SBL ACIDUM SALICYLICUM (DILUTION)

Acidum salicylicum, also known as Salicylic acid, is a homoeopathic preparation derived from C₆H₄(OH).CO.OH, naturally found in Spiræa blossoms and Gaultheria, and also artificially derived from phenol. In homoeopathy, it is known for its powerful influence on the nervous system, bones, joints, digestive tract, and mucous membranes. It supports recovery from infections, chronic rheumatic states, and deep-seated constitutional weakness, especially where there is offensive discharges, restlessness, and auditory disturbances.
