NITRIC ACID Medicine



Nitric acid is a remedy to be thought of in bleeding warts (208) and in ulcers which spread rapidly, ooze an offensive pus and bleed when touched.

It is useful for carbuncles (27), with putrid decomposition and tendency to haemorrhage, and for urticaria (201), with itching, smarting and especially burning.

Lachesis is incompatible with Nitric acid.

Nitric acid, low, must not be used in the form of a triturate or dispensed on pellets, as it will decompose the sugar, with the formation of oxalic acid.

I use Nitric acid 30th.
