Natrum Phosphorica

An acid neutralizer. While body fluids are both acid and alkaline, deficiency only occurs in the alkaline factor, since acid is an organic component, always present, when diet is adequate. Therefore what is called “Hyperacidity” is really a deficiency of the inorganic salt that combines with it – Nat. Phos.
