The attenuations of this remedy are prepared from a trituration of Cerium(III)-ox- alate, Ce₂ (C₂O₄)₃ · x H₂O, MW: 544.3.

The main indications are:

Chronic vomiting. Hyperemesis.

Cerium Oxalicum has also proved its worth generally in chronic vomiting, above all when undigested food is vomited. It should also be tried in sea-sickness and in vomiting of T.B. and cancer patients who are said no longer to be able to keep down any food.

Cerium salts also have the quality of promoting the utilisation of oxygen in the tis- sues. Thus Cerium oxalicum may also be used generally as an intercurrent remedy in the treatment of neoplasms, of pre-cancerous states, and in degeneration phases.
