PHOSPHORIC ACID
Product Description
Phosphoric acid has traditionally been used for symptoms associated with mental and physical debility. Ailments from loss of fluids, grief or mental shock; mental debility first then physical.
Indifferent, apathetic or physically weak with grief. Silent suffering and very slow to answer, they just want to be alone due to a lack of energy. The state can come on after the initial shock has passed and the long-term reality of loss has set in.
Phosphoricum Acidum (Ph-ac.) is a remedy for emotional weakness that leads to mental and physical weakness. Ailments follow grief, disappointment, unrequited love, drug abuse, or exhausting illnesses with fluid loss such as diarrhoea, vomiting, perspiration, or night-time emissions. The person will be apathetic, weak, chilly, and crave fruits or juicy, refreshing things. Symptoms improve with sleep.
Usage/Directions
For the home treatment of acute and self-limiting complaints take one pill or five drops of the remedy every 1 minute to 4 hours (1 minute for intense or emergency symptoms (plus seek emergency help), 4 hours for milder ones). Once an improvement is noticed, stop dosing and repeat the remedy only if symptoms return. If there is no improvement at all by three doses, choose a different remedy or seek professional guidance.
