SBL ACIDUM HYDROFLUORICUM (DILUTION)

Acidum hydrofluoricum (Fluoricum acidum) is a homoeopathic medicine derived from Hydrofluoric acid, known for its specific action on chronic conditions, especially those with a syphilitic or mercurial history. It is particularly beneficial for conditions involving deep, destructive processes, such as ulcerations, varicose veins, and bedsores. Fluoricum acidum is also used to address the symptoms of premature aging, weak blood vessels, and conditions that affect the bones and teeth, including the early decay of teeth and issues related to liver dysfunction.

Common Name: Fluoric Acid

SBL's Acidum hydrofluoricum can be helpful in the following conditions:

• Chronic Diseases & Ulcerations

• Increased sexual passion and nocturnal erections, with swelling of the scrotum.
