SQUILLALiquid

Squilla maritima, a gradual-acting homoeopathic medicine derived from the squill plant, Squilla Maritima, belonging from Asparagaceae family, is known for its affinity towards the mucous membranes of the respiratory and digestive tracts, as well as its notable action on the heart, kidneys, and spleen. Particularly beneficial in long-standing conditions that develop gradually, it is suited to persistent, dull, rheumatic pains and bronchial conditions in the elderly. A guiding indication is fluent coryza with soreness around the nostrils, pointing to its strong effect on mucous membranes.
