BROMIUM 50M

Action of Medicine:

• It acts best, but not exclusively, on persons with light blue eyes, fair skin; blonde, red-cheeked, scrofulous girls.
• Stony, hard, scrofulous or tuberculous swelling of glands, especially on lower jaw and throat.
• Membranous and diphtheritic croup; much rattling of mucus during cough, but no choking.
• Dyspnoea: cannot inspire deep enough; as if breathing through a sponge or the air passages were full of smoke or vapor of Sulphur.
• Rattling, sawing; voice inaudible; danger of suffocation from mucous in larynx.
• Worse- from evening until mid-night, sitting in warm room; warm damp weather, rest and lying left side.
• Better- from any motion; exercise, at sea.
