Elements over most left are more incomplete, they search for completeness, they have a feeling of lack – lacks identity, lack of support, lacks confidence, lacks security, stamina, relationship, position and so on. (Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium) Whereas those over right side are more capable to complete their structure by their own self without any help – more efforts putting elements. (Phosphorus, Sulphur, Halogens) Elements in center are not much reactive – they are some what stable (Carbon and Silica) © 2019, University of Cyberjaya.

What are the different types of acids that you know? What are the acids we use daily? © 2019, University of Cyberjaya. Please do not reproduce, redistribute or share without the prior express permission of the  CHARACTERISTICS OF ACID GROUP: Sphere of Action: Inorganic acids – Skin and mucous membranes Blood and blood vessels. Organic acids – Muscle and tendons Connective tissue and soft tissue Endocrine organs Sexual organs Inorganic acids are more deep acting than organic acids. © 2019, University of Cyberjaya. Please do not reproduce, redistribute or share without the prior express permission of the  CHARACTERISTICS OF ACID GROUP: Ailments from: Mentals – Grief, mortification, mental exertion, separation, disappointed love Physicals – Surgical shock, loss of sleep, bad effect of bites and stings, after anesthesia, abuse of narcotics, debauchery, occupational hazards, injury, loss of vital fluids, physical exertion, infection – bacterial or viral © 2019, University of Cyberjaya. Please do not reproduce, redistribute or share without the prior express permission of the  CHARACTERISTICS OF ACID GROUP: Patho-Physiological Action: The common characteristic of the acids is exhaustion. Physiologically exhaustion is accompanied by an acid imbalance. The acid as a class they decrease the acidic secretion of the body and increase the alkaline. E.g. When citric acid is taken into stomach it will diminish the secretion of gastric juice, but on other hand, it will increase secretion of saliva. In gastro intestinal tract the hydrochloric acid help in process of digestion of food, here acid – peptic balance is maintained so there is no formation of ulceration in the mucus membrane. © 2019, University of Cyberjaya. Please do not reproduce, redistribute or share without the prior express permission of the  CHARACTERISTICS OF ACID GROUP: Patho-Physiological Action: Irritant, cathartic action, inflammation infection with severe pain due to ulceration and painless condition i.e. gangrene. Toxemia, septicemia, ulceration and malignancy. Allergic Hypovolemic shock. Anemia, leukemia, hemolytic – jaundice metabolic acidosis. Slow, progressive, metabolic diseases.
