Key Ingredients & Their Actions:
Arsenicum album (6x) ? Debility & Restlessness:

Arsenicum alb. is useful in cases where asthma is associated with extreme exhaustion, restlessness, and night-time aggravation.

It?s effective in relieving dry, friction-like sounds in the chest and shortness of breath.
Belladonna (4x) ? Dry, Short Cough:

Belladonna is beneficial for those experiencing tickling, dry cough, which worsens at night. The respiration becomes oppressed and unequal, with a sense of chest tightness. It?s especially effective for asthma triggered by hot, damp weather.
Bryonia alba (4x) ? Difficulty Breathing & Chest Stitches:

Bryonia is indicated when individuals feel a desire to take a deep breath or expand the lungs. It?s used for quick, difficult breathing that worsens with movement and chest pain (often caused by stitches). It also helps with bronchitis and thick mucus in the trachea that is difficult to expectorate.
