ACID GROUP( -OH) INTRODUCTION Acids are more or less of electronegative character. All acids are not sour to taste. They all combine very readily with the electropositive substances as Potassium and Sodium. Majority of acids contain Oxygen. Hydrofluoric and Muriatic acids contain no Oxygen. These acids are derived from mineral and vegetable kingdoms. Hydrocyanic acid exists in great variety of plants. Oxalic acid exists in "Sorrel grass" and rhubarb. Malic and Citric Acid are derived from vegetable kingdom i.e. apples, pears, raspberries and oranges, lemons respectively. Acetic Acid is an organic acid and it is main ingredient of vinegar. Lactic acid is derived from sour milk. Acids show excoriating and burning properties. Acids are closely related to Ammoniums. Citric, Tartaric and Acetic acids are used for preparing tasty dishes. The term 'Acid' is multi linguistically derived from many languages (Acere/Acro/Acris/Astrus) meaning sharp pointed, pungent, sour tart or a razor. 'Astrus' in Greek is Oxus, hence Oxygen means Acid producer; Oxygen is also called as Acidifying Principle. To live is to Oxygenated or Acidified. Human body is a chemical factory and is demand of acids one after another. Various acids like pyruvic, lactic, carbonic, sulphuric, phosphoric, Uric are produced after burning proteins, fats and carbohydrates. All the life body is neutralising the acid or eliminating it. Nucleus of cell is acidic (Nucleic acids). The main principle of physiology is to finetune acid elimination so that body stay just on the alkaline border of neutrality. Acid-base balance means regulation of hydrogen ion concentration in body fluids. Following are the important characteristics of Acid Group remedies. Exhaustion & prostration, (mental, emotional & physical) Active, Hurried, No complaints, Hurriedness leads to a tired feeling, which further leads to exhaustion, Restlessness,< Night, they are Lively, fresh, Extrovert, Active, enterprising, Optimistic which gives them an aura of freshness. Talk very openly. Tendency to be perfectionist. Desire for Company, Capriciousness, Cheerful are important features.

IMPORTANT REMEDIES Acetic Acid (Glacial Acetic Acid) Arsenicum Album (Arsenious Acid) Benzoicum Acidum (Benzoic Acid)

COMMON TRAITS AND GROUP CHARACTERISTICS Sphere of Action: Sphere of action of most acids is Mind, Mucous Membranes, Blood, Skin, Brain, Margins of outlets, Glands, Tubular organs, Metabolism, Sexual organs, Secretions.

They also have tendency to produce thepseudomemranes. Most of the acids produce a peculiar debility, not simple, exhaustion, functional or nervous weakness but that due to defective nutrition and particularly from blood diseases.

Pricking like needle. Depressive irritant to nerves; neuropathic (Acet-ac., Hydr-ac., Ph-ac., Pic-ac.,). Senses first active, then lost. Mineral acids produce irritability of fibre & irritable weakness whereas vegetable acids produce weakness without irritability. All acids produce exhaustion. Physiologically too exhaustion is accompanied with acid imbalance. Blood disorganization. Slow progressive metabolic disorders. Particular complaints and clinical Applications: In acid aggression and fighting nature is expressed physically in the form of biting, itching character, aphthae, ulcers, fissures, fistula etc. Their pains are burning and biting and stitching . They are used for accidents and sprains. Their discharges are watery, acrid, sour and stained with blood.
