unsociability.

Circulatory complaints treated with lachesis include:

• swollen and engorged veins that give the skin a bluish cast
• varicose veins
• nose bleeds
• slow-to-heal, bluish wounds
• a throbbing sensation in various parts of the body
• weak, irregular rapid pulse
• palpitations
• fainting

The main nervous system complaint treated by lachesis is cluster headaches. These are headaches that produce pulsating waves of pain, often on the left side, or beginning on the left side then moving to the right. They often precede menstruation and improve once menses begins. Petit mal seizures and angina are also treated with lachesis.

Other complaints that lachesis is said to alleviate include stomach pains, appendicitis , vomiting and gastrointestinal complaints, anal spasms, bleeding hemorrhoids, and cravings for alcohol, coffee, and shellfish.
