Magnesia carbonica is a homeopathic remedy obtained by successive dilution of magnesium carbonate, better known as "white magnesia" or carbonate of magnesia. Magnesium carbonate is a chemical compound that occurs in the form of a white, light, odorless, and tasteless earthy mass. Magnesium carbonate is very poorly soluble in cold water, but dissolves easily in dilute acids. Thus, to make the mother tincture of Magnesia carbonica, the carbonate of magnesia is diluted in dilute acid and it is this solution that will be diluted as many times as necessary in order to obtain the required dose of the homeopathic remedy. Although Magnesia carbonica exists in many formulations, the most commonly used forms are granules and powder.
Magnesia carbonica, a remedy widely used in gastroenterology, is generally recommended to treat all disorders that may be observed in the mouth, throat, stomach, abdomen and for disorders related to evacuation. In the mouth, the patient feels burning pain in the evening and during the night. This pain is particularly felt in the teeth and also appears after eating. In addition, there is a vesicular rash on the tongue or even throughout the mouth. The patient constantly experiences a bitter or acidic taste and may have bloody saliva.
If the patient has no appetite for acidic foods and fruit, he also requires treatment with Magnesia carbonica. In addition, he may have constrictive stomach pain and complains of acid belching. Because of these acidic belches, he feels like all the food he eats tastes like straw. The patient usually suffers from nausea or even vomiting of bitter and acidic fluid. Also, he tends to feel thirsty at night.
