Therapeutic Uses of SBL’s Drosera rotundifolia
Whooping Cough
Drosera controls dry, violent, spasmodic coughing fits that follow each other rapidly and cause choking and breathing difficulty. It helps reduce the intensity and frequency of these attacks.
Laryngeal Tuberculosis (Phthisis)
The remedy relieves irritative cough, hoarseness, and scraping or rough sensations in the throat seen in laryngeal tuberculosis. It also supports recovery from associated weakness and weight loss.
Chronic Cough
Drosera eases deep, hoarse cough that worsens at night and often brings up yellow mucus. Severe coughing may lead to vomiting and occasional bleeding from the nose or mouth.
Hoarseness
The medicine improves persistent roughness of the voice, deep hollow tone, and loss of vocal strength. Speaking often requires effort and worsens the condition.
Sore Throat
Drosera relieves rough, scraping throat pain with difficulty speaking, commonly described as “clergyman’s sore throat.”
Tubercular Lymph Nodes
The remedy helps reduce swelling and infection of lymph nodes associated with tuberculosis.
Pulmonary Tuberculosis (Phthisis Pulmonum)
Drosera supports lung health by relieving persistent cough, weakness, and respiratory distress linked to pulmonary tuberculosis.
Vertigo
The medicine relieves dizziness and a sensation of falling to one side, especially in open air. These symptoms often appear with facial coldness and stinging pain.
Paralytic Pain
Drosera reduces pain in the hip joints and thighs, stiffness in foot joints, and general lameness of the limbs. Patients often feel as if the bed feels excessively hard.
Internal Chilliness
The remedy relieves shivering with a hot face and cold hands. Patients often feel excessively cold, even while in bed, and experience little or no thirst.
