ACIDUM MURIATICUM


ACIDUM MURIATICUM signs and symptoms from the Characteristic Materia Medica by William Burt of the homeopathic medicine ACIDUM MURIATICUM…


SPHERE OF ACTION

Acts especially upon that part of the ganglionic nervous system that presides over the gastro-intestinal canal, and the blood.

Affects particularly the mouth and anus; also the genito- urinary organs, and skin.

Its action upon the cerebro-spinal system is through sympathy from the great irritation of the ganglionic centres.
