Mastodynon (Strychnos Ignatii Dil. D 6, Agnus Castus Ø, Caulophyllum Thalictroides Dil D4, Cyclamen Purpurascens)

Mastodynon, a homeopathic gynecological preparation, is used to alleviate symptoms within the breast and menstrual symptom pathways.

• Breast pain (mastodynia): helps reduce discomfort and tenderness in the breast tissue.
• Premenstrual syndrome (PMS): may lessen cyclic breast tenderness, mood swings and bloating associated with the luteal phase.
• Cyclical breast swelling: supports reduction of swelling during hormonal cycles.

• Mastodynon contains highly diluted extracts of Strychnos Ignatii and other botanicals. In homeopathy, these dilutions are thought to stimulate a self‑regulatory response, modulating neuro‑endocrine pathways that influence breast tissue sensitivity and hormonal fluctuations. Although conventional pharmacological targets are not defined, the preparation is believed to act via a hormetic effect on central nervous system and peripheral receptors involved in pain perception and menstrual cycle regulation.

Mastodynon may be associated with a range of adverse reactions, although reports are limited due to its homeopathic nature.
