Senecio aureus may be used as a Homeopathic or used simply as a micro-nutritional (botanical). Homeopathic potencies accredit their strength and efficacy to the electromagnetic signatures of the original substrate; these are scientifically created dilutions and succussions of medicines such that generally not even a molecule of the original substrate or medicine is present in the medicine. Senecio aureus is also known as Golden Ragwort.

As a Homeopathic or used simply as a micro-nutritional, Senecio aureus has demonstrated effectiveness against the following symptomology: its action on the female organs has been clinically verified; -inability to fix mind upon any one subject; despondent; nervous and irritable; -wavelike dizziness from occiput to sinciput; -menses retarded, suppressed; before menses, inflammatory conditions of throat, chest or bladder; anemic dysmenorrhea with urinary disturbances; -great drowsiness with unpleasant dreams; nervousness and sleeplessness (Boericke). "Dr. Hale notes that the country people call Senecio aureus 'Wild Valerian' and use it for nervousness, hysteria, low spirits and sleeplessness especially in women; Dr. Lyman Watkins states that females taking Senecio generally improve in health and strength, become lighthearted and cheerful..."
