🎯 Acts primarily on the respiratory tract to treat acute hoarseness, loss of voice, and catarrhal conditions.

📖 Boericke writes:

Seems to have a remarkable power over acute colds, especially when accompanied by a deep, hoarse voice, or even aphonia. General insensibility of surface (worse, back and abdomen); rubbing and pounding borne without pain, and is grateful on account of warmth produced. Finger-ends thickened, horny; insensible to pinching and pricking. Instantaneous voice-producer (Coca).
