It has been a constant component of the\nconventional therapy for chronic cough, tuberculosis and other chest\ndiseases.  No doubt, it helps in the initial stage of treatment however,\nits prolonged use can be  dangerous.  The diseases that initially\nimprove become worse later on.  On the other hand, the homoeopathic\ntreatment with Senega can cure al l these conditions, without any fear\nof harm.  Senega has also been found useful in the treatment of\ncardiac asthma.\n\nSenega is very closely related to pleurisy and has been successfully\nused in its treatment.  Pleura are the outer covering of the lungs, which\nwhen inflamed is called pleuri sy or pleural pneumonia.  Its\neffectiveness against pleurisy is well established.  At times, it may not\nprove that effective in human beings  due to a wrong diagnosis, but in\nthe case of cattle, Senega has always worked as a sure shot remedy for\npleurisy.  In the cattle, the symptoms of an ailment are persistently\nuniversal and unlikely to change.  So, if it wo rks in one animal, it\nwould certainly be found useful in other animals also.\n\nIn most of the lung diseases, the sputum is very  sticky and copious.\nWith the aggravation of tuberculosis, the sputum becomes more\ncopious.  Senega offers a significan t relief of phlegm, although it does\nnot provide complete cure.\n\nThe chest pain associated with Senega becomes worse on taking rest.\nThe cough increases on movement, especially the cardiac asthma\nbecomes much worse on movement.  The patient does not like to be\nmoved during an attack of asthma.  It is particularly useful in the\ntreatment of tuberculosis of the larynx.  The extremely sticky sputum\nis very difficult to expel even on repeated coughing.  Senega has been\nsuccessfully used in the terminal stage of tuberculosis also.\nAccording to some homoeopaths, if the patient is of Senega\nconstitution, it can cure  his left-sided facial palsy, also.  A Senega\npatient by nature is very quarrelsome.\n\nPotency: 30 to 200","modalities":"","symptoms_by_system":[],"schema_version":"1.0","api_provider":"Allahshafi"}
