Mode of Action
When treating asthma it is the constitutional amelioration of the fermenting systems that is of paramount importance and not the treatment of the actual fits by means of products the sole effect of which is to intercept or paralyse histamin. This constitutional amelioration is achieved by R 43.
The indications are the outcome of the following symptomatology:
- Arsenicum album: Intense restlessness, anxiety.
- Carbo vegetabilis: Exertions to inhale fresh air; stifling.
- Kalium phosphoricum: In exhaustion for strengthening. Nutrive remedy for the nerves.
- Natrium sulfuricum: Constitutional remedy in case of hydrogenoid constitution, worse in damp weather (fog).
- Yerba santa: Asthmatic bronchitis, with cough and expectoration.
Dosage
As prolonged cure 2-3 times daily 10-15 drops in some water before meals. In periods free of fits the same dose needs only be taken once or twice daily. As soon as fits manifest, frequent doses are in order, first every 1/2 hour, then every 1/4 hour or every 5-10 minutes 10-15 drops, preferably in a little warm water to increase the effect.
