Sabina, also known as Savine, is a powerful homoeopathic medicine prepared from the young shoots of Juniperus sabina. It acts predominantly on the female reproductive organs, particularly the uterus, and has marked influence on serous and fibrous membranes, making it especially helpful in uterine atony, profuse hemorrhage, and certain gouty affections. It is particularly suited to women prone to miscarriage around the third month, and those experiencing violent pulsations, bearing-down pains, and sensations traveling from the sacrum to the pubis. Patients often show a strong desire for fresh air and have marked aggravation from heat and intolerance to music.
