SARCOLACTICUM ACIDUM
Sarcol-ac.
This substance forms in muscle tissue during exhaustion and differs from regular lactic acid in its interaction with polarized light. It acts more broadly and deeply than ordinary lactic acid, with a distinct pathogenesis. Dr. Wm. B. Griggs discovered its value in severe epidemic influenza, especially with violent retching and extreme weakness, where Ars. is ineffective. It helps with spinal neurasthenia, muscle weakness, and shortness of breath due to heart weakness.
Symptoms include fatigue with muscle exhaustion, worsened by exertion. There’s a sore sensation, especially in the afternoon, and restlessness at night. Sleep is hard to come by, and mornings bring tiredness upon waking.
Throat: Tightness in the pharynx, sore throat with nasal tightness, and a tickling sensation in the throat.
Stomach: Nausea and uncontrollable vomiting, even water, followed by severe weakness.
Back and Extremities: Fatigue in the back, neck, and shoulders, paralytic weakness, wrist fatigue from writing, extreme weakness from stair climbing, thigh and calf stiffness, and a lack of arm strength, with cramps in the calves.
Dose: Use in the 6th to 30th potency, with the 15x potency having the strongest effect (according to Griggs).

selection of the potency
Individualization:
- Homeopathy is based on the principle of treating the individual, not just the disease. The unique symptoms and characteristics of the person are crucial in determining the most suitable potency.
Intensity of Symptoms:
- The intensity of the symptoms guides the choice of potency. If the symptoms are intense and acute, a lower potency (e.g., 6C, 30C) might be considered. For chronic conditions with less intensity, higher potencies (e.g., 200C, 1M) may be appropriate.
Sensitivity of the Patient:
- Some individuals are more sensitive to homeopathic remedies, while others may require higher potencies. The practitioner considers the patient’s sensitivity when selecting the potency.
Acute vs. Chronic Conditions:
- Lower potencies are often used for acute conditions, while higher potencies may be considered for chronic or long-standing issues.
Previous Response to Potencies:
- The patient’s response to previous homeopathic treatments helps guide the choice of potency. If a particular potency has been effective in the past, it may be repeated or adjusted as needed.
Vital Force and Susceptibility:
- Homeopathy views illness as a disturbance in the vital force. The practitioner assesses the patient’s overall vitality and susceptibility to determine the appropriate potency.
Aggravation or Amelioration:
- The direction of the symptom response (aggravation or amelioration) after taking a remedy can influence the choice of potency.
Miasmatic Considerations:
- In classical homeopathy, the concept of miasms (inherited disease tendencies) is considered. The practitioner take this into account when selecting the potency.
Practitioner Experience:
- The experience and preference of the homeopathic practitioner play a role. Some practitioners may have success with certain potencies based on their clinical experience.
