Made from a plant used in herbal medicine, Rumex is very useful for coughs, especially those that get worse when uncovering (like undressing); it is a constant dry cough worse when breathing in cold air (like a Phosphorus cough). The cough is relieved when the person covers his mouth with his hand. it is also used for skin conditions in which itching starts when undressing at night. Sometimes it helps to expectorate thick stubborn mucus in the chest. |
