Husten Repertory

 

[Frans Vermeulen]

Plants used for cough remedies i.e. Rumx. Stict. and Dros. contain a chemical found in Dactylopius coccus (Coc-c.), an insect that lives on Opuntia.

Dactylopius yields cochineal, a red food colouring which contains carmin. A carmine allergy can cause coughs and other respiratory disorders. In nature it acts as a

deterrent to predators.

It is similar to Senega in chest symptoms, with lots of mucus in the bronchial tree and difficult expectoration. It is one of the few remedies < in a warm room/on entering

a warm room from the cold, like Bry.

I remember Dr. Rood discussing Verat-v. It has rapidly progressing lung congestion, dysponea, heaviness of the chest, livid and bloated fauces and drop in blood pressure.

I suggest thinking about it for ADULT RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME.

Cast-v. for its short, tight, 'ringing', cough;

Coc-c. for spasmodic cough, > in the cold air;

Cor-r. continuous "minute gun" type cough during the daytime and whooping-type cough at night. CORRALIUM has a profuse postnasal drip which is a good keynote

for this remedy. Recently, a patient of mine had bronchitis. She told me she felt as if there were a long, thick string of mucus hanging down the back of her throat.

Corralium, saved the day.

Sticta is similar in this regard.

Ant-s. and Lemna-minor. also should be considered in postnasal drip.

Napht. another hay fever remedy that is efficacious in long-continued paroxysms of cough, < at night, with tenacious mucus, and inability to catch the breath,

< inspiration (BROMIUM, MANGANUM, RUMEX).

Meph. has severe, suffocative coughing spasms at night, with contraction of the glottis, < expiration. Boericke: Coughs “ till blue in the face".

[Bayes]

Sol-carolinense: good clinical record in explosive and spasmodic coughs and is recommended by eclectic physicians as almost specific.

[Dr. Sunirmal Sarkar]

Gall-ac. hat Stramonium-ähnliche Ängste, Tuberculinum-ähnliche Gewalt und Blutungen und Husten wie Phosphor. = Lyss-ähnlich

[Richard Moskowitz]

Spongia tosta: eine Standardarznei für Krupphusten, Kehlkopfentzündungen und Bronchitis, deren Merkmale ein bellender Husten ist, und wozu auch Herzklopfen

und Angst gehören. <: nachts/Kälteeinwirkung; >: Hitze;

Ant-t.:Bronchiolitis bei kleinen Kindern, die Behandlung von asthmatischer Bronchitis bei Menschen jeden Alters, denn es ist berühmt für Linderung

von Hustenanfällen in der Nacht endend in Würgen oder Erbrechen. Mit Atemnot und Schleimrasseln, es kann nur sehr wenig Auswurfherausgebracht werden.

   Trio:     Rattling cough: Antim tart, Hepar sulph, Ipecac.

    Husten: Bry. + Dros. + Rumx. + Samb.

 

[William H. Burt, M.D. -1895]

Incessant and moist spasmodic cough, with every breath, in delicate children, and great paleness of the face, with nausea.

[Dr. W.A. Dewey]

Ambra.: Useful in nervous coughs followed by eructation of wind. Reflex coughs rather than those of organic lesions of the respiratory organs

[Dr. E.A. Farrington]

Ant-t.: in the course of lung affections, (child) the cough ceases or becomes more rare, yet there is no diminution in the mucus-production. There is just as much rattling

of phlegm, yet the child does not cough so frequently. The mother thinks the child is better, but in reality it is worse, for the lungs are losing their power.

 

Spongia tosta - das breiteste Spektrum akuter Hustenarten

[Nash]

Senega has a very irritating, scraping sensation high up in the throat and fauces (elderly people with chronic coughs).

Obstinate coughs of old people with difficult expectoration. It has a peculiar symptom of catarrh of the chest # diarrhea

[Christiane Petras]

?Toxo.: Schleim löst sich nach tagelangem unproduktiven Husten und Halskratzen?

[William H. Burt]

Hyos.: Nocturnal spasmodic dry cough (< recumbent posture, > at once sitting up). Incessant dry, spasmodic cough, greatly < at night/lying down/in cold air.

Krampfartiger trockener Reizhusten; wenn Radium bromatum oder andere Nosoden hier keinen Fortschritt bringen, ist an Lyssinum zu denken.
