Baryta Iod 3X

Description

Baryta Iod 3X
Introduction: The main action of Baryta iodata is to retard development and to infiltrate,
enlarge and indurate glands and organ tissues. Baryta iodata suits a child who does not grow as
he should, whose lymphatic glands are very swollen and hard, who catches cold easily and who
exhibits opacity of the cornea. The opacity which is apparent in the eye parallels the induration
and infiltration of internal organs and glands.
