Rumex



This patient states that she has frequently had such coughs as this, and they have proved very obstinate although under skilful homoeopathic treatment. I have Rumex 12 in solution a tea-spoonful every two hours. After the second dose there was complete relief. The next evening, a very slight disposition to cough. No further symptoms.

I supplied the patient with Rumex30, and advised her to use it at once on the occurrence of such a cough, and I am informed that she has always succeeded in subduing the cough within twelve hours.
