Drimia maritima), commonly known as. sea onion or red squill, a perennial plant in the Asparagaceae family, prepared for homeopathic use. through trituration and serial dilution to enhance therapeutic action while eliminating material. toxicity, in accordance with homeopathic pharmacopeia standards. Traditional  Context:  Historically  employed  in  homeopathy  for  respiratory,  urinary,  and. cardiovascular disorders, particularly those involving cough with profuse expectoration, urinary. incontinence, and heart weakness. It is noted for symptoms such as watery cough, involuntary. urination,  and  aggravation  from  cold,  often  worsened  by  cold  air,  morning,  or  motion,  and. ameliorated by warmth, rest, or expectoration. Modern Context: Indicated for respiratory conditions (e.g., chronic bronchitis, asthma), urinary. conditions (e.g.,  urge  incontinence,  enuresis),  cardiovascular  conditions (e.g.,  heart  failure,. palpitations),  and  psychological  conditions (e.g.,  generalized  anxiety  disorder,  adjustment. disorder).

The cough caused sneezing, flow of tears, spurting \nof urine and even involuntary stools. \nThe kidneys are acted on by Squil. and many of the traditional uses of the drug have been with the idea of \neliminating dropsical effusions by reproducing a great flow of urine. Hahnemann pointed out that the excessive \nflow of urine accompanying dropsy and other complaints was one of the best indications for its use.  \nBoger added the heart to the organs primarily affected by Squil. He gave three cases. Mr. B. suffered  from \nangina pectoris, forcible cardiac contractions, profuse urine, much loose mucus in throat and trachea, heart \npain indefinite but very severe.

Boger added that the nails become \nbrittle and split and that veterinarians use Squil. for cracked hoof in horses. \nThe use of Squil. as an \u201cexpectorant\u201d depends on its power of producing free secre tion from the respiratory \nmucus membranes; in homeopathy this free secretion is one of the leading indications. \nHering said Squil. is suited to the pleurisy and pneumonia that follow blood-letting.","Head":"Stinging headache.
