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.
