Description and indications for use of a homeopathic medicine
ACIDUM PHOSPHORICUM – defeat of emotions. He does not understand what is happening to him (consciousness is turned off), he does not feel anything (feelings are frozen), indifference. First of all, it weakens emotional level; This usually occurs after the patient has suffered great grief - the loss of a husband, a child, or after a series of relatively minor emotions. stresses following one after another. There is a gap in the system that supports them, so there is a weakness in emotions. level with the outcome in complete indifference and a feeling of complete collapse, because they can no longer cope with the situation. You can see that the person's condition has undergone a dramatic change. The man was healthy, happy, full of life. He experienced a strong shock, after which he went to bed, and as soon as he fell asleep, everything suddenly worsened. The condition worsens at night (Lachesis). But unlike Lachesis, patients with FA do not like to talk. They answer in monosyllables - yes, no; at the same time they feel weak in body, mind and emotions. Insomnia is characteristic. They have severe unconscious anxiety. They may fall asleep for 3-4 hours and then wake up feeling very anxious.
But before he reaches the stage of indifference, you can see irritability very easily arising from the slightest provocation. Arises severe irritability, and immediately behind it is a feeling of disappointment, annoyance at oneself. They feel like they are reacting badly, too much. Behind the irritability of A.F. there is weakness, no strength, no reserves to calmly stand your ground and defend your position with reason. They feel that they could avoid this irritability by having clear arguments, but they don’t. Their emotional sphere is so fragile that it breaks at the slightest stress. They feel this internally and in the initial stages they protect themselves from complete emotional destruction with a barrier of irritability, although this solution is paradoxical. Inappropriately strong irritability at the slightest provocation. This is the main idea. They are irritable because they feel that if they are pushed even a little harder, their emotions will collapse and they will be as if they were dead. Eventually this is what happens. They are under increasing pressure and more pressure, they are increasingly argued with, so that they give up abruptly and eventually fall into a state of complete indifference. Nothing touches them anymore. Example: a patient’s husband died. The slightest stress about the arrival of bills for the apartment spoiled her mood for the whole day and provoked quarrels with the children. She herself admitted that her powers in these situations were inadequately strong. Previously, her husband supported her, but now she became very upset in such cases, and after that she felt completely exhausted mentally and emotionally, feeling complete indifference to everything. This state of indifference lasted for a day or two, and then passed. Patients describe this condition as “mood swings.” Emotional stress provokes irritability, after which a state of indifference develops, and then they return to a relatively stable state, if the pathology has not yet gone far. During a period when coldness of emotions will prevail in their internal state, they will have suicidal thoughts, but they will not do anything, they will not care at all whether they live or die. They may experience sounds as if a knife is stabbing into them. Their apartment is a mess. The reaction to everything: “well, okay...”, they stop fulfilling their duties. In contrast, Aurum will conscientiously perform its work even the day before suicide. They will do everything they were supposed to do and then suddenly commit suicide the next day. AFs feel abandoned and forgotten, they have the feeling that no one can help them. This is already a state close to Aurum, but it does not have that “metallic” shade that is characteristic of Aurum, there is no feeling of metal inside. The Sepia patient is actually indifferent, but his emotions arise much more easily and his irritability is much more pronounced. Nothing can shake an AF patient; he has no strength to do so. Sepia may experience irritation towards children, this is also an outburst of emotions. AFs don't have this - their ability to experience emotions becomes less and less and eventually all emotions die. He can no longer love or hate. In the second stage emotional weakness goes to the mental level. In the third stage, physical weakness develops. And when an AP patient experiences mental weakness, you will see the following picture. When asked “what are you complaining about?” the patient will look at you as if trying to remember something, and then answer: “I don’t feel well.” He may look at an object and ask you to give it to you, but he cannot remember its name. They react as if they were in the Cocculus state. The Cocculus patient is characterized by a slow response to stimuli. AF has weakness and fatigue throughout his body, and in his head there is a feeling that he knows absolutely nothing - as if his memory has been completely lost. They require effort to communicate. Therefore, socially they are not very active, because in society it is necessary to react quite quickly, and these people know how much effort they will have to put into this. They prefer to sit alone. This does not mean that they want to be alone, but they understand that they have characteristics that do not allow them to actively communicate. When an AF patient says: “I can’t think of anything, my head doesn’t work,” this appears after severe depression and indifference, i.e. mental, mental weakness occurs after emotional exhaustion, which is primary here. In this case, the patient may well work a lot physically. But after some time physical. his strength also leaves him. A patient in a state of FA may appear to you in a state of exhaustion, and you will see mainly the exhaustion of his mind. AF has one important somatic sm - “desire for refreshing”. When this s- is very pronounced and the patient is mentally exhausted, and you think about ac. Pitricum, then in this case you need to move on to AF. Another key AF condition is that the patient feels exhausted and his hair is falling out, total alopecia - eyebrows, eyelashes, body hair are falling out, i.e. weakness extends to the periphery of the body. Other characteristic– diarrhea from the slightest error in diet. As soon as the patient allows himself to deviate even a little from his usual diet, he experiences diarrhea (Valya). Diarrhea from sour milk products! But against the background of this diarrhea general health doesn't get much worse. Persistent constipation or diarrhea. Another sign of AF makes it necessary to differentiate it from Bryonia - exhaustion, a “leave me alone” state and at the same time worsening from movement. But the Bryonia patient is hot, and the patient AF is chilly. Patients with FA may experience downward pressure headache. This is very typical. Pressure from the top of the head down (Valya!). AF has another one etiological factor, bringing it closer to China - prolonged diarrhea or prolonged bleeding. After prolonged fluid loss, they may become AF.
They feel better when they don't have to fight anyone. And if they feel friendly support, their state becomes more balanced.
M.b. chronic medication, constitutional. Characterized by a kind of emotional neutrality. The patient says: “It’s as if I’m not alive.” Not a single emotion is experienced (except for periodic fear). The patient feels like a ghost, gliding through an unreal life and acting almost automatically (“everything is like a dream”). Such a person can effectively exist in the world for a long time without feeling anything inside; no happiness, no love, no sadness - in the place where emotions should be, one feels only emptiness, and he understands that this is a painful and abnormal state. The cause of this condition is deep grief - the loss of a husband or wife, after which the patient's emotions begin to gradually turn off. Similar m.b. and Na mur., but their emotions will never disappear so completely. AFs remember a time when they felt sad or happy and realize that now something is wrong with them. This causes anxiety, anxiety, which is vaguely aware, at least part of the time, and gives the state of emotional neutrality a depressing connotation. Grief can come in different forms. A young girl with an AF constitution, but who has not experienced deep emotional trauma, may have soft, but still quite tangible feelings. If she leaves her parents' home, especially if she leaves alone, she first misses her family (nostalgia), but gradually slides into a state of emotional "numbness" so typical of the pathology of AF. A state of prolonged emotional “numbness” in response to grief can only develop in a person with const.AF or with a Phosph constitution. There is a "pre-traumatic" AF constitution that is very similar to the Phosphorus constitution, but it is characterized by greater delicacy and submissiveness. After being given AF, patients can become similar to Ph.: sensitive, soft, impressionable people, although more introverted and calm compared to Ph. After a period of emotional numbness, the patient may begin to forget. Gradually, as memory deteriorates, thinking slows down and thoughts become as “frozen” as emotions were before. The patient says that in the middle of a thought a void appears in his head (mental pathology). As the thinking becomes increasingly filled with "blank spots", the patient finds that it becomes increasingly difficult for him to reason logically. If he is asked a question, he does not answer immediately. This slowdown is due to the fact that it now takes him longer to understand the question and formulate an answer. This is the “freezing” of thought processes in different areas brain In the end, understanding the question begins to require such Herculean efforts that the patient simply answers “I don’t know” to almost every one of them. It becomes increasingly difficult for him to live in peace. At first, he narrows his social contacts, refusing invitations or sitting passively in company. Simultaneously with the increase in confusion in his head, he begins to lose practical skills. Reading becomes impossible (“can hardly concentrate,” “cannot think for long”) and he soon loses the ability to work. The intellectual pathology of FA may resemble the pattern of Alumina or Arg.n. But Arg.n. exactly mental disorders come to the fore, while in AF they predominate emotional disturbances. However, patients with FA, like patients with Alumina or Arg.n., may feel increasing anxiety as their symptoms worsen. mental abilities, and it is anxiety that remains the emotion that remains with them (“anxiety about the future”). Although most AD patients with intellectual disabilities complain of slow or absent thoughts, some become hasty, at least periodically. This haste can be regarded as a universal response to incipient dementia, since it is also observed in dementia Alumina, Arg.n. and Medor. A person cannot think normally, and panic increases, which makes him rush around in attempts to compensate for his defect. The result of this is a further decrease in efficiency, which differs from the haste of Na mur., Lach. or Nux., which is goal-oriented and helps to achieve results. The characteristic physical symptom of AF is chronic profuse painless diarrhea, accompanied by anxiety and numbness of the extremities. As a result of emotional impoverishment, some AFs live with the feelings of people close to them, but at the same time their emotions have much less intensity. AF – syphilitic disease with a relatively pronounced picture mental pathology. He, like others, similar l-v(Alumina, Arg.n., Verat.a. and Stram.), the mental picture includes irresistible obsessive actions (“gestures - reaching out, trying to grab something”), which the patient subconsciously uses to maintain a certain mental stability. An example of compulsive behavior (obsession, addiction) AF may be. bulimia (compulsive eating disorder) – a person experiencing an emotional emptiness inside tries to fill it with food. Appearance: most patients have a “phosphorous” appearance - thin body, open, thin faces. Distinctive features them from Ph. are dark hair and dark skin (most Ph. are blond and fair-skinned). Exophthalmos. Osteoporosis due to leaching of Ca from bones. AF is part of Coca-Cola, so its excessive consumption leads to osteoporosis. The image of AF is a silent serf, exhausted by back-breaking labor. The main action of AF is caring for others. They make great efforts for this. If the effort is too great or if she is frustrated, they become exhausted and indifferent, quiet and thoughtful. Thus, struggle, a lot of effort and activity (rush, restlessness), are replaced by exhaustion and the desire for rest. FA causes paralytic weakness, a slowly progressive and debilitating condition. This is a remedy for low-grade fever that comes on gradually and subsides slowly, with a slow increase muscle weakness and powerlessness. Slowly progressing severe and seriously debilitating pathological processes.
AF is a sycotic drug. The main theme of acids is struggle, followed by exhaustion and exhaustion. The theme of struggle and exhaustion is clearly expressed in certain symptoms that are common to all acids: haste, industriousness, the feeling that their efforts are not achieving their goal, fear of failure, as well as fatigue, laziness and indifference. The main feeling Phosphorus, is a feeling that he is not loved, not cared for, to which he reacts with affection, friendliness and sympathy in the hope that his love and care will be reciprocated. When this effort becomes constant, the patient enters a state of AF. Thus, the main feeling of AF is the feeling: “I must constantly take care of others in order to be loved and accepted.” Along with caring for others, there is increased activity and haste. But when he has to put in too much effort and does not achieve what he wanted, he becomes grumpy, and later dull, lethargic, indifferent, or quiet and thoughtful. Factors leading to such a state will be: grief, worries, disappointments, death of a child. That is, despite all his love and care, if he is disappointed in the one he cares about, he becomes tired and indifferent. Apathy from an unequal struggle with unfavorable circumstances, mental or physical. The words “unequal struggle” reflect the feelings of most acids! AF is characterized by drowsiness, a tendency to think, aversion to business, affairs, apathy, hopelessness and despair. The AF situation is that of a person who has made an effort to climb a mountain and is so tired of it that he no longer has the strength to climb higher. The man tries, but the mountain turns out to be too difficult a test for him. He wants to rest and lie down, he is absolutely exhausted, he has no strength, so he sits down and sadly reflects on his unattainable goal. Situation Ignatia complementary to AF. When a young and very sensitive woman finds that her hopes are repeatedly dashed, she can reach a point where it is no longer useful to do anything. She needs to become insensitive and indifferent, because in this moment her sensitivity is useless - even her hysteria is of no use - and this apathy is an AF state. Gloomily reflects on his condition and his illness. Severe weakness and fatigue. Desire for juicy fruits and spicy foods. Unequal struggle. Very rapid growth of limbs. Diabetes. Short sleep improves the condition. Hypochondria is very typical when the patient indulges in hopeless and sad thoughts about his health. Mournfully reflects on his health and his disappointments. Homesickness, which in this remedy expresses a longing for a happier time, a memory of a time when he was surrounded by true love. Children are weak. Aversion and intolerance to milk - vomiting. Delayed physical and mental development.
Research on phosphoric acid (based on materials from Homeopathic Heritage)
Pharmacognosy. The substance, potentized and studied by Hahnemann, was prepared as follows: “1 pound of bones, calcined white and crushed into small pieces, was placed in a porcelain vessel and poured with 1 pound of the strongest sulfuric acid. The mixture was stirred with a glass rod several times during the day, then mixed well and diluted with 2 pounds of good brandy; placed in a linen bag and squeezed between 2 smooth planks with a load. Dilute what remains in the bag again with 2 pounds of brandy and add the resulting liquid to the first volume. It should stand for 2 days so that the dregs settle. The pure liquid must be filtered, evaporated in a porcelain vessel over a fire and melted at a red heat temperature. The molten phosphoric acid should be as pure as crystal and, while warm, divided into small fragments, and placed in a well-closed bottle, for when exposed to air, it soon changes completely into a thick liquid, as clear as water.” This process produces metaphosphoric acid, and new potencies are made from large quantities of the pure species.
Pharmacology. The main affinity of this acid is with the nervous system, confirmed by the induction of both depression and progressive muscle weakness. It is noted that dilute phosphoric acid is used in traditional medicine in cases of chronic lead poisoning. Affinity with the nervous system. Depression and muscle weakness of a progressive type.
Physiognomy. The person who needs this drug is most often a child or teenager, thin, acting small, tense. The adult also has a desperate, haggard, exhausted look. The face is pale, “tight,” with blue circles under the eyes. Pupils are not the same glassy look. Tendency to premature graying and hair loss. Reluctance to answer questions; They answer in monosyllables and with obvious reluctance. Worries too much about talking and answering in detail. Psychological asthenia precedes physical weakness
Psychology. Psychological asthenia precedes physical weakness and is the predominant symptom. The person is lethargic, apathetic, gloomy, indifferent and “angry as hell.” May be numb due to sadness, in despair, exhausted by unfavorable circumstances (unable to cope with them). Confused consciousness. Any attempt to concentrate leads to dizziness. Increased sensitivity to music, smells. Easily scared. Complaints of various strange sensations are possible: “goosebumps” all over the body. May be susceptible to homesickness. The condition can be caused by emotional shock or prolonged stress, as well as incontinence (sexual, etc.). Conditions that arise after “unhappy” love and separation.
Physiology. Severe chills. A person feels cold even in a warm room. Extremities are constantly cold. Moreover, chills and fever tend to alternate due to the unstable state of blood circulation. Fluctuations in blood pressure (both in hypotensive and hypertensive patients).
Appearance: Child/Adult: Thin, acts small, tense. Adult: Desperate, exhausted, worn out. Appetite is weak or absent. Possible aversion to bread that seems bitter. Bad taste remains in the mouth for a long time after drinking coffee. Intolerance to acidic foods, fresh fruits, cold drinks and fatty foods. Severe itching on the tip of the nose. There may be an unquenchable thirst, especially for milk or beer. The drowsiness of a fever may resemble stupor, but the person may return to full consciousness in a moment. Anxiety and dry heat can cause you to wake up completely at night. Intermittent moans, sleep-speaking, involuntary biting of the tongue in sleep. Dreams of death, with a feeling of fear on awakening. However, sleep is refreshing (even a short one during the day). Cold sweat on the upper limbs, hands and along the spine.
Modalities show aggravation from the slightest draft, wind, snow, also from any stress (mental or physical), from touch, lying on the left side. Noise, bad smells, music has a harmful effect, worse in the evenings and at night. Warmth, walking and sleep bring relief.
Pathology. Emotional stress, sadness, grief, caution, dissatisfaction, nostalgia for home, disappointment in love, in the case of prolonged and persistent feelings, can lead to an ambiguous state of apathy and physical exhaustion. This can be compared with Staphysagria (in the picture of the drug - indignation, envy) - injured pride - wounded feelings.
Tendency to catch colds.
Can also be compared to Ignatia, with its emotional instability, unpredictability, lack of self-control.
Head: Symptoms are often accompanied by a feeling of constriction or pressure, both local and general. A headache is possible, often occipital and severe, accompanied by a feeling as if strong pressure the crown is crushed, or as if the temples are being squeezed together. The person has to lie down and the pain is worsened by the slightest shock, movement or noise. Dizziness, especially when standing or walking. Accompanied by sensations as if falling forward, or as if legs would rise up while standing on head, as if body were floating out of bed. Feeling of emptiness in the head, vagueness.
Eyes: Tendency to stye, especially on upper eyelid. Sensation that the eyes are pressed into the skull. The eyelids are heavy and swollen (edematous).
Ears: Tinnitus various types, hearing loss is also common. Nagging pain in outer ear or external auditory canal.
Respiratory system: Note severe itching tip of the nose. Tendency to colds, they spread to the chest. A sore throat is accompanied by severe hoarseness, the inflammation worsens when swallowing, which causes shooting pain. A pinching pain in the chest, especially when exhaling, an overwhelming, constricting feeling that can affect breathing. Speech (conversation) provokes a “feeling of weakness” in the chest. "Stomach cough" is associated with tickling, as from a feather or dust, and is felt throughout the trachea. The cough is worse in the morning and again in the evening, also before going to bed, worse by contact with cold air. In the morning, yellowish, salty sputum comes out.
Digestive system: Often - changes in taste sensations. Burning pain V lower lip. Dry tongue and palate. Tendency to bleeding gums. After eating - bloating, discomfort and a feeling of heaviness in the stomach for about half an hour; Nausea and vomiting may follow several hours later. Warm food and liquid bring relief. This differs from Phosphorus, which prefers cold, even icy liquids. In the abdomen - very strong pinching and squeezing pain, especially around the navel; these pains worsen when bending the body both forward and backward. They are accompanied by “gurgling” and “rumbling”, as well as a large number of gases Painless diarrhea in the form of white or yellow, profuse, watery stools containing undigested parts of food. It is quite surprising that the patient feels better after having a bowel movement. This is noticeably different from Calcarea carbonica, where “it’s comfortable when you’re constipated.” Phosphoric acid may be prescribed when the "typhoid condition" occurs due to serious illness, and the intestines and bladder are involuntarily released.
Cardiovascular system: The myocardium and blood circulation are subject to general asthenia. Complaints about cardiopalmus, arrhythmia. Hidden bleeding or hemorrhagic rash may be detected.

Physiological action Ingestion of phosphoric acid in a toxic dose causes death due to severe gastroenteritis. In small and medium doses, it caused depression of mental abilities in our experimenters, various disorders vision and hearing, diarrhea with grayish-whitish stools; urine is pale, with the formation of thick white flakes; severe cough with expectoration of sputum, tendency to slow blood circulation in the extremities, especially in the hands; intense pain in the periosteum of all bones and fever with heavy sweats.

“For illnesses nervous system, for “phosphaturia”, for eating disorders, for diarrhea or cholera, phosphoric acid works well in dilutions from 3 to 12. But, as a tonic, for the genital area, for purpura, sugar disease and caries, it works better in a dose of a few drops of the first decimal dilution” (R. Hughes).Indifference to life is helped not by antidepressants, but by homeopathy, which in such cases offers an excellent means of human self-healing - Acidum phosphoricum.
Acidum phosphoricum (orthophosphoric acid) is an inorganic substance, an acid of medium strength. For the first time for homeopathic purposes it was produced from bones.
Orthophosphoric acid in homeopathy
In homeopathy, orthophosphoric acid is used after dilution to cure various diseases and as an antidepressant. Source: Flickr (Loyola University)Homeopathic dilution used for it: the first and second dilutions are made with an aqueous solution, the third dilution is alcohol + water in equal parts, all subsequent dilutions are diluted in pure alcohol.
Acidum phosphoricum undiluted is poisonous. When ingested, this substance affects the digestive tract with symptoms of acute gastroenteritis. The patient dies, experiencing severe abdominal pain. He has diarrhea and vomiting.
Smaller amounts of Acidum phosphoricum also cause these symptoms. The patient suffers from diarrhea with white flakes, decreased vision, and hearing loss. A painful cough may develop. Observed noticeable decrease cognitive abilities, mental depression, physical weakness.
This is interesting! IN clinical practice traditional medicine phosphoric acid used as an antidote for lead. Many cases of long-term lead poisoning have been reported from lead water pipes. Some older houses still have such pipes to this day.
Psychotype of the patient Acidum phosphoricum
The main characteristic of a patient with Acidum phosphoricum is severe weakness at all levels. The patient looks weak, feels weak and does not want to look for strength to live. As a rule, these are people who suffered a traumatic situation from which they were unable to recover, could not find the strength to survive it and leave it.
The patient exists in a state of latent grief. He is silent, depressed, inattentive. Often these are young people or children. Their condition is getting worse rapid growth. The physique is asthenic, the face is pale, the eyes are large, framed by blue circles. Hair is sparse, can be greasy, and falls out. They often suffer from headaches.
A distinctive feature is emotional evenness, coldness, indifference. The person does not react to what is happening outside. His only wish is to be left alone.
Constant depression, lack of desire to communicate with other people, desire for solitude and indifference to what is happening - all these signs are characteristic of patients with Acidum phosphoricum. Source: Flickr (Mikhail Chudakov). Emotional decline over time moves to the physical and mental levels. There is severe muscle weakness and lack of appetite. The person looks sloppy, he is indifferent to his appearance and the state of his home. The chaos surrounding him does not evoke emotions.
Those around him get the impression that the Phosphoric Acidum patient is too lazy to live, talk, die, work, rest. The emotional breakdown is experienced deep inside. This could be unsuccessful love, betrayal, or the departure of a loved one.
Attention! The cause of the Acidum phosphoricum patient's condition is always emotional trauma. People around may not realize what drama the patient is going through. The peculiarity of his psyche lies in this - what is a nuisance for others is a real grief for him.
The effect of Acidum phosphoricum on the patient's body
The main property of phosphoric acid in homeopathy is its effect on the nervous and muscular constitution of a person.
The inhibitory effect of small doses of phosphoric acid forces the patient’s body to accumulate all its strength to fight increasing weakness and progressive depression. After taking the drug, a temporary deterioration in the condition occurs. With continued treatment, the picture changes to the opposite - the patient recovers.

Pharmacognosy of the drug
The substance, which was potentized by Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann, was prepared using the following recipe: 1 pound of bones was roasted white and crushed into small pieces, after which they were placed in a porcelain vessel and poured with sulfuric acid in equal quantities.
The resulting mixture was thoroughly mixed several times during the day, after which it was diluted in a 1:1 ratio with good brandy.
The resulting mixture was placed in a linen bag and kept under pressure. What remained in it had to be refilled with 2 pounds of brandy and left alone for two days so that all the sediment remained at the bottom.
The clear liquid was then filtered and evaporated in a porcelain bowl over a fire. The resulting acid had to be crystal clear and, even before it cooled completely, it was divided into small particles and placed in well-closed bottles.
The fact is that exposure to air contributed to the oxidation of the substance, which is why over time it became “a thick liquid, clear as water.”
