Developed by Samuel Hahnemann, the father of homeopathy, Mercurius Solubilis is a remedy obtained from an original and complex preparation. The latter is original in that it allowed the solubility of mercury which, it should be remembered, is not soluble in alcohol, water or any other liquid if it is in its natural state. It is also complex because metallic mercury, mercurous nitrate and nitric acid were used in its elaboration. Presented in powder form, this preparation is crushed in lactose before being diluted and then dynamized and therefore transformed into Mercurius Solubilis, a homeopathic remedy to treat various pathologies.
