Lacticum acidum
- Common name: Lactic Acid.
- Origin - Lactic acid is obtained from sour milk, resulting from the fermentation of the sugar of milk under the influence of casein.
- Preparation for Homoeopathic use - One part by weight of pure lactic is dissolved in 99 parts by weight of alcohol.
- (A very complete proving of this remedy will be found in Allen's Encyclopedia of Pure Materia Medica, but little use seems to have been made of it, though the following by Dr. Tybel-Aschersleben, allgemeine Hom. Zeitung, March 13, 1890, seems to show that it is very efficient in certain forms of rheumatism.)
- We are by no means rich in remedies against arthritic rheumatism, and those which we do use lack the reputation of being reliable.
- A new and a valuable remedy will therefore be a welcome addition to this list.
- I say reliable, in as much as this remedy is truly homoeopathically indicated for, according to Foster, of Leitz.
- Niemyer's Pathology, 10th edition, 2nd vol., p. 561: "Lactic acid in large doses and used for a long time will produce symptoms entirely analogous to arthritic rheumatism."
- We also find mention elsewhere that the use of lactic acid occasioned rheumatic pains in the thigh.
