Benzoicum Acidum is a homeopathic remedy prepared from benzoic acid which is extracted from benzene. The latter is an organic compound widely used in the manufacture of many medicines. In its natural state, it is found in oil and coal. However, it is increasingly manufactured in industry. Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon that is also used in the manufacture of detergents and insecticides. The homeopathic remedy that is made from this substance is widely used in the treatment of urinary disorders and metabolic disorders.
Urology
Benzoicum Acidum is, in most cases, used for the prevention of cystitis, an inflammation of the bladder that is often due to an infection of bacterial origin. However, it can also be used to treat the acute phase of the disease. It is especially indicated if the patient suffers from painful urination and has a constant urge to urinate and the urine is dark, brownish, similar to horse urine or contains pus and also has a fetid and unbearable odour. In addition, Benzoicum Acidum can also be prescribed to children who are bedwetting.
Metabolic disorders
Benzoicum acidum is effective against hyperuricemia. This metabolic disorder, due to a breakdown of the purine bases, is the cause of kidney stones or stones, which are more specifically caused by a high level of uric acid in the blood. Benzoicum acidum also treats gout, which manifests as severe joint pain localized to the big toes, fingers, knees, ankles, or feet.
Recommended dosages in urology
To treat cystitis that causes foul-smelling, brownish urine, take 3 granules of Benzoicum Acidum 5 CH three times a day outside of meal times. And, to treat childhood enuresis, use 3 granules of Benzoicum Acidum 9 CH, also three times a day.
Recommended dosages in case of metabolic disorders
In case of hyperuricemia or gout, suck 3 granules of Benzoicum Acidum 9 CH, in the morning - on an empty stomach - and in the evening - before going to bed. Pain due to the disease should be relieved systematically from the beginning of treatment.
