Magnesia carbonica is a homeopathic remedy obtained by successive dilutions of magnesium carbonate, better known as "white magnesia" or magnesia carbonate.

Magnesium carbonate is a chemical compound that appears as a white, light, odourless and tasteless earthy mass.

Magnesium carbonate is very insoluble in cold water, but dissolves easily in dilute acids.

Therefore, to prepare the mother tincture of magnesia carbonica, the magnesia carbonate is diluted in dilute acid and this solution is diluted as many times as necessary to obtain the required dose of the homeopathic remedy.

Although magnesia carbonica comes in many forms, the most commonly used are granules and powder.

Gastroenterology indications

Magnesia carbonica, a remedy widely used in gastroenterology, is generally recommended for all disorders of the mouth, throat, stomach and abdomen, as well as for evacuation disorders.

In the mouth, a person feels a burning pain at night. These pains are particularly felt in the teeth and also occur after eating.
