Exclusively Documented in Boericke

This remedy is documented exclusively in Boericke's Materia Medica. It does not appear in other classical references in this encyclopedia.

🎯 It acts as a profound remedy for states of extreme muscular exhaustion, prostration, and physical fatigue.

📖 Boericke writes:

Is apparently formed in muscle tissue during the stage of muscle exhaustion. Differs from ordinary Lactic acid in its relation to polarized light. It represents a much broader and more profoundly acting drug and its pathogenesis is quite dissimilar from the normal acid. Proved by Wm. B. Griggs, M. D, who found it of great value in the most violent form of Epidemic influenza, especially with violent and retching and greatest prostration, when Arsenic had failed. Spinal neurasthenia, muscular weakness, dyspnoea with myocardial weakness.
