NUX MOSCHATALiquid

Nux moschata is a unique medicine prepared from powdered seeds of Myristica fragrans plant belonging from Myristicaceæ family, primarily acting on the nervous system, circulation, and digestive organs, known for producing a state of profound drowsiness, fainting spells, and extreme dryness of mucous membranes and skin. It is especially suited for cases of shock, fainting without cause, hysteria, and bloated dyspepsia, as well as unusual mental and perceptual distortions. Patients needing this medicine often present with confusion, strange sensations, hypersensitivity to stimuli, and a dreamlike mental state.
