AMMONIUM GROUP OF DRUGS:
AMMONIUM MURIATICUM
COMMON NAME : Sal Ammoniac. Ammonium chloride.
NH4Cl.
SOURCE : Mineral kingdom
PREPARATION : First decimal solution withater,subsequent dilutions with alcohol. Also triturations.
PROVER : Dr.Hahnemann
SPHERE OF ACTION : Mucous membranes, Extremiies, Skin, Eyes, G.I.T, G.U.T.
Am-m. affects mucous membranes increasing the secretion in the lungs and gallbladder ducts. Am-c. has fat all over. Fatty tumors. Large buttocks. Obesity. Body fat but the legs are thin.
A state of prostration bordering on a typhoid state is produced by this remedy. Tendency to irregular circulation, blood seems to be in constant turmoil, pulsations. Am-m. causes ulceration and ulcerative or festering pain. Neuralgic pains in the stumps of amputated limbs. Hemorrhages. Boiling sensation. Tension and tightness, as if the muscles or tendons are too short in groins, hamstrings, lumbar region etc.
CONSTITUTION : It is especially adapted to fat and sluggish patients who have respiratory troubles. It is adapted to patients who are fat, puffy and sluggish with thin limbs, who always feel tired and sore.
AILMENTS: Cold, Wet Weather, Sedentary life, Grief, Anxiety, Fear, Fright, Mental&Physical exertion, Virulent poisoning, After operations.
CLINICAL :Anosmia. Bronchitis. Colds. Constipation. Coryza. Cough. Diarrhea. Eyes inflammation. Fatty tumors. Feet, pains. Glands, enlarged. hemorrhoids. Liver disorders. Melancholia. Menstruation, disorders during. Obesity. Pneumonia. Sciatica. Scurvy. Spleen, pains. Sprains.
CHARACTERISTICS
Am.mur. is less prominently a right-side medicine than Am.c.; Guernsey regards it as rather left-sided. It acts specially also on the forehead. It causes ulceration and ulcerative pains; also dislocation-like pains and tension as if tendons were contracted. Both cause paralytic weakness; both are < in open
air.
Am.mur. has > from warm bath. Am.carb. has greater sensibility to cold and to damp weather than the muriate. Both have itching eruptions of all kinds; drowsiness by day with indolence; shivering in the evening. The mental state
is very similar in the two. The muriate has perhaps more melancholy and disposition to tears than the other; and it has peculiar to itself "antipathy to certain persons."
Am.mur. has fear of darkness, like Stram., which is not noted under Am.carb. The muriate has fullness in head; weight in forehead.
Burning in eyes in twilight or in morning with photophobia. Keratitis. Ulceration in corners of mouth. Sensation in stomach as if fasting, which nevertheless feels full; < after breakfast. Intermittent pains in both hypochondria. Stitches and burning in liver region, stitches in spleen < sitting. Tension in either groin.
Shootings in scapula and ice-cold sensation between scapulae, unrelieved by external wraps. In the fever chilliness predominates. Choudhury cured with it a case of intermittent characterised by absence of thirst in all stages.
Constipation and piles with bleeding at stool. Sore, smarting haemorrhoids. Hard stool covered with mucus; mucous secretions generally increased.
Menses too early and too copious (Am.c.), with pains in loins. Vomiting, diarrhoea, and neuralgic pains in feet during period.
Coryza, acrid, watery; scalding hot; with cold feeling between shoulders. Loss of smell. Cough and asthmatic symptom < evening and at night and < in open air.
Pain as from ulceration at tips of fingers. Neuralgic pains in stumps of amputated limbs (Al. cep.). Ulcerative pains in heels (ulcers from friction Al.cep.). (Panaris.) Sciatic pain as if tendons were too short.
< Sitting or walking. Tension in legs on lying. Large buttocks. Fatty tumours. Obesity. Body fat; legs thin (Am.c., fat all over).

RESPIRATORY ORGANS:Increased mucus in larynx causes frequent hawking and spitting.
BACK:Pains across sacrum, with urgency to stool.
RELATIONS:

Voigt took three grains of Am.Phos., with the result: In about an hour, attacked by a sense of tightness in the precordia and around the chest;nausea; thirst; a hard, small frequent pulse; and a collapsed state of the circulation.
