Headache: A useful medicine for headache from long lasting grief and exhausted
nerves. It is useful for congestive headaches in school going girls from slight exertion
of mind and overuse of eyes. There are periosteal pains, bone aches, as if scraped;
better by motion; when lying, the pain shifts to side lain on. Morning headaches.
Patient is sensitive to cold weather and also to a warm room. During headache, the pain
often begins in the back of the head and spreads to the top of the head; sensation as if a
crushing weight were on top of the head. There is pressure as from a weight on the
head from above downwards. These headaches are associated with mental weakness
and brain fag; so tired and exhausted. Worse from mental or physical exertion, from
being talked to, light cold weather. Better from keeping warm, absolute quiet, being
alone and at rest.

5/17/2018 Acid Phos 200 Uses - Acidum Phosphoricum 30 Benefits | Homeopathic Medicine And Treatment

urination at night. Urine is clear, watery, but forms a white cloud due to excessive
phosphate in urine caused by nerve waste. There is a constant urging to urinate,
involuntary urination. In the morning, a few drops of gleety discharge appear in the
urine.

Sexual sphere: It is a very useful medicine for senile debility from bad effects of
sexual excesses. There is sexual weakness, prolonged exhaustion, impotency in
masturbators having nocturnal pollutions with great exhaustion. The patient is sad,
depressed, apathetic, hopeless and has despair of recovery. There is prostatorrhoea
immediately after every erection; discharge of prostatic fluids. Even when passing a
soft stool, prostatic fluid is discharged.

Typhoid: It is a very typical medicine for typhoid fever. The complaints come on
slowly, are slow to decline and slowly increase the prostration. Such appearances
characterize the advanced stage of typhoid. It has prostration, tympanitic abdomen, dry
brown tongue, sordes on teeth, gradually approaching unconsciousness; little thirst,
increasing to intense thirst with craving for much water during perspiration; wants to
be left alone; looks at a questionnaire with glassy eyes as if slowly comprehending the
question; pupils contracted or dilated; eyes sunken; hippocratic continence; continued
fever, bleeding from the nose, lungs, bowels; haemorrhage from any mucous
membrane; sunken eyes; discoloured lips, covered with sordes, becoming very black,
prostration gradually increasing. Finally comes the muscular Soreness which increases
until the jaw drops and it seems that the patient may die of exhaustion. It cures such
states which come from haemorrhages and checks the haemorrhage, it rarely prevents
dropsy. There is a state of anaemia; pale lips and tongue; coldness of parts.
