GRINDELIA

N.M.CHOUDHARY;

***Grindelia is noted for its efficacy in the treatment of asthma.

****It is mostly indicated in mucus asthma.

***There is an abnormal accumulation of tenacious, viscid mucus in the smaller

bronchi, but the most important peculiarity of the drug consists in an aggravation
during sleep.

***On falling asleep his respiratory movement ceases and is not resumed until
awakened by the ensuing suffocation.

***The patient has to keep up in a sitting posture in the bed and sleep is entirely
out of question due to interruption of breathing during sleep.

****It is also used in asthma from heart troubles.;This asthma is secondary to

heart affections.

FARRINGTON;

***Catarrhal Asthma, >> as soon as the patient can expectorate.

When the patient drops off to sleep, he wakes up suddenly, with a sensation as if
respiration has ceased.
GASKIN; COMPARATIVE;

***SPONG - Cardiac affections accompanied with thick, green or yellow

expectoration like pus and dyspnoea on falling asleep so that he must keep awake
as long as he can, fear of sleep in advanced chest troubles. GRIND will palliate such
a case and if the condition is only catarrhal and not tuberculous, it will cure. [940]
