Oxalicum Acidum, or oxalic acid, is a remedy used in homeopathy.

In its natural state it is a diacid which can be harmful to health.

It can cause local irritation and circulatory problems.

It is also present in the form of oxalate and binds easily to minerals such as calcium.

Its absorption in large quantities can lead to calcium deficiency.

However, Oxalicum Acidum has therapeutic properties that help to relieve many urological disorders.

The homeopathic strain is obtained from vegetables rich in oxalic acid, such as spinach and rhubarb.

It comes in the form of a white crystalline powder.

Urology

Oxalicum Acidum is used in urology to treat disorders of the urinary organs.

It helps to cure oxaluria, which is characterised by the presence of oxalate in the urine.

It is used to relieve attacks of renal colic caused by kidney stones.

Renal colic  is characterised by severe pain in the kidneys.

Oxalicum Acidum is also used to treat urinary problems associated with weakness and asthenia.

It is given to people who pass a lot of urine or have a frequent need to urinate.
