MEPHITIS MEPHITICALiquid

Mephitis, commonly known as Skunk, is a powerful homoeopathic medicine derived from the secretion of the North American skunk. It is especially valued for its strong action on the respiratory system, particularly in cases of spasmodic cough, whooping-cough, and asthmatic conditions. Mephitis is known for its ability to relieve violent, suffocative coughing fits that are worse at night and often accompanied by vomiting, breathlessness, and cyanosis (blueness of the face).
