Narcissus Pseudo-Narcissus Mother Tincture (Q): Homeopathic Relief for Bronchial Cough, Coryza, Frontal Headache, Nausea & Damp-Weather Skin Eruptions

Also known as: Daffodil (Narcissus), Nasturtium, Nasturtium Aquaticum

Narcissus Pseudo-Narcissus is a classical homeopathic remedy known for its marked action on the respiratory system, skin, and autonomic nervous system. It produces characteristic effects such as dryness of the mouth, altered skin secretions, pupillary changes, and variable cardiac activity depending on the stage of plant extraction.

In its primary action, it may cause dryness of the mouth, suppression of skin secretions, dilation of pupils, increased pulse rate, and weakened heart contractions. In contrast, preparations derived from bulbs after flowering tend to produce profuse salivation, increased perspiration, contraction of pupils, slight faintness, and nausea.

Clinically, it is indicated in cough, bronchial inflammation, coryza, and frontal headaches, especially when associated with nasal irritation. It is also useful in cases of nausea with vomiting, respiratory congestion, and inflammatory conditions of the airways.
