BAPTISIA
The typical state of Baptisia, mainly seen in serious infections, is characterized by a "drunken" or besotted" condition. The patient is sleepy or even stuporous. He answers questions part way and falls asleep even while talking, or falls asleep immediately after he completes a sentence. Often the patient is delirious or nearly so. Usually the remedy will appear in septic conditions or serious infectious illness, but it may be indicated in less severe infections such as influenza.
