CHLORINUMLiquid

Chlorinum is a deep-acting homoeopathic medicine prepared from Chlorine gas, noted for its profound influence on the respiratory tract, glands, skin, mucous membranes, and blood. It is particularly suited to conditions marked by ulceration, destructive catarrh, glandular enlargement, emphysematous breathing, and corrosive discharges.
Its action is especially valuable in laryngeal affections (including diphtheritic states), chronic bronchitis, asthma, tuberculosis, throat ulcerations, and malignant skin conditions. Chlorinum also affects the circulation, producing weakness, faintness, and haemorrhagic tendencies.

Common Name: Chlorine Gas – Cl₂

SBL’s Chlorinum can be helpful in the following conditions:

Respiratory and Laryngeal Affections

• Helps in violent dyspnoea, gasping for air, and suffocative attacks—worse on the slightest exertion.
• Bronchitis, laryngitis, and diphtheritic throat conditions with hoarseness and raw scraping sensation.
• Supports emphysema and “air hunger,” where breathing becomes difficult, noisy, and laborious.
• Aids in ulceration of the larynx and trachea with burning and corrosive expectoration.
• Beneficial for loss of voice from overuse, irritation, or laryngeal weakness.
• Helps when cold air instantly aggravates the breathing and induces coughing or suffocation.

Tubercular and Catarrhal States

• Phthisical (tubercular) tendencies, particularly with hectic fever, night sweats, and wasting.
• Catarrh with profuse, acrid, corrosive mucus that excoriates the skin and air passages.
• Helps chronic nasal catarrh with burning, ulceration, and obstruction.
• Aids ulcerations inside the nose and throat, especially with offensive discharges.

Glands and Lymphatic System

• Supports enlarged lymph nodes, particularly in the neck and submaxillary region.
• Aids in scrofulous constitutions, especially children with chronic glandular swelling and poor nutrition.
• Indurations following inflammation of glands.

Skin Disorders and Ulcerations

• Malignant, phagedenic, or rapidly spreading ulcers with burning, stinging, and greenish discharge.
• Helps eczema, urticaria, and psoriatic patches with intense irritation.
• Aids conditions with bruised discoloration, ecchymoses, and haemorrhagic spots.
• Supports skin that is pale, anaemic, and unhealthy, easily ulcerating or cracking.

Circulatory Weakness and Haemorrhagic Tendency

• Supports cases of general circulatory weakness with fainting, trembling, and great prostration.
• Helps in epistaxis, haemorrhage from mucous membranes, or blood streaking in sputum.
• Conditions resembling incipient heart failure, with dyspnoea and anxiety.

Digestive and Oral Irritation

• Aids in burning of the mouth and throat, with rawness and difficult swallowing.
• Supports ulcerative stomatitis with offensive, acrid saliva.
• Helpful in gastric irritation worsened by warm food and aggravated by exertion.

Eye and Mucous Membrane Symptoms

• Manages burning and smarting of eyes, with acrid lachrymation.
• Conjunctival irritation, redness, and swelling from chemical or inflammatory causes.
• Supports ulceration of the cornea with acrid tears and photophobia.

Sensitive to cold

• Extreme sensitivity to cold air, especially breathing it.
• Marked burning sensations in affected parts.
• Tendency to ulceration, glandular swellings, emaciation, and weakness.
