I suffer from a dry mouth and dry eyes my Doctor gave me Bryonia 6c to try which did help a little bit he then gave me nux moschata 6c to try I would like to know something about both these things and which in your opinion is the best one for a dry mouth and dry eyes.Thank You. simplychris.

Dear Chris,

Although you have dry mouth and dry eyes, but it is not possible to prescribe till the cause of your complaints is ascertained. The 'why' and 'how' need to be answered along with the 'what'. Both the medicines you have named have dryness of mucous membranes. But one medicine has thirstlessness with dryness and the other has marked thirst. So I find it difficult to understand how any homeopath can give you both medicines. It seems like your homeopath is prescribing only on one symptom and is not considering the totality. Beyond that it is difficlut for me to comment on the case or the prescriptions, because I know only very little about both.
