Cocculus Indicus (Cocc.)
(Indian Cockle)

Reprinted by permission from The People's Repertory by Dr. Luc De Schepper

The main activity of Cocculus is on the respiratory mucosa, so it can be used for coughing fits caused by a tickling feeling in the throat, especially around 11:30 p.m. and in the morning upon awakening. The typical Cocculus cough is also made worse by heat, but is relieved when the person is in a cold room or when walking. There is expectoration of thick, stringy mucus (similar to Kali bich). The Cocculus cough can be described as a "machine -gun" cough: attacks of a spamodic, rattling cough.

Western medicine is still looking for a drug which helps people overcome jet lag when they travel abroad. Look no further!  Cocculus fits the bill perfectly. I have done it numerous times myself, and my patients-especially flight attendants-have praised the remedy in these circumstances. It is the #1 remedy for jetlag; other remedies include Arnica, Gelsemium, and Rescue Remedy (a blend of Bach flower remedies).

Other sensations which call for Cocculus include dizziness with exhaustion, which is often seen in "night watching": people taking care of sick or dying relatives for months, always sleeping with one ear open, or loss of sleep after having a baby who cries frequently for the first three months. The person is exhausted, dizzy and emotionally wrecked. I know of no better remedy than Cocculus for this purpose. It is also the #1 remedy for motion sickness, especially in the car and airplane (and unlike over-the-counter drugs, it doesn't cause drowsiness!
