Spongia tosta
(Roasted Sponge)
Spongia tosta is a remedy of renown for acute respiratory infections and coughs—no remedy that I know of covers more types of coughs. This is an important remedy for asthma and cardiac disorders—specifically heart valve problems. Oceanic remedies are often useful for thyroid disease, glandular problems, and lymphatic congestion. This is certainly true of Spongia tosta
(Panic Attacks) Attacks that occur with a feeling of tightness or strangulation in the throat, accompained by fear of death from suffocation. Causes may be emotional (freedom or agency issues or fear and anxiety centered around heart health) or physical (glandular or endocrine disorders).
(CFS) Spongia tosta is specific to the adrenal glands. With improved adrenal gland function comes more energy, and more ability to accomplish the days tasks. Some of the symptoms for which Spongia tosta is effective are: clothes feel uncomfortable, especially at the waist, stiffness in muscles, constipation, and fear of the future. Spongia tosta acts a stimulant to the liver.

This is a remedy that I use often; lack of assimilation is so common these days, creating problems with hair, skin and nails. Silica terra will also remove a sliver or embedded piece of glass, etc. because of it’s effects on the pus of early infection. Silica is a follow-up (companion remedy) of Pulsatilla nigricans.
