This is a remedy that is usually used for cases of influenza when the symptoms are quite marked.

Sufferers needing this remedy will appear drowsy and slightly stupified. They are ‘out of it’! Some can even fall asleep while talking to you they feel so tired.

Their face can be dark-red especially when they have a fever. The fever will come on very quickly and suddenly (compare Acon and Bell which also develop symptoms quickly).

A strange expression of patients needing this remedy is that they (sometimes) feel as though their ‘body is not connected together’. Look for this expression in different ways. Because of this they can be restless in bed as a result even though they are tired and weak.
