Ammonia
Your brain is the control center of your body. It controls your thoughts, memory, speech, and movement. It regulates the function of many organs. It's part of your nervous system, which also includes your spinal cord and peripheral nerves. The nervous system sends signals between your brain and the rest of the body. Your nerves take in information from your senses and send it to the brain to be processed. Your brain and nerves also communicate to help you move and to control your body's functions.
When the brain is healthy, it works quickly and automatically. But when you have a brain disease, it may affect how well you can function and do your daily activities. Some common brain diseases include:
- Brain tumors, which can press on nerves and affect brain function.
- Degenerative nerve diseases, which can affect many of your body's activities, such as balance, movement, talking, breathing, and heart function. Types include Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
- Encephalitis (inflammation in the brain), which can lead to problems such as vision loss, weakness, and paralysis.
- Genetic brain disorders, which are caused by changes in genes (also called variants or mutations). These disorders can affect the development and function of the brain.
- Strokes, which can cause a loss of brain cells and can affect your ability to think clearly.
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), which can affect brain function. They may range from mild to severe. The effects of a TBI may be temporary or permanent.
The symptoms of brain diseases vary widely, depending on the specific problem. In some cases, damage is permanent. In other cases, treatments such as surgery, medicines, or therapies such as physical, occupational, and speech therapies, may cure the disease or improve the symptoms.

Physician's Materia Medica on Ammonia
AMMONIA
The medicinal preparation (Water of Ammonia) is a solution in water of the gas, Ammonia. Powerful irritant, rubefacient; much used in stimulating liniments, which should never be confined under an impervious covering unless blistering is desired. Internally a powerful stimulant, the effect passing off, however, quickly. It is antacid, but the carbonate is to be preferred for this use. Dilute solutions give relief for insect stings. Dose, 0.06 to 1.0 c. c. (1 to 15 m), highly diluted.2

AMMONIAC
Gum resin from DOREMA AMMONIACUM, Don. Loc_a1lycount_er irritant, a constituent of “warming” plasters. Internally used as a stimulant expectorant in chronic bronchitis. Dose, 0.12 to 0.30 Grm. (2 to 5 grs.).2

SCAMMONYCOSC10
Resinous exudate from the root of CONVOLVULUS SCAMMONIA, Lin. Hydragogue cathartic, notoriously uncertain in its action, and almost invariably combined with other cathartics. A constituent of Extract Colocynth Compound.2

UROTROPIN (Formin)
Derivative from formaldehyd. Urinary Antiseptic and uric acid solvent; renders the urine acid. Useful in cystitis, especially when urine is ammoniacal, also in gout and in typhoid fever. Dose, 0.2 to 0.5 Grm. (3 to 7 grs.) two or three times a day.2

ASPHYXIA
Perform artificial respiration, persisting in the effort at least half an hour, alternating the Sylvester movements with tongue trac tion as recommended by Laborde. Intravenous injection of ammonia may start heart’s action.2

BITES AND STINGS OF INSECTS
Alkaline lotions give relief; use a weak solution of ammonia. Alkal-amiseptine, diluted with an equal volume of water, sodium bicarbonate (10 grs. to the 11. oz.), sodium borate (10 to 20 grs. to fl oz.); carbolated oil or ointment also has a soothing effect.2

BROMIDROSIS
Sponge daily with solution of borax containing a little ammonia or sodium bicarbonate to cleanse; follow with antiseptine or other local antiseptic. As dusting powder use zinc oleate with boric acid, or talcum powder with boric and benzoic or salicylic acids.2

PSORIASIS
Internally give arsenic persistently, with iodides and other altera tives where these seem to be indicated. Extract of thyroid zland has been used with benefit. Locally, ointments of pyrogallic or salicylic acid, Iodosyl, ichthyol, chrysarobin, resorcin. ammoniated mercury, calomel.2
