## Keynote Indications
Lactic Acid is an excellent remedy for the treatment of diabetes, but
it has not been used much.  If some diabetics do not respond to the
commonly prescribed medicine, addition of Lactic Acid 200 is helpful
in controlling the diabetes.

Lactic Acid is useful in the treatment of morning sickness , perhaps
due to pregnancy or diabetes.  The nausea gets better on eating
something.  There is a feeling of tigh tness at the lower end of the food
pipe (oesophagus), as if a ball is stuck there, which the patient tries to
swallow downwards.  Lactic Acid is also useful in women who
happen to be anaemic and whose faces look pale.  It is also effective
in the treatment of chest problems.

Lactic Acid may also be of good use in the treatment of enlarged
glands in the axilla.  Silicea is equally good.  Silicea, in high potency
makes the glands soften and melt insi de.  If the glands are about to
burst open, then Silicea or Hepar Sulph should be administered in a
low potency.
