 Sumbul, as its name, Musk-root, implies, has an odour resembling that of musk. The resemblance is so close that Sumbul is used to adulterate musk.

(5) Asthma: catarrhal, spasmodic, or cardiac. (6) сlimacteric flushings. (7) Neuralgia: facial or ovarian, in women of quick and lively nervous constitutions.
