During indigestion, the Su lphuric acid contained in the\nstomach produces Hydrogen Sulphide gas, with its typical foetid\nodour.  Every acid in the body has cer tain basic properties, which\naffect the patients accordingly.  Every kind of hyperacidosis can result\nin a sudden severe disabling weakne ss of the body.  Sulphuric Acid is\nthe ideal homoeopathic remedy for hyperacidity in the stomach.  By\nstudying Sulphuric Acid, one ca n easily understand how the\nimbalance of different elements in the body results in different kinds\nof symptoms and signs.  Sulphur is such a strong remedy that it\nproduces a burning sensation on the body from the head to the toes.\nThe addition of an atom of hydrogen  converts it into Sulphuric Acid,\nwhich has a different nature from that of Sulphur.  Its patient suffers in\nboth the heat and cold.\n\nOne symptom of Sulphuric Acid is that the patient quivers all over.\nThis is not due to the cold, but is a spontaneous response on the part of\nthe body.  Bleeding is of dark colour.  Dark blood oozes from under\nthe nails and the junctional areas where the skin and the mucous\nmembranes meet (like the bleeding from  snakebite).  The bleeding\nbeing in the skin, tends to surface externally.\n\nSometimes, spontaneous red spots appear on the skin (petechiae).\nThese spots may also be dark coloured, raw looking and ugly.  A\nstrange kind of skin condition can also develop on the face making it\ndifficult to diagnose.  Such type of  haemorrhage occurring internally\nis found in Sulphuric Acid, but may be found in other remedies too.\n\nSulphuric Acid is useful in the treatment of many skin diseases .  If\nthe nature of common remedies is know n, it is definitely beneficial.\nSome of the symptoms of Sulphuric  Acid resemble those of Sulphur,\nsuch as profuse morning diarrhoea.\n\nSome of the Arnica symptoms are also shared by Sulphuric Acid, such\nas bruised feeling with pain, weakness and feeling of cold.\nHaemorrhagic spots develop on the sk in.  The spots may be darker in\ncolour or bluish.  Unlike Arnica, th e blood percolates to the surface of\nthe skin, forming haemorrhagic bliste rs that then spread.  These are\nindicative of a serious unexplained deep illness.  Sulphuric Acid is\nvery effective in treating this condition.  If other symptoms of\nSulphuric Acid are also present, a dose or two of Sulphuric Acid may\nsuffice.  A Sulphuric Acid patient becomes easily exhausted mentally\nand his circulatory system may be  disturbed due to the slightest\ncarelessness.  Serious  blood disturbance may also result.  Boils\ndevelop on the skin.  The patien t feels very weak.  His facial\ncomplexion is not normal.  He be comes hypersensitive.  The aches\nand pains intensify gradually and then suddenly get better.  Potentially\nserious and chronic diseases devel oping due to an excess of Acid\nSulph may sometimes abruptly get better without l eaving any long\nlasting ill effects.\n\nThe discharges of a Sulphuric Acid patient are acidic as well as\ncorrosive in nature .  Hyperacidity in the body (acidosis) may be\naccompanied by a feeling of sudden severe weakness when eating\nfood.  The patient sweats profusel y.  Mere eating f ood can tire the\npatient.  A lightning type of pain swi ngs from one side to the other.\nSome patients may actually enjoy this experience, which is a\npeculiarity of Sulphuric Acid.  The headache and body aches\nintensify gradually and then stop suddenly.  Hearing loss progresses\nslowly and does not return quickly whic h is rather different from the\noverall picture of Sulphuric Acid symptoms.  Hearing returns in due\ncourse of time after the pain, pus and bad odour from the ear have\nbeen gone awhile.     Sometimes, secretions from the nose can block\nthe ear from the inside and affect the hearing.  Other symptoms of\nSulphuric Acid being present, this condition is well within the domain\nof Sulphuric Acid.  Toothache goes on gradually getting stronger, and\nthen ends suddenly without leaving any aftereffects.  Sores and\nulcers form inside the mouth and the throat , causing difficulty in\neating.  Children may not be able to suck milk.  Sulphuric Acid is\nextremely useful in the treatment of this condition.  The stomach\nbegins to fail due to the effects of hyperacidity.  The breath is\nextremely foetid and pungent .  Usually, people get constipated on\neating acidic things, but the Sulphuric Acid patient develops\ndiarrhoea instead.  For example Oysters, (a kind of sea-shell) as well\nas raw and sour fruit, can cause diarrhoea for which Sulphuric Acid is\nstill the treatment of choice for such patients who have abdominal\npain.\n\nIn women who see dreadful dreams during their periods , one\nshould, besides other appropriate re medies, also remember Sulphuric\nAcid (for details, see under Arnica and Arsenic).\n\nSulphuric Acid may be the ideal homoeopathic remedy to treat women\nwho cannot conceive due to exce ssive menstrual bleeding, if the\npatient is of a Sulphuric Acid constitution.  In reality, there are\ninnumerable causes of infertility.  To find the correct remedy is a\nvery laborious job.  This subj ect has been touched upon under the\nchapters on Pulsatilla, Caulophyllu m, Sabina, Calcarea Carb, Ashoka\nand Gossypium.\n\nIn Sulphuric Acid, the patient feels weakness of the back.  He wishes\nto keep lying down.  He finds it difficult to stand up or sit down.  Slow\nwalking offers some relief.  The patient sweats in the morning, which\nis usually due to some tuberculous matter in the body.\n\nSulphuric Acid is the best remedy in alcoholics .  In Europe, there are\nmany, who are given to regular dr inking, which unfortunately kills\nthem eventually.  Treatment with Sulphuric Acid works wonders.  A\ndrop of Sulphuric Acid should be diluted in a whole glass of water,\nwhich should be divided into three doses to be taken in one day.\nMany alcoholics who were considered  incurable, recovered within a\nweek of this treatment, and never touched alcohol again.  In the field\nof remedy, there is nothing better than this therapy.\n\nAdjuvant: Pulsatilla\nPotency: Mother tincture Q","modalities":"","symptoms_by_system":[],"schema_version":"1.0","api_provider":"Allahshafi"}
