Information about the agent
How do you recognize patients who need coccus cacti?
People who need caccus cocti get coughing fits in crowds and in closed rooms. After midnight, when you wake up and after lunch, you cough up threads of mucus with severe spasms, some of which get stuck in your throat and lead to vomiting. In general, sleep is restless and accompanied by confused dreams. If the back of the head hurts after exertion, it gets worse when lying down, and relief only occurs when the head is raised. The patients complain of dry, irritated mucous membranes of the eyes, as if a foreign body or sand had gotten inside. Urinating leads to stinging kidney pains with mucous, reddish urine.
Coccus cacti adults are very timid, anxious, limited by fears in their daily routine. They want to please others, are very self-critical and reserved. They can be very humorous and active, but fall into melancholy and irritability when they are uncomfortable.
