Stannum
I would request h'ble homeo practitioners on this forum to thro light...Does the remedy stannum give power to lungs to expel sputum(cough)?I am tempted to use it but I have never heared/read/seen any body prescribing or using it.Materia medica is also not very elaborate on this remedy.Neither the results are read any where.bapu4 on 2011-01-16

Stannum is a well used, well proven remedy with a very large number of symptoms - I have only copied the respitory symptoms from two of my books, there are many symptoms in the other parts of the body and mind as well.

yes I have a number of times for different kinds of problems, not just respiratory. I have had some good use of it for CFS especially where the weakness feels as if it is centred in the throat or chest. It is a great remedy for older people with bronchitis or pneumonia.
