Materia Medica de A a Z

LACTIS ACIDUM (lac-ac)

"I do not propose to adopt the usual way by beginning with /Aconite/ and ending with /Zincum/, but to follow the bent of my inclinations, or, as it is sometimes expressed, the movings of the spirit; and may I not here invoke the aid of the spirits of the immortal Hahnemann, Boenninghausen and the galaxy of bright names that adorn the fair page of the history of Homoeopathy to help me."

First: NUX VOMICA (nux-v)

Previus: LAUROCERASUS (Laur)

Next: HYPERICUM PERFORATUM (Hyper)

Is a great remedy for diabetes mellitus. It is especially indicated if in addition to the thirst, voracious hunger and profuse urine loaded with sugar there are rheumatic pains in the joints. It is generally given low, but abundant experience has taught me that the high is much better, and it does not need frequent repetition.

Oxalic acid (Ox-ac) has a very peculiar symptom which has often been verified by myself. Palpitation and dyspnoea in organic heart disease, worse when thinking of it, a very peculiar modality, but genuine.
