Part of the problem I have living with Cerebral Palsy is that I deal with Brain fatigue. The Homeopathic remedy "Picricum Acidum" 30c is helping, so I thought I'd do an article for anyone who may be interested in looking into it, if that is what you also deal with.

Homeopathic Remedies

Picric Acid is a homeopathic remedy for fatigue. It helps anyone who suffers with severe mental fatigue. This remedy also helps with impaired thinking, weakness of the mind, dull or sluggish thoughts, lack of willpower, being disinclined to work, mental exertion and brain fog. It has other uses too.

If some of your symptoms fit in with some of the symptoms mentioned above, then Picric Acid would be a good remedy for you to try. Because it's not a standard remedy, it's not available over the counter, but through any Homeopathic Pharmacy.

As with all alternative medication, it's important to seek advice first, just to make sure Picricum Acidum is relevant to your particular symptoms.

    1. Randy, glad we spoke just now. I didn't know I had it either, there is no information out there to explain what it means and why we might have it living with CP. I was told by a friend of mine who also has cerebral palsy. It's very common with this condition.

  1. Thanks Ilana: this is very useful information for all of us, especially those of us who like to procrastinate LOL or those of us who are disinclined to work...You are a great asset to us all.

    1. Bill for your information the homeopathic remedy is prepared from carbolic acid, nitric acid and sulfuric acid. The good thing about homeopathy is that it is watered down in order for it to be safe for human consumption.

      Hope this helps.

  2. I'm thinking this would be good for many people but not for me. I think it's very interesting. Thank you Ilana.

  3. Is it available in the US? I've never heard of this. I definitely would benefit from it, with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue.

  4. Lisa any homeopathic pharmacy should sell it in America, but if they don't come back to me and I will sort it out for you, that is no problem.

  5. Thanks Ilana for your help and i know that given time my picric will help my brain to think better and for longer... your a gem!
