Yellow Dock · "The Cold Air Throat Tickle Cough"

rumx.PlantCommonPsoric

🎯 Acts primarily on the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract to relieve tickling coughs and on the skin to soothe intense itching.

📖 Boericke writes:

Is characterized by pains, numerous and varied, neither fixed nor constant anywhere. Cough caused by an incessant tickling in the throat-pit, which tickling runs down to the bifurcation of the bronchial tubes. Touching the throat-pit brings on the cough. Worse from the least cold air; so that all cough ceases by covering up all the body and head with the bedclothes. Rumex diminishes the secretions of mucous membranes, and at the same time exalts sensibility of the mucous membranes of the larynx and trachea. Its action upon the skin is marked, producing an intense itching. Lymphatics enlarged and secretions perverted.
