Muriatic acid

Hydrochloric acid · Human-made/chemical

Cowperthwaite

Muriatic Acid is indicated in states of profound prostration and debility, particularly in typhoid or typhus where the patient becomes so weak the jaw drops and the body slides down in bed. The haemorrhoidal picture is characteristic: large, grape-like, bluish, intensely sore haemorrhoids. There is also putrid ulceration of mucous surfaces with extreme sensitiveness.

Key symptoms

  • Haemorrhoids protruding like a bunch of grapes, swollen, blue, burning and sore
  • Ulcers on genitals with putrid discharges and much sensitiveness
  • Great debility in typhus fever; lower jaw hangs down
  • Patient slides down in bed from profound weakness
