When to Use This Remedy

This remedy is primarily indicated when a person experiences specific digestive distress, extreme fatigue, and certain unique physical sensations.

Digestive & Stomach Symptoms

• Dryness: Noticeable dry mouth.

• Fatigue: Extreme prostration; the patient feels a constant need to lie down.

Other Uses & Applications
