AMMONIUM CARBONICUM


AMMONIUM CARBONICUM signs and symptoms from the Characteristic Materia Medica by William Burt of the homeopathic medicine AMMONIUM CARBONICUM…


SPHERE OF ACTION

Its action is mostly spent upon the ganglionic nervous system, through this it especially affects the blood, and the secretion of the mucous membranes. By its specific action upon the solar plexus, it rouses into augmented activity, temporarily, the heart, stomach and lungs. Under its influence the activity of nearly every organ in the body is for a short time increased.

Thus we have an increase of perspiration, of urine, of mucous secretions, and a temporary increase of muscular power.

It has a wonderful power to produce liquefaction of the blood, dissolving the blood corpuscles, producing hemorrhages and great exhaustion.

This remedy is especially suited to weak and nervous persons, a lymphatic or venous temperament.
