AMMONIUM MURIATICUM Am-m.

Night brings our troubles to the light, rather than banishes them.
[Seneca]

SIGNS
Ammonium chloride. Sal Ammoniac. Salmiac.

CHEMISTRY Ammonium chloride appears either as crystals or as a gas. There is no liquid


phase. The white, crystalline substance is saline, cooling and slightly bitter in taste. Being
readily hydroscopic, it should be kept away from moisture. It vaporizes without melting at
3400 C to form equal volumes of ammonia and hydrogen chloride.
HISTORY "Known as sal ammoniac in the West, nao sha in China, nao sadar in India, and
nushadir in Persia and Arabic lands, the chloride of ammonia first became known to the
West in the C hou-i ts' an t' ung ch' i, a Chinese treatise of the 2nd century AD. It was to be
cmeial to a1chemy, for on sublimation it dissociates into antagonistic corrosive materiais,
ammonia and hydrochloric acid, which readily attack metals."l Mercury ammonium chloride
was the sal alembroth of a1chemy, also called salt of wisdom. The eagle, queen of birds,
signifies sal ammoniac, because of its lightness in sublimations. [In many places Paracelsus,
however, uses it for precipitated mercury.]
USES Ammonium chloride is chiefly used as an electrolyte in dry cells. It is also employed
in dyeing printing textiles, in tanning leather, in freezing mixtures, in safety explosives, and
as a constituent of galvanizing, tinning, and soldering fluxes to remove oxide coatings from
metais and thereby improving the adhesion of the solders. In medicine it is used as a
stimulant expectorant [coughs and colds], as a cholagogue, as a urinary acidifier and diuretic
[to relieve alkalosis], as a cooling and stimulating skin wash, as an acidifier in eye
lotions, and to promote lead excretion. The food industry uses sal ammoniac as a dough
conditioner and a yeast food in bread, rolls, and buns, as well as in the beer stages of the
fermentation of the wort in brewing. Salmiac is the main ingredient of salt liquorice, a
confectionery having a laxative effect.
I
DISSOLVENT Adding sal ammoniac [ammonium chloride] to nitric acid gives aqua regia,
so named for its ability to dissolve the royal metal, gold.
EFFECTS "Salmiac dissociates as the salt of a strong acid and in contrast to the carbonate is
stronger electrically and less hydrolytic. The lack of odour of this salt suggests that no
ammonia is set free. Therefore in the organism the liberation of ammonia is less stormy so
that the elaboration to urea and the excretion through the urine and sweat in general is more
extensive. With larger doses an increased secretion of a urinous smelling sweat is observed.
One may expect from ammonium muriaticum a more prolonged ammonium action and
moreover in the liberation from hydrochloric acid and its neutralization [through sodium] an
approximation of Muriaticum acidum and Natrum muro Likewise Magnesia muriatica is
recalled particularly by the gastrointestinal symptoms. In being less hydrolytic, it lacks the
hydrogenoid trend and the aggravation from damp and cold of Am-c."2
EXTREMES Ammonium chloride includes both extremes of coldness and heat: it keeps
snow from melting on ski slopes, and it occurs in nature in voleanic regions [notably, Mt.
Vesuvius, Italy, and Paricutin Voleano, Michoacan, Mexico]. It forms on voleanic rocks
near fume releasing vents. The crystallization occurs as the gases are escaping. The crystals
tend to be short-lived; they will be removed during the first rain of their existence [sal
anunoniac is very soluble in water].
DARK - LIGHT Sal ammoniac clarifies and sal ammoniac blurs. As a coating on dark
objects that are about to be photographed it adds detail to the subject and thus improves the
picture. Employed in heater coils it produces smoke, a popular effect used in theatrical
productions.
PROVINGS .. [1] Hahnemann - 3 provers; method: unknown.
.. [2] Gumpert - 7 patients; method: 'Dr. Gumpert commenced by adrninistering 1/2 or 1
dram in 24 hours, increasing doses by 1 dram every 3 or 4 days, until 4-6 drams were taken
daily.'

COMPARISONS
Q COMMON SYMPTOMS OF MURIATICUMS [AM-M., MAG-M., NAT-M.]
I Anxiety / Restlessness at night. - Delusions / visions of fIre. - Irritability during headache.
Misanthropy. - Heaviness of head in moming on rising. - Headache during menses. -

night; dark, black, clotted. - Letting limbs hang down >. - Dreams: anxious; joumeys; water.
Aversion to meat. - After perspiration >. - Pressure >.

MAIN SYMPTOMS
* Similar to Nat-m. and Mag-m. [reserved, withdrawn, suppressed grief], due to
the muriatieum-element, as well as to Nitrogen [eritieism, hatred, resentment].
M Sadness but CANNOT WEEP.
More reserved and closed than Am-e.
. "Less stormy."
. "But deep inside they feel an enormous resentment." [Scholten]
Ailments from grief; disappointment.
M Anxious dreams.
. "Anxious dreams, with feeling of embarrassment; anxious dreams of fire, of water,
of going over deep water, of bad bridges, of danger of being drowned." [Hoyne]
M Irritability and bad humour, esp. in the moming.
& Aversion to talk.
But: "Excitement when talking on an important subject." [Allen]
M Resentment from disappointment.
. "They miss a feeling of security."
. "Very critical, not even the smallest matter escapes their criticism."
. "Aversion to company, conversation and consolation."
. "They feel that there is very little gentleness and love left in this world. If they do
happen to come across some expression of this love, they are very quick to kill it
with their criticism. Not many people can stand tbis cynicism for very long and
people soon give up trying to be kind to them. This keeps the vicious circle going,
the Ammonium muriaticums become hard and they feel that they have to be in order
to protect themselves against the hardness of other people." [Scholten]

nose, which makes the inside of the nostriis and upper lip sore. The throat is swollen, so that
the patient cannot open his mouth. The mouth and throat are filled with a viscid phlegm, which
the patient expels with great difficulty." [Farrington]
