Reason for use

Pregnant women frequently are great sufferers from rheumatism.

It is in this condition Cocculus becomes of great value.

When there is persistent numbness arid falling asleep of the limbs with the peculiar paralytic weakness, vertigo and fainting spells, Cocculus is to be conceded.

Hysterical symptoms frequently show themselves.
