Stannum
Stannum is a remedy often recommended for individuals experiencing extreme fatigue and weakness, particularly after even slight exertion. It is useful for those with chronic fatigue, muscle weakness (especially in the arms and legs), and a weak voice that tires easily from talking. Stannum is also indicated for a cough with thick, yellow mucus that worsens with talking or laughing. Emotionally, it helps those who feel drained, melancholic, and hopeless, and who are sensitive, easily moved to tears but avoid seeking attention.
