Senega officinalis (Seneg.)

Senega officinalis (Seneg.) appears in 171 rubrics. Of these, 5 are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and 4 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The emphasis is on voice, aphonia, and speech; children, anxiety, and anger are added. The data are manageable.

Voice and speech

The specific rubrics revolve mostly around speaking. The voice is trembling, the aphonia ameliorates in warm air, listed in two versions, and it occurs with asthma. Speech is thick or indistinct when the throat is dry.

Vertigo and unconsciousness

Two further single-remedy rubrics lead away from speaking: a delusion that the blood stops flowing during vertigo, and unconsciousness with pressure in the eyes and disturbed, impaired vision. In the evening a serious mood appears.

Summary

The material is narrowly confined: it concerns above all the voice, which wavers, fails, or recovers in warmth, and besides this states of vertigo with loss of consciousness.
