Phosphoricum acidum is a homeopathic medicine made from phosphoric acid that is obtained either after the phosphorus has been calcined or by mixing calcium phosphate with sulphuric acid. The phosphoric acid used to make the remedy is used in the form of syrupy liquid or colorless crystals. High levels of phosphoric acid in the body can cause coughing, heartburn, or abdominal pain. This is why an infinitesimal dose of this substance, as used in homeopathy, makes it possible to effectively treat these different pathologies.
Phosphoricum acidum is prescribed in cases of depression, mood swings, overexertion or exhaustion followed by migraines. In addition, this drug is especially recommended for individuals who are unable to coordinate or combine their ideas or who are unable to concentrate to do intellectual work.
