If deadline pressure, worries, but also happy events do not allow you to rest during the day, this usually has a negative effect on your sleep. Problems falling asleep and sleeping through the night as well as nervousness and headaches are often the result. The homeopathic medicine Coffea can help here with few side effects.
The homeopathic medicine Coffea is obtained from the unroasted coffee beans of the coffee plant. In homeopathy, the beans of the Arabic variety Coffea arabica, which contains the active ingredient caffeine, are usually used.

Coffea: Homeopathic nerve remedy
Coffea as a homeopathic medicine is supposed to work against the symptoms that are usually caused by excessive consumption of caffeine in coffee drinks. Coffea is used when people suffer from nervousness, anxiety, dizziness and palpitations. But even if happy events do not let you come to rest, Coffea is the right remedy. Coffea can also be used to support hyperactivity in children. But treatment with Coffea also has a positive effect on acute diarrhea caused by nervousness, irregular heartbeat, palpitations and high blood pressure.
Coffea: Homeopathy for sleep problems
If you can’t switch off during the day because stress, exam anxiety, stage fright or anticipation are causing you too much excitement, you usually find it difficult to fall asleep and sleep well in the evening and at night. When people lie awake for hours because they are excited because they are thinking and brooding over problems or other events, Coffea is considered a suitable homeopathic medicine to help them fall asleep again in a particularly gentle way.
Coffea: Gentle help with pain
Coffea has proven itself as a supportive and concomitant therapy for nerve pain and is considered an important drug for stress headaches and migraines. Coffea can also provide relief for difficult births with particularly painful contractions. In addition, Coffea can be used to effectively support the conventional treatment of toothache and tinnitus.
Coffea D6 and D12: Typical potencies and their dosage
For self-treatment with Coffea, low-dose potencies of D6 and D12 are primarily recommended. Coffea is available in the pharmacy in the form of homeopathic tablets, drops or globules .
- Adults take either five globules or five drops or one tablet three times a day.
- Children each get three globules, three drops dissolved in water or half a tablet.
- The tiny, sweet-tasting globules based on lactose are particularly suitable for small children and infants. Small children take two of these balls each. Babies get one globulus pushed into the cheek pouch. In principle, however, a corresponding number of drops of the homeopathic solution or tablet portions dissolved in water can also be administered.
If the symptoms improve, the number of doses may be reduced to two or once a day. Once the symptoms have resolved, treatment should be stopped.
Coffea high potencies: C30 and higher
Sometimes, however, the administration of higher potencies, such as Coffea C 30 or even higher, makes sense. When high potencies are administered, however, the treatment should no longer be carried out on your own, but should always be accompanied by an experienced homeopath if possible.

Coffea: Means with a similar effect
For every homeopathic medicinal product there is a medicinal product picture that has to be compared with the symptoms observed in patients. In order to find the most suitable homeopathic medicine in each case, it is therefore important to know the medicines that have a similar effect.
In the case of Coffea these are:
- Chamomilla : The homeopathic chamomile is considered an important remedy for teething problems in small children and, like Coffea, also helps with nervous restlessness and sleep problems. Headaches and nerve pain can also be treated well with Chamomilla. Overall, Chamomilla has a somewhat milder effect than Coffea and, in contrast to Coffea, is mainly used in states of excitement after negative events.
- Ignatia Amara: Like Coffea, Ignatia works on the nerves and senses and can also provide relief from headaches. While Coffea primarily focuses on inner restlessness, Igantia works primarily on depression, mourning and moody emotions.
- Gelsemium : Nervous states of tension, such as stage fright, fear of exams, fear of flying, etc. are also important areas of application for Gelsenium. Wild jasmine has a similar effect to coffea, but also against headaches and nerve pain as well as birth pains and nervous diarrhea. Unlike Coffea, however, Gelsenium is also used to treat fatigue and paralyzing apathy after a shock. It is typical of Gelsenium when the patient literally sags – physically and mentally.
