ACIDUM TANNICUM - MT

Indication

Acidum tannicum, commonly known as Tannic Acid, is a potent astringent derived chiefly from nut-galls (Gallo-tannic acid) or oak leaves and bark (Querci-tannic acid). In its homoeopathic form, it aids in controlling excessive secretions of mucous membranes, supports the digestive tract, and treats stubborn constipation and abdominal discomfort. Its action is prominently local and astringent, helping in conditions marked by bleeding, fetid discharges, and spasmodic abdominal pain. Tannicum acidum also assists in cases of foul-smelling sweat (osmidrosis), obstinate vomiting, and functional ileus, where physical examination reveals intestinal enlargements.

Common Names: Tannic Acid, Digallic Acid
