Clinical Safety & Potency Guidance
Raw Pulsatilla pratensis contains protoanemonin, an irritant lactone causing skin vesication and mucosal ulceration. Raw plant material is strictly toxic; homeopathic preparations must be potentized (6C, 30C, 200C). Professional medical review is recommended for severe gynecological or catarrhal conditions.
