Argentum nitricum

Commentary:

  • Nitrogen and nitrates have to do with the astral body, the soul life. Silver, argentum, controls the moon forces, sensuality, the lower organism. This illustrates the difficult to control impulsive nature of this remedy. The almost involuntary impulsiveness can lead to a hysteric personality trait.
