Desire to drink alcohol

Sulfuric Acid Q – As per Dr. Farrington’s recommendation, two to three drops of the root extract of this medicine should be mixed with half a glass of water and administered at intervals of two to three hours, in a quantity of one teaspoon per dose, until a dislike for alcohol is established in the patient’s mind. It’s worth noting that the use of this medicine may lead to mouth ulcers, and diarrhea may also occur. If diarrhea ensues, administering ‘Pulsatilla 30‘ helps alleviate it. When blisters develop, the use of Sulfuric Acid Q should be halted until they subside, and it can be resumed as needed to curb the inclination to consume alcohol.

Quercus-Gland Q, 3x – Dr. Clark recommends adding ten drops of the original extract Q of this medicine to a small teaspoonful of hot water and consuming it three to four times a day. This approach aids in cultivating a distaste for alcohol.
