BADIAGA

Spongilla fluviatilis syn. S. lacustris
Freshwater sponge.

Key Uses:

Hard, swollen glands in the neck and breast

Profuse mucus in the respiratory system, with copious catarrh, possibly due to influenza or hay fever

Sneezing brought on by coughing

Origin : Found in Russia and Europe.

Background : In Russia this sponge is powdered to make a traditional treatment that causes bruises to disappear overnight.

Preparation : The fresh sponge is collected in fall, dried, and triturated with lactose sugar.

Remedy Profile : People for whom Badiaga is best suited enjoy mental activity, and feel that their minds are always clear and active, even when ill. Excitement or pleasure may easily bring on palpitations. The body may feel sore to the touch, as if it has been beaten, which may cause restless sleep; frightening dreams may also disturb or disrupt sleep.
Profuse mucus in the respiratory system, with copious catarrh that drips from the nose, possibly due to influenza or hay fever, may respond to Badiaga. Sneezing brought on by coughing may be helped, as may hard, swollen glands in the neck and breast, possibly linked to cancer.

Symptoms Better : For heat; at night.

Symptoms Worse : For cold; for stormy weather; for lying on the right side.
