Spigelia [Spig]

Sticta Pulmonaria [Stict]

      It is indicated when the nose is stuffed up and dry- the nasal secretion dries up so rapidly that it cannot be discharged. A hard, dry, barking cough is associated with it.

Stillingia [Still]

It is useful in the excoriating Coryza, almost always associated with affections of the long bones of Syphilitic or scrofulous origin, in which also it is of great use.

Sulphur [Sulph]

      It is indicated in those who are subject to catarrhs, esp. chronic, when scabs form in the nasal cavity, nose bleeds readily and is swollen, the alae esp. are red and scabby.

The nose is stuffed up while indoors, but breathing is unobstructed, when out in th open air. When the nose is stuffed up the patient breathes with his mouth open-compare Antim tart., lachesis, lycopodium, Opium and Sambucus

Verbascum [Verb]
