Calcium carbonate homeopathy. Calcium carbonicum Hahnemani - Calcium carbonicum Hahnemani, Calcium carbonate according to Hahnemann, Edible oyster lime

from George Vithoulkas, The Essence of Materia Medica

Calcarea carbonica is a very broad remedy with many ramifications. Perhaps the best way to describe it is to consider each of the three levels separately.

The fundamental disorder of calcium metabolism that Calc. carb. appears to appear in two different body types. Most of the Calc. carb. are, of course, so well described in the literature blond, fat and flabby people. They easily gain weight and have difficulty losing it even when they consume very few calories. This is so characteristic of Calc. carb., which is almost always the case. Sometimes you can see the appearance of a different type: a thin, skinny man with a thin face covered with fine wrinkles. These fine wrinkles are shaped horizontal and vertical lines, generating small squares. In general, this is the appearance of a person who suffered a lot. This lean version of the Calc. carb. goes through all the typical stages of Calcarea pathology, although his appearance does not resemble the classical stereotype.

Interestingly, in Calc. carb. seems to be needed by a large percentage of infants and children. Although Calc. carb. should never be given babies and children routinely however, it is true that this drug is probably the most commonly prescribed in this age group. To me, this fact indicates that one of the most fundamental disorders in the human body is a disorder that affects calcium metabolism.

So whenever you meet a patient 60-70 years, obviously in need of Calc. carb., you can be sure that this patient has fundamentally strong constitution. As a rule, such elderly patients like Calc. carb. lived active lives and had very few health problems. Finally, perhaps due to overexertion or excessive life stresses, they show some pathology. In such cases, the prognosis is very good. Anyone who can maintain in old age the same image of the remedy as in childhood can be said to have a fundamentally sound constitution.

Children like Calc. carb. present a very typical picture. In general, they are plump, soft and flabby. Face colour

usually waxy and rather pale. They don't have much life energy, so they usually avoid physical work. By nature they are quite restrained, closed and rely only on themselves. They prefer to sit and watch rather than actively participate in the games of other children.

Children like Calc. carb. show a clear trend towards profuse sweating. It can start even after a slight exertion, but the most characteristic time of its appearance is the first ten minutes or so of sleep. sweating especially intensively in the neck, then on head and face and finally at the top of the torso. In children, the lower torso almost never sweats, although adult Calc. carb. sweat there too. In adults cold sticky sweat appears on the palms and feet. Adults may sweat even in the cold; the body gives a somewhat unusual reaction, as a result of which they sweat in the cold.

Children like Calc. carb. usually have a history of frequent colds in winter and a strong tendency for glandular enlargement. At Calc. carb.constipation usually occurs, but they themselves do not notice it and do not suffer from it. Usually the mother notices that the child has not had a stool for 3-4 days and begins to worry. This is characteristic of children of the Calc type. carb., and usually they feel better during constipation. They begin to cry, complain and feel dissatisfied when diarrhea begins.

In adults, the situation is reversed. Attention adults Calc patients. carb. often completely focused on the condition of the intestines. Here the situation is the opposite: diarrhea brings relief and constipation aggravates the condition. Interestingly, such changes often occur at different stages in the development of many homeopathic remedies.

The typical aggravation seen in adults from cold damp weather in Calc. carb. does not appear. Sometimes, due to sweating, one can mistakenly think that they are hot-blooded people. They sweat from the slightest exertion. In addition, sweating at the beginning of sleep can cause them to throw off the covers from the upper half of the body.

Children like Calc. carb. have a clear desire soft-boiled eggs and sugar.

Children like Calc. carb. usually do well in school. They are smart, but the process of understanding them is a little slow. They need a little more time to understand the material presented, and therefore they often experience a sense of urgency during work. However they can work hard and can spend hours doing homework.

If the pathology of Calc. carb. reaches an emotional level in childhood, you can see a lot of whining, crying and discontent. You ask the child what he wants, and he can't tell you. This is a state of complaint and dissatisfaction.

In addition, at about the age of six and twelve, Calc. carb. usually appears strong curiosity about the supernatural, unknown, otherworldly. They seriously ask questions such as “What is God? What is God going to do with us? Who are angels? How do angels behave? Why are people dying? What happens to us after death? - Of course, these questions depend on the type of education of the child, and for many children they are natural. However, in Calc. carb. this curiosity can go to a pathological extreme. Such a child may say that he is really waiting for an angel to come and take him to heaven.

I can't exactly explain this tendency for Calc kids. carb. Apparently, it arises from their observations of the world around them. They see suffering and injustice; Perhaps there is a conflict between the parents. Then somebody mentions God and the concept easily enters into their consciousness. Apparently, God, angels and supernatural influences explain the world to them. They constantly think about these things, ask questions and build different fantasies.

In adults, this tendency is expressed as fear of insanity. At Calc. carb. the fear of insanity is the fear of losing control, the fear of the unknown. These people have learned well to resort to the mind, to rely on it in overcoming difficulties. Therefore, when they finally collapse under too much stress and overexertion, they are most afraid of losing their mind, which is their main means of maintaining control.

At Calc. carb. pathology results from exposure to stress and continued efforts to overcome it. They are capable people who, under normal circumstances, are generally healthy. However, prolonged stress and overstrain eventually lead to collapse, first on the physical, and then on the emotional and mental levels. The biggest enemy of Calc patients. carb. is an overstrain - both physical and mental.

On the physical level, in Calc. carb. pathology affects mainly the musculoskeletal system. The main physical manifestations are rheumatism and arthritis. Adults are definitely aggravated in cold damp weather and ameliorated by warmth. In patients like Calc. carb. The disease primarily affects lumbar region. It starts there and then extends to the neck and extremities, Whenever you see a slightly obese patient who is badly affected by cold damp weather and complains chiefly of arthritis and rheumatism, it is very likely that it is Calc. carb.

In patients like Calc. carb. cold extremities. They are put on socks in bed at night. However, later at night they take off those socks because their feet start to burn.

Simultaneously with the emotional level, the mental level begins to collapse. They often focus on trifles their minds are taken over by unimportant details. They let go silly jokes or talking incessantly about insignificant things that no one cares about.

At this point, the previous anxiety about the future is replaced health anxiety. This is fear of infectious diseases tuberculosis, heart disease, cancer, etc. Nowadays, Calc. carb. particularly prone to fear of cancer and heart disease. Naturally, there is a strong fear of death.

Gradually, this state of obsession with fear turns into hysterical. It seems that they lose the ability to understand and concentrate. They are don't know what they want and start to worry go back and forth experience impulses to break things, jump out of windows, scream and yell. All this happens without provocation or after very little provocation. They are in state of confusion and just want to scream or do something desperate.

At this point, such patients are indeed on the verge of psychosis. However, if they do develop schizophrenia or other psychosis, they will most likely need another drug. In my experience, a truly psychotic Calc. carb. not shown.

When the mental level is destroyed in Calc. carb. there is a characteristic symptom - fear that others will notice their confusion. They are aware of the dullness of their mind, their inability to pay attention, and the resulting confusion. They live in fear that this confusion will be discovered by others. However, Calc. carb. never talk about this symptom voluntarily. To confirm it, you need to ask this question directly. They usually respond with an emphatic “Yes!” and an expression of tremendous relief. They are very grateful that someone understands them.

During the development of psycho-emotional pathology, you are likely to see the disappearance of many physical symptoms. The first, of course, will be sweating. Cold damp weather may not affect these deeply suffering people to the same degree. They may still feel the cold, but not nearly as much as before. The desire for eggs and sweets may also disappear.

At this point, it's easy to confuse Calc. carb. with Phosphorus. If the patient retains the typical craving for cold drinks, ice cream, and salt, the decision may be very difficult, as health anxiety, fear of death, and suggested fears of cancer and heart disease may all point to Phosphorus as well. At Calc. carb. there is a fear of thunder and a fear of the dark. At Calc. carb. there is often a palpitation which resembles Phosphorus.

However, there are a few things that can differentiate Calc. carb. from Phosphorus. Calc. carb. doesn't need company as much asPhosphorus. Calc, carb. usually sleeps on the left side, while Phosphorus prefers to sleep on the right. Calc. carb.prefers hot food while Phosphorus wants cold. Both have a very strong thirst for cold water, but this is much more pronounced in Phosphorus: this thirst may be accentuated in Calc. carb. one or at most two features, while Phosphorus has two or three. Finally, the physical appearance is completely different. Phosphorus is tall, thin and delicate. Calc. carb. usually fat and flabby. Even the thin Calc. carb. covered with wrinkles and not so fragile in appearance.

In contact with

Carbonated lime. In homeopathy, carbonic lime obtained from oyster shells is used. The carbonic lime obtained in this way is not chemically pure, but, nevertheless, cannot be replaced by any other preparations, since it was with this kind of lime preparation that Hahnemann made his experiments. The first three dilutions of this salt, which is insoluble neither in water nor in alcohol, are prepared in the form of rubbing. The pathogenesis of Calcarea carbonica is found in Hahnemann's Treatment of Chronic Diseases.

Type The lymphatic temperament, as defined by Guernsey, is typical of Calcarea carbonica - a fat, plump, rather damp than robust child. the head is disproportionately large, the fontanelles are not overgrown, the child sweats partly, especially the head, so that the pillow becomes wet. The face is pale, the features are rather large, the upper lip is swollen; teeth erupt late, often jagged, feet cold and clammy. The Calcarea child is prone to weeping inflammations of the skin, to rashes, and especially to eczema of the scalp; he has inflammations of the ear, enlargement of the cervical and axillary glands, chronic catarrh of the nose with thickening and expression of its wings. The abdomen is large, it can be compared with an overturned pelvis. The child always starts walking and talking late. Another type of Calcarea carbonica also has swollen glands and also walks late, but its skin is thin, delicate, its eyelashes are long, silky, and its hair is long and smooth. The appointment of calcarea to such a child will prevent tuberculosis. Calcarea corresponds to very emaciated children with flabby, hanging folds of the skin, as well as fat children, and the stomach remains abnormally large; these are “atrepsic”, progressively losing weight due to lack of nutrition and assimilation, children for whom calcarea is a heroic remedy. A young man with weak muscles is the exact opposite of an athlete; he seeks only rest and rest and begins to grow fat early. The young girl is fat, anemic, complains of palpitations, shortness of breath and headaches. The same types are found among adults, especially young women, affectionate, tender, sensitive, lazy, always tired, due to too profuse and too frequent menstruation; they become frustrated that after dinner their face burns and the tip of their nose turns red. The mental state of such a subject is easy to understand: he is full of all kinds of fears, he is especially worried about his health. Mental work is difficult for him, owing to the difficulty of concentrating his attention and the rapidly advancing brain fatigue with the appearance of sweat on the forehead.

Characteristic 1. Feeling of coldness in the feet, knees, in the whole leg, as if a wet stocking was put on it. Coldness in various parts of the head, especially in the right side, so severe that it seems as if a piece of ice was lying on the head. Feeling of inner coldness. 2. Constant chilliness with aversion to open air; slightly cold air seems to penetrate through. 3. Feeling of weakness, exhaustion for no reason, or after the lightest physical exercise and walking in particular. 4. The entire digestive tract of calcarea carbonica is sour: sour taste, sour belching, sour vomiting, sour stools. 5. Milk is not well tolerated, the child vomits curdled milk; it often causes hives. 6. Attacks of heat in the face and congestion of blood to the head, as in a critical age. 7. Chronic dilated pupils. 8. Abundant menstruation. 9. Profuse sweat on head. 10. Aversion to meat, to fried foods, appetite for eggs, sweets and indigestible things: chalk, coal, pencils. The pains are always accompanied by a feeling of local or general coldness; however, they usually explode with damp cold, damp weather, and are always aggravated by washing with cold water. Rheumatic pains in laundresses are often cured by calcarea carbonica. Menses. Premature, too copious, too long. They reappear with the slightest mental arousal. Beli milky color.

Summary Calcarea carbonica is par excellence a constitutional remedy. Malnutrition is its main characteristic. In particular, it corresponds to subjects of the scrofulous type (leuko-phlegmatics of the old authors). Great sensitivity to cold, partial sweats, a feeling of weakness and exhaustion, profuse menstruation are characteristic symptoms that must always be remembered.

indications for use

Main indications

Calcarea carbonica is an important remedy for assimilation disorders. The result of these disorders are three major diseases: scrofula, rickets and tuberculosis, in which calcarea is very effective. With scrofula in the initial period, calcarea is indicated by the following symptoms: enlargement and dull pain in all lymph nodes, weeping impetiginous and granular eczema, chronic, runny nose, leucorrhoea. It is also indicated in the later period in the presence of pain with swelling of the cervical vertebrae. In rickets, calcarea is indicated for children who erupt late and start walking late; their head perspires easily and the urine deposits a whitish sediment. In TUBERCULOSIS, calcarea acts mainly on the upper and middle lobes of the right lung. Painful sensitivity to touch and breath; shortness of breath when walking, and especially when rising. Together with other lime salts, this is one of the means that promote the action of tuberculin preparations. “One Belgian doctor, says Jusset, Dr. Marini, in search of a specific remedy for all cases of tuberculosis, prescribed the following combination for chronic and uncomplicated forms of pulmonary tuberculosis: months. I must confess that I had the opportunity to observe the effect of this method. "For my part, I will add that even better results are obtained if you choose calcarea, which can be carbonic or phosphoric, according to the type of patient. Calcarea carbonica is still a valuable remedy for diffuse bronchitis of small ramifications of the bronchi , with the threat of their transition into a chronic form, in these cases two characteristic symptoms are often observed: profuse sweat on the head and coldness of the legs. IN DIGESTIVE DISORDERS in children, first of all, you need to think about calcarea carbonica and other salts of lime. Although when choosing a remedy, the appearance of the stool has of less importance than the type of patient and accompanying symptoms, but still list the characteristic features usually observed in such cases: stools sour with undigested food, with a very strong smell, worse after breastfeeding, mixed with undigested and curdled milk, usually greenish and watery “The child suffers from chronic enteritis, says Cartier , due to which he has exhaustion; calcarea carbonica will be a remedy in all stages of the disease, if it has at least some of the symptoms characteristic of this remedy. Calcarea is an excellent remedy for ATREPSIA, a disease close to chronic intestinal infection. “How many children of the poorest part of the population, with all the signs of intestinal cachexia, due to poor nutrition and care, were saved in homeopathic dispensaries. I always remember one wrinkled, old-looking child, whom I did not recognize after two weeks of treatment with Calcarea carbonica 30, such a change for the better took place in his whole being. (Cartier). Since calcarea profoundly alters the body's assimilation processes, it is not surprising that it works well for LIVER STONES. Calcarea carbonica may be indicated in nervous disorders. EPILEPSY with vertigo and dimness of consciousness, with falling, and complete unconsciousness, with weakening of memory and mental faculties, points to this remedy. In these cases, as always, one must have indications for calcarea in the concomitant and side symptoms. Yar, among other numerous symptoms, notes that calcarea is especially useful in nocturnal epilepsy with screaming and violent attacks on the full moon. HYPOCHONDRIA. The patient cares and fears for his health, lethargy of thinking and lowering of mental abilities. An unreasonable prostration specifically points to calcarea carbonica in hypochondria. VERTIGO, on standing up suddenly or turning the head, even at rest, on going up stairs or porches. FEAR OF SPACE (Agoraphobia). Goiter has repeatedly responded to Imbert-Gurbeir's treatment with the appointment of calcarea in material doses. EYE DISEASES. Belma and ulcers of the cornea. Chronic dilated pupils. Cataract. Lacrimal fistula. HEADACHE. Miscellaneous pains with nausea, belching and icy cold inside and on the surface of the head, especially on the right side. The headache of calcarea begins in the morning, on waking, and is aggravated by mental work, alcoholic drinks and physical exertion. Chronic trigeminal neuralgia, with pain beginning in the right side of the chin and going to the ear. COUGH, with expectoration, especially in the morning, of thick, purulent sputum; emaciation, general weakness, sweats on least exertion. Suppressed morale. Scrofulous and tubercular.

action on the body

Physiological action Calcarea carbonica does not have poisonous properties; Hahnemann made experiments with small doses, which he used for a long time, which, together with clinical experience, enabled homeopaths to accurately determine the indications for the use of this remedy, which is one of the most valuable polychrests (i.e., comprehensively effective). Calcarea has long been used in therapy in various forms: in the form of chalk, eggshell, cancer eyes, etc. In our time, after the work of Ferrier, the fever of remineralization has seized modern doctors and tons of lime salts in large doses have been absorbed by unfortunate tuberculosis patients. The dangerous results of this method are already beginning to show. After the report of Manoussakis in Tessier's laboratory in Lyon, proving that lime salts administered in this way not only are not absorbed by the body, but also contribute to its decalcification, Lofer, a doctor in charge of a tuberculosis dispensary, published a very important work on this issue, where he came to the conclusion the same conclusions. His work can be found in the Tuberculosis Review, August 1926, p. 600, under the title "Mineral Metabolism in Tuberculosis."

Peculiarities Deterioration. From cold, dampness, and during the full moon. Improvement. In dry weather. When constipated, you feel better. The predominant side is the right. Indeed, Charger notes that in scrofulous children and women with profuse menstruation, nosebleeds are almost always from the right nostril. In pulmonary tuberculosis, the selective action of Calcarea on the apex of the right lung is clearly pronounced. Feeling of icy coldness in the right side of the head.

dosage

Calcarea carbonica is rarely prescribed above 12 and 30 dilutions. Calcarea acetica for diarrhea is usually given in the first dilutions.

Homeopathic remedies cannot replace or be a complete medical treatment. Do not use homeopathic medicines instead of medicines prescribed by a doctor.

Calcarea carbonica is a homeopathic remedy used for children from birth to 1 year of age. The main sign of the need to take the drug was initially considered a lack of calcium in the child's body. Homeopaths offered to determine this deficiency by the appearance of the baby - too soft body, rounded arms and legs, swelling, etc. Additional signs: excessive calmness, open fontanel. In modern medicine, there are more effective methods for detecting calcium deficiency in the body. Calcarea carbonica is prescribed by homeopaths to this day.

Release form and composition

The composition of calcarea carbonica in homeopathy includes:

1. Crushed pieces of oyster shells, only the inner part is taken;
2. Sugar;
3. Water.

The drug is available in drops, tablets and powders in dilution C6, C12, C130 and more. The degree of dilution, dosage and method of administration are prescribed by homeopaths.

Indications for use

In homeopathy, the indications for the use of calcarea carbonica are as follows:

Assign calcarea carbonica only in homeopathy. In other branches of medicine, the drug is not used either in pure or diluted form.

The above list of diseases requires high-quality medical intervention, the use of classical therapy. When diagnosing any disease from the list, you cannot take only homeopathic remedies. Contact your doctor.

When are homeopaths prescribed?

If the patient turned to the homeopathic office, bypassing the classical clinic, calcarea carbonica will be prescribed for:

1. Developmental delay in a child;
2. Children with excess weight, low craving for physical activity;
3. Phlegmatic children and adults;
4. People suffering from sweating;
5. People with eating disorders.

If the patient already has a confirmed medical diagnosis, the homeopath will prescribe the remedy, guided by the list from the previous part of the article.

Dosage and administration

The instructions for calcarea carbonica state that the purpose of the remedy, its dosage and regularity of use are supported only by homeopaths. On average, 2-3 doses of the drug are prescribed daily, the duration of the course is from two weeks to a month.

Contraindications

As you know, in homeopathic remedies, the active ingredients are in a diluted state. The degree of dilution is marked in the composition. At any degree of dilution, there is no chance to meet the molecules of the active substance in tablets, powders or drops. Accordingly, there are no contraindications. Essentially, the homeopathic patient consumes a sweetened substance or liquid. There will be no harm from them.

The only harm that the use of calcarea carbonica can bring is the aggravation of a person's condition due to the lack of adequate treatment.

Where to buy a remedy, analogues

You can buy a package of calcarea carbonica at any pharmacy or online stores. There are no analogues on the market.

Precautionary measures

If the patient is confident
effective effectiveness of homeopathic remedies, it is not recommended to neglect the classical treatment. The use of homeopathic remedies, including Calcarea carbonica, is safe. Despite this fact, many diseases can be treated only under the careful supervision of traditional medicine. Lack of treatment leads to a deterioration in well-being, the flow of diseases into a severe stage, often to death.

Calcarea carbonica

Calcarea carbonica / Calcarea carbonica - oyster shell (internal snow-white part of broken shells).

Basic dosage forms. Homeopathic granules C6, C12, C30 and above. Powder (trituration) C3. Drops C3, C6, C12, C30 and above.

Indications for use. It acts mainly on bones, mucous membranes, the nervous system of the brain, the heart and blood vessels, and the lymphatic system. Diseases of bones and joints. Gout. Inflammation of the airways. Metabolic disorders with a disorder in the assimilation of calcium salts, cholelithiasis, eye diseases (keratitis, conjunctivitis).

characteristic signs. Paleness of the face, sunken eyes with dark contours, saccular swelling under the eyes. Thick lips, plump cheeks. Great sensitivity to cold. Tendency to take colds. Sweating of the head, hands and feet. Pain in bones, muscles and joints. Great nervous irritability.

If we wanted to get a patient of Calcarea carbonica, we would have to feed a healthy person with slaked lime or lime water until the digestive organs are so exhausted that they can no longer digest lime, and then the tissues will become deficient in necessary substances. Thus we are presented with a typical "calcareous" patient, a case of bone demineralization, which most accurately defines the essence of the remedy in question. Children who receive some "lime water" in their milk always become "lime" patients to some extent. Their body is very often unable to extract calcium from natural food, as a result we have a patient Calcarea carbonica, a detailed description of which we will now devote some time.

The true "calcareous" patients are people with congenital pathology, immediately after birth they have an inability to digest and absorb calcium from natural food, such children grow up lethargic, suffer from overweight, they often have bone decalcification. The percentage of cartilage in their bones significantly exceeds the percentage of calcium in them, as a result of which the bones become too flexible, which leads to various diseases and destructive changes. Damage to the teeth or their absence altogether. Bones stop growing, dementia may develop. In this case, it seems quite naive to believe that such children need to be given calcium dissolved in water, because their digestive tract is simply not able to absorb it. Isn't this tactic as unsound as everything else in allopathy? Despite this, homeopaths continue to use allopathic medicines.

These doctors use the lowest dilutions, and it would be strange if essentially the same substances were more effective in the hands of homeopaths than in the hands of allopaths. But it is surprising that a single dose of the drug in a dilution that really corresponds to the case is able to restore the child's ability to digest and assimilate food, release calcium from food, which is so necessary for bones and other tissues. Then the teeth will immediately begin to grow; the growth and development of bones will be restored, the legs will get stronger so that the baby can walk. Under the influence of various drugs, which are indicated for violation of the growth of hair, bones and nails, usually amazing changes occur in the body of young patients. But only a sufficiently potentized remedy is able to resist the pathology. And of course, the drug should not contain raw material, since the child's body is already sufficiently behind in development, and it is precisely because of this substance in its pure form.

In just a month, or at most six weeks, after a single administration of a sufficiently potent remedy, you will see that the child's nails, which were previously uneven, rough, mottled and brittle, gradually and very gently change, their growth is normalized, their edges are leveled. These children usually have ugly plaque, the teeth may be crooked, and sometimes there are black deposits that seem to grow right out of the gums. After the appointment of adequate homeopathic treatment, a clear marginal line is formed on the teeth, to an outsider's eye, the teeth already seem healthy, smooth and even. It seems that the child, as it were, received an additional impulse, energy for the proper growth of teeth. A similar situation is observed in relation to bones. The periosteum needs healing and reconstructive processes. The Calcarea carb. patient is in dire need of calcium, but he does not get enough of it, because the body has once been oversaturated with it; or because, due to disorders of digestion and absorption, the patient's body is not able to absorb calcium from the food received, which, as it were, transits through the patient's body without any effect. A similar situation is noted in many other diseases that we have to deal with, when the patient's body is unable to absorb from food and accumulate the necessary substances. This substance cannot be neglected just on the basis that it is just a material for the formation of teeth. High potencies, of course, will not give the body the necessary amount of material for building organs and tissues; they will simply create conditions for establishing order in the body, so that both digestion and the accumulation of necessary substances will return to normal, all processes of normal life will be restored, and the condition of all organs and tissues will improve. The child will become healthy, beautiful, his hair will grow, the condition of his skin and nails will improve.

It is very important for us to have a good understanding of the constitution of Calcarea carbonica. It does not matter at all whether the patient has been "poisoned" by calcium in the past; this fact is not of particular interest, since it is not a direct indication when choosing a drug. In cases where calcium malabsorption was caused directly by calcium itself, one of the ten drugs that can potentially restore this physiological function may be required. Calcarea carbonica will not always be indicated in such a situation. A drug that fully corresponds to the symptoms of each specific case will certainly be able to change the pathologically organized vital activity of the body to normal, digestion will become more orderly, prosperity will come in the body, and the necessary conditions for normal development will arise. A case of Calcarea carbonica is determined by the symptoms present, not by a history of lime "poisoning". You may have to come across such patients who have never received any lime at all, and yet their condition calls for Calcarea carbonica. Many children have never received an excess amount of calcium, but from birth, their digestive tract was not able to absorb calcium from food and store it in the body.

Congestions are typical of Calcarea carbonica, including congestion of blood to the head; cold feet; hothead; chest congestion. Calcarea carb. is very often indicated chlorotic and anemic, with pale and waxy skin, but fat children notwithstanding. Excessive weight, lethargy, and pallor are also characteristic, but along with this, a state of exhaustion. signs of anemia; pallor and waxiness of the skin; soreness; pale lips, ears, fingers; general pallor and yellowness. Chlorosis, which most often indicates the condition of anemic girls. A great number of different remedies can be prescribed for such symptoms, but it is Calcarea carb. that causes the kind of anemia commonly called chlorosis. Pernicious anemia is also characteristic of this remedy. Pronounced relaxation of the tissues of the whole organism; flabby muscles; the tone of the veins is reduced; all the walls of the blood vessels are so relaxed (this is especially evident in the lower extremities and anus) that hemorrhoidal symptoms or varicose veins in the legs occur. The veins are distended, burning and burning pains are noted in the varicose veins. Bleeding and seepage of fluids. Inflammation and painful swelling of the joints.

Another characteristic of this remedy, which runs through its entire pathogenesis, is the tendency to affect the glandular tissue; glands in the neck, throughout the body, especially the lymph nodes. Lymph nodes in the abdominal cavity become dense, inflamed and sore, increase to large sizes, resembling hazel fruits; tuberculous degeneration is possible. Calcarea carbonica is effective in tubercular affections. Known degenerations, glands and lymph nodes, thickening them. It is effective in hardening of ulcers, at the base and around them, therefore it has a wonderful palliative and suppressive effect in malignant degeneration of ulcers, since malignant ulcers always have a hardened base. Chronic cancerous ulcers stop growing, the normal constitutional state is restored, the patient is able to resist the development of the malignant process himself, and a tendency towards healing appears. Such cancerous lesions are usually fatal within sixteen months, and after the administration of Calcarea carbonica, the life is extended to five years. This is already a considerable result, in cases of malignant growth it is rarely possible to achieve more. The question is more serious in lesions of the glandular tissue, when the surrounding glands or lymph nodes are infiltrated and compacted, when burning and stinging pains are noted, and the growing formations capture and affect the surrounding tissues, so that adhesion occurs. In most of these cases, malignancy occurs. Such formations are fundamentally different from lymph nodes, which are not soldered to the skin, are mobile and do not have fibrous growths, and therefore are not fixed. Cancer lesions are burning and stinging. The pathogenesis of Calcarea carb. is so intimately connected with the process of tissue growth in the glands and lymph nodes, that in the presence of appropriate symptoms this remedy is able to cure many tumors, both fatty and cellular. It restores both glands and bones.

Another characteristic symptom, reflected in the whole pathogenesis of the remedy, is pyemic conditions, which are expressed in abscesses in deep muscles. Abscesses located deep in the thickness of the cervical muscles, deep in the thighs, in the abdominal cavity. You may be surprised to learn that Calcarea carb is a good cure for abscesses (when there is a concordance of symptoms), its action is never weakened. I have observed many times how abscesses disappeared, and it was precisely at that period when the most pronounced fluctuation was determined. I have seen abscesses disappear where there was a large amount of pus; moreover, not only the abscesses themselves regressed, but also the pyemic state accompanying them. We know of only a few drugs that can do this. This is a unique and exceptional feature.

How does Calcarea carbonica provide fluid absorption and promote calcification of the affected areas? I cannot give a sufficiently clear justification for this fact, but the remedy certainly has extraordinary powers—provided, of course, that the symptoms are similar. Sulfur and Silicea, when the main symptoms coincide, can hasten the process of suppuration. The specific action of Calcarea carbonica is to absorb pathological secretions and to heal wounds. In some cases, one drug should be prescribed, in others, a completely different one. There are cases where the abscess is located in such a dangerous area that the administration of Silicea produces an effect which is typical of spontaneous development and spread of an abscess, which in itself may be dangerous; in such cases, surgical methods of treatment should be resorted to to carefully remove the abscess, even if it is obvious that if it was localized in a safer place, it would be much better to confine itself to prescribing the necessary remedy. Sometimes the periosteum is damaged by deep, especially chopped and incised injuries; trauma or contusion of the periosteum.

In cases of marked inflammation and rapid formation of pus, Calcarea carbonica must be given, especially in the corresponding constitutional type of the patient, then the surgical knife may be completely useless, and often even harmful. Hearing this, the old school, the therapist, who knows nothing about homeopathy and the power of homeopathic medicines, is likely to be horrified. "By causing resorption of pus into the circulatory system, you doom the patient to death as a result of massive intoxication." The fact is that under the influence of Calcarea carbonica, resorption obeys special laws, the patient's condition improves every minute, sweating stops, chills go away, the patient feels much better, appetite increases, as a result, the patient becomes stronger than he was before the disease, the condition stabilizes. Based on the positions of routine medicine, we will never be able to fully appreciate the possibilities of homeopathy. We rely only on our own point of view and our own knowledge. If you hear that someone has tried both without much effect, remember that this doctor has only demonstrated his own failure. Homeopathy is always able to show its strength and power, only knowledgeable and thinking professionals are needed; when the doctor is able to think and draw conclusions based on laws well known to him, when he applies medicines in accordance with the symptoms, then the situation will necessarily develop exactly as described above.

Another characteristic symptom of the remedy is its ability to form polyps. In Calcarea carbonica patients, polyps form in the nose, ears, vagina, bladder, and many other places. Characterized by cellular growth and papillomatosis.

Exostoses are also characteristic of the remedy. This symptom is a consequence of calcium metabolism disorder. Normal functioning seems to be deliberately disrupted precisely in those areas where it is especially needed. When bone demineralization occurs, calcium accumulates in some places and disappears in others. In some bones, cartilage degeneration begins, while in others, on the contrary, the growth of bone tissue. Softening of bones and violation of their structure. Hence the key symptom, namely "late starts to walk", which is associated with severe weakness of the legs. It is not difficult for a child to learn to walk, but he starts doing it late for other reasons: he knows how to walk, but is not able to do it. Natrum muriaticum is characterized by disturbances in the development of the brain, when the child lags behind in learning. “Delayed development of bone tissue. Curvature". Muscles are flaccid. Damage to the joints, especially the hips. There are many rheumatic symptoms in the pathogenesis of the remedy. Rheumatic and gouty affections of the joints.

The Calcarea carb. patient is very chilly. Sensitive to cold air, chilly wind, coming thunderstorm; to a cold snap, when the weather changes from warm to cold, it can be very difficult for him to keep warm; tends to keep the body warm. Sometimes there is congestion of the head; head hot to touch; she often seems cold to the patient. The skull also seems cold. The body is almost always cold to the touch, the patient is cold, puts on a huge amount of clothing. Feet are cold. Sweats in different parts of the body, in places. Perspiration in the forehead, on the face, behind the neck, in front of the chest, in the feet. All over the remedy there is sensitivity to cold and weakness. Weakness in the legs. Lack of stamina. Worse from any exertion. Suffocating. Fat, lethargic anemic patients, sometimes they can be called plump, the face is usually ruddy, they are completely unbearable, after every, even minimal physical effort, the patient may begin to have a fever or headache. Many complaints of Calcarea carbonica come from lifting heavy things, from exertion, after walking, from physical exertion which causes perspiration; all the symptoms begin suddenly, because in order to reduce sweating, the patient must be at rest for a while, which immediately entails the disease. If he perspires and stops a little to cool off a little, the perspiration will stop so abruptly that the patient will immediately freeze or have a headache. Weak, tired, anxious. Difficulties in breathing. Weak heart. Weakness all over the body. The muscular frame is not able to withstand any more or less prolonged physical effort, the same applies to mental processes.

The brain can not withstand prolonged stress. The tired patient is typical of Calcarea carbonica. He suffers from a lack of calcium. His body is not able to digest calcium, his glands enlarge, his neck and lower limbs grow thin, while the fat layer and lymphatic glands of the abdomen increase. This is especially pronounced in children. Children with a large belly, with thin limbs and a thin neck. Enlargement of glands and lymph nodes. Pale, flaccid and sickly. Such children gain weight, but their physical strength does not increase. They get fat, become lethargic and flabby. They remain frail for a long time. Immediately after recovery from another illness, they begin to gain weight, become loose and flabby, and after a while they develop swelling. Calcarea carb. patients have difficulty climbing stairs; they feel great weariness in the legs and chest; climbing the stairs, they often and heavily breathe, suffocate. They have every reason for muscle weakness and flabbiness. Eating disorders affect everything. This type of patient was usually called scrofulous; now such a state is called psora; Calcarea carb. is a profound anti-psoric. This medicine is able to penetrate deeply into the processes of life and powerfully affect the constitution of the patient.

Consider now the mental symptoms. In all the mental manifestations of Calcarea carbonica a state of great debility is reflected; incapacity for long-term mental work. Filled with fears, quickly gets tired mentally and physically, does not tolerate work associated with psycho-emotional stress, is prone to bouts of severe sweating, becomes excitable, irritable and restless. Significant emotional disturbance; after excessive excitement, complaints appear that can last for days and even weeks; perhaps a state of prostration after grief, after trouble, or after some great emotional distress. "Can't control himself." For some time after mental excitement, distress or frustration, the patient is unable to think correctly. It is very useful in the treatment of complaints arising from prolonged anxiety, prolonged work, excitement.

The remedy has a great number of psychic features which distinguish it from other remedies in many ways; it seems to the patient that his mental capabilities are exhausted, he believes that his weakness, inability to act and think are interconnected, sometimes he reaches almost insanity, thinks about it, considers himself crazy or gradually losing his mind; his own mind seems weakened to him, thoughts are constantly present in his head that he is going crazy, becoming demented, and those around him, of course, notice all this. It seems to him that everyone is looking at him with suspicion, he is just waiting for someone to say this openly. He is sure that soon complete madness awaits him, that others know and notice this, such thoughts are present in the patient's head almost constantly. He thinks about it during the day, which pretty much shakes him up; these same thoughts do not leave him at night, often preventing him from falling asleep. Until late at night, he lies in bed and thinks.

Calcarea carb. is generally thought deficient, this remedy impoverishes the psyche, the thoughts become insignificant, fixed on trifles, the mind of the patient is occupied with insignificant thoughts which he is unable to put aside. When a Calcarea carbonica patient tries to describe his condition to friends, they usually say to him, “Why can't you stop thinking about it? Get it out of your head, but it's too hard for him, his brain is not capable of it; everything strengthens the patient in the belief that he is going crazy. He cannot count in his mind, think deeply, understand deep and complex things; in the past he may have been a philosopher, but now he has lost the ability to reflect on philosophical matters. He seems to lose the depth of mental processes. He now bases his conclusions on emotion rather than reason. He has his own concepts, and he requires reality to fully comply with them. You may get the impression that the patient even wants to go crazy, so much he talks about it. He loses the ability to argue his statements, with time this state deepens. He can no longer trust his doctor, even if in the past there was complete understanding between them. It seems that it is completely useless for him to prove anything; although his condition is not so bad, but he, as a rule, has his own judgments on any subject, the only thing he does not understand is the state of his own mind. He often fantasizes; it is always surprising how one can think of such a thing, since the patient's imagination often touches on very small, insignificant things. Gradually, the patient actually becomes either crazy, or feeble-minded, or he develops a serious general illness. A passive state is characteristic, when the patient sits quietly and thinks about his “little” worries, “little” things that cost absolutely nothing, he sits to himself and sits. The text says, "Sits and rocks in a chair, or breaks off pinheads all day long." Preoccupied with trifles, this is the only thing he pays attention to, but he gets more and more tired of this. Trying to think of anything else becomes impossible. The patient is not able to make a decision, he does not have two connected thoughts at all. He cannot add and subtract even the simplest numbers.

The patient thinks about his mental problems so often, it seems to him that those around him are watching him so closely that as a result, as soon as he closes his eyelids, visions immediately appear before his eyes. As soon as the patient calms down, lies down in bed and thinks: "Now I will fall asleep and get rid of all these thoughts," - as soon as he closes his eyes, at the same moment he sees terrible little ghosts, he immediately opens them, is frightened, excited; cannot free his brain from these horrors. He cannot sleep, as he is overcome by thoughts and various visions. His brain is not harmonious. A strong mind usually resists this kind of nonsense, but it is precisely on them that the patient of Calcarea carbonica stumbles. Talks to himself. Lying in bed or sitting, alone, the patient continues the dialogue with all possible interlocutors with whom he has only met in life, on any topic; this state intensifies, grows, it already seems to him that all this is real. Judge for yourself how far this state is from a healthy one, but still the patient does not yet require placement in a psychiatric hospital, along with all the oddities, he is still able to carry on a conversation, to perform some ordinary, everyday activities. He only starts acting weird when he's alone, when no one talks to him. Being in the company, he controls himself, he has the right dominant; thus, all deviations and oddities do not come to the surface.

The patient is overwhelmed by the same thoughts and fantasies when he falls completely into delirium or madness. He goes over his fingers, performs many specific little things. When you close your eyes, visions and different faces appear. “Imagines someone walking behind her.” In the trials of Silicea similar symptoms were also very pronounced. The same is found in Calcarea carbonica and in Petroleum. It is unlikely that such symptoms will appear in a healthy state in people with powerful and stable mental processes, but they are not uncommon for nervous people, especially for women. “Mental abnormalities with terrible visions. They see the dogs crowded around, fight with them. A characteristic sensation, which occurs mainly in nervous women: "feels like to rush back and forth and cry." She seems to be unable to hold back her tears. These symptoms are found in people who are too tired from work or very upset by the death of someone in the household. A mother loses a child, or a wife loses her husband; a young girl loses her fiancé. Her heart is broken, she is very excited. This is a hysterical state. I have seen the same thing with men. I remember one case well. The patient fell ill due to problems at work. He had the same feeling; he felt the need to walk up and down the house, to fly or jump out of a window, or something like that. This is analogous to the mental state of hysteria or marked agitation. "She is unable to think of anything but murders, fires, rats, etc." The need we already know to talk about trifles and nonsense is characteristic. She is occupied with what no one else is interested in. When I met such patients, I always asked them why they do this or that. They usually say: “I tried to stop, but when I realized that I still couldn’t, I just gave in to my desires, because it seemed that it would benefit me.” "She thinks and talks about murders, fires, rats, etc." Your patients can talk about other, in your opinion, stupid things, I gave this example only to show more clearly how the patient sits and talks about stupid things, she cannot control herself; thinks about it all the time or, voicing his thoughts, speaks, speaks and speaks. Attacks of violent crying. Sometimes the Calcarea carb. patient refuses to speak at all, sits silently. The patient can talk to herself, being alone, but refuses to participate in a general conversation, is constantly silent.

The Calcarea carb. patient sometimes has an aversion to work and quits it. He leaves a thriving business and sits at home doing nothing, resulting in a terrible fatigue that comes at a time when he has succeeded in his business. He believes that this job is not suitable for him. He is tired of everything and when he again has to do business, it seems to him that this activity will drive him crazy. He no longer wants to see his work, or hear, or remember it. You have probably already noticed that the Calcarea carbonica patient is not so much worried about weakness and fatigue from failure in business, although this is also present, but it is overwork that breaks him down, and right at the height of his success, he suddenly gives up everything and closes himself in his at home, throws everything - it seems that laziness has overcome a person. Looking at him, it might seem that he is really very lazy. But mental disorders are to blame for everything, and not the laziness inherent in some vagabonds, although this can also be present and should be taken into account in treatment. The patient was a business man - and suddenly everything changed. In the psyche, pronounced metamorphoses occur, pathological symptoms appear. These are not those people who were born lazy, never aspired to work, but those who became so. This is reminiscent of a situation where a pious and pious person, whose reasoning has always been distinguished by righteousness, suddenly begins to swear and blaspheme. Of course, it immediately becomes clear that this man is insane. On the other hand, there are patients who, being simply industrious, suddenly show an extraordinary passion for work, it seems that they are ready to work furiously day and night; they get up at dawn and work until late. This is also a painful condition. Therefore, when we find the column “Industriousness” in the repertory, keep in mind that it is not ordinary industriousness that is meant, but pathological, which is already becoming a symptom of the disease. The patient is so industrious that it resembles a mania.

"Whining, ill-humor and melancholy." It is strange to see a little, pretty girl of 8–9 years old, in a current and melancholy, talking about a future life, about angels, that she wants to die faster and get there, she is very sad, she reads the Bible all day long. This is quite rare, and after the application of Calcarea carbonica quickly disappears. Arsenicum and Lachesis can also help in this condition. Such children are precocious, attend Sunday school, and take what they learn there too seriously. Sad and unhappy children, old people, disappointed and tired of life. This state is much like Aurum. When I meet Aurum patients, I always try to explain to them that the highest love on earth is the love of life; and when a person refuses to love his own life, gets tired of it, becomes disillusioned with it, longs for death, this is a direct path to madness. In fact, this in itself is madness, a disorder of the will. An experienced doctor will always be able to distinguish the destruction of attachments from thought disorders. One can remain completely unchanged, while the other can be violated. In Calcarea carbonica we find a violation of both. Madness can affect the consciousness of the patient, so that all manifestations of his love are perverted; he no longer loves the way he used to, not the way he loved before his illness. Antipathy towards one's own family or one of its members. Or it is possible that the patient's affections remain normal, which cannot be said about his thinking, in such cases the strangeness in his behavior is explained precisely by this.

He is full of fears. Tired of life; hopelessness, anxiety. Everything is seen in black light. “Afraid that something sad, terrible will happen. Fear that he may lose the ability to reason logically, that others will notice violations of his psyche. "Fear of death, disease, failure, loneliness." Many fears, especially with the defeat of consciousness. The patient starts at every sound. Cannot sleep, so body and mind usually rest alternately. During sleep, the patient is disturbed by terrible dreams. Sleep is restless. "Severe anxiety and depression. Restlessness and palpitations. Frustration, hopelessness. It is necessary to be able to combine these symptoms and combine them with the leukophlegmatic, pale, flaccid and sickly type of patient. "Crybaby. Easily frightened." Many complaints arise after mental exertion. Complaints after excitement, distress or fright.

The patient has a very weak circulation and heart, from the slightest excitement there is a palpitation. From every physical effort, the patient has shortness of breath; it is so strongly expressed in the whole circulatory system, in the circulatory system of the brain, so strongly reflected in the intellect and in the sensitive sphere, that on almost any occasion the patient becomes dizzy, which is interspersed with other symptoms. Fear, anxiety and dizziness. Dizziness occurs when the patient's emotions are aroused. When climbing stairs, the blood rushes to the head, dizziness begins. Change of consciousness and dizziness from mental effort. Vertigo also begins when the patient is surprised to hear bad news, from distress or mental excitement. Change of consciousness, rush of blood to the head, cold extremities, the patient is covered with sweat, dizziness occurs. "Dizziness when climbing to a height" as a result of the physical effort expended. “When climbing stairs or up a mountain. When standing up abruptly, when turning the head, or even at rest.

One of the most significant symptoms of Calcarea carb. in the head is great perspiration; head sweats from the slightest exertion. The face perspires, while the rest of the body is completely dry, the head is covered with cold sweat, while nothing like this is observed in the rest of the body. The same applies to the feet. When the feet get very cold, they begin to sweat. However, when they get warm, they also sweat. People usually stop perspiring when they enter a cold room, but the Calcarea carb. patient sometimes sweats both on the head and on the feet under such conditions. He sweats on his forehead, so that any draft causes him chills or headaches. The head gets cold, so that he has to wrap the scalp up, although during an attack of congestion the head may be hot. At times, the head starts to burn. The headaches of Calcarea carbonica are stupefying, causing stupefaction; they may be accompanied by a change in consciousness.

The Calcarea carb. patient often has catarrhal affections of the nose, with more or less discharge; he feels best when there is a copious discharge. In the cold, these discharges stop, a headache occurs. Headache over eyes. Congestion in the head; in the back of the head. "Tearing headaches in the region of the eyes, descending down to the nose," this is a very characteristic symptom of Calcarea carb. There is a feeling as if a large wedge is stuck in a sore spot. These pains are better after very hot applications, in the dark; intensify in daylight. When pain occurs, the patient is forced to go into a dark room and lie down in order to relieve the pain a little. Sometimes the headaches are ameliorated by lying in the dark. They increase during the day, but in the evening they increase so much that nausea and vomiting begin. This is one of the types of constitutional headaches that occurs once every one or two weeks. Periodic headaches. Migraines, what used to be called the "American disease". Usually attacks occur at regular intervals, every seven or fourteen days, after adverse environmental influences, in extremely chilly patients, for example, after traveling in windy weather; headaches, migraines occur more often after the patient becomes cold or very cold. Pain in the left side of the head. Unilateral headaches. Headaches worse from noise, talking, better in the evening, from lying in the dark. Characterized by headaches in the temples, with a pulling sensation at the root of the nose, radiating to the nose from the supraorbital region. Temporal headaches, causing a feeling of constriction and marked tension in the forehead. Headaches worse from motion, walking, talking.

Many of the Calcarea carb. headaches are associated with great throbbing as they increase in intensity. The pulsation becomes so strong that the term “pulsation” is no longer enough to describe it to the patient, he compares it with the knocking of hammers. Most headaches are pressing or tearing. "Jerking headaches." Sharp, throbbing pains in the head, sensation as if the head were splitting. Headaches worse from walking and shaking. Sometimes the patient feels cold in the head, it seems to him that the head is numb, cold, as if made of wood. Sometimes the patient more clearly feels numbness in the head area, he compares this sensation with a hat or helmet worn on his head. It can be quite difficult for the patient to describe all these sensations, sometimes the same symptom is hidden behind different descriptions. All the headaches of Calcarea carb. are connected in some degree with congestion.

A characteristic feature of Calcarea carbonica is the inverse relationship between the temperature of the outer and inner parts: the more pronounced the congestion in the inner parts, the colder the outer parts become. If there are lesions in the chest, stomach, intestines, hands and feet of the patient, they become cold as ice and covered with sweat; the patient lies in bed with great fever, while his head is also covered with cold sweat. Remember this unusual feature. This cannot be logically explained from the point of view of the development of pathology. When such inexplicable symptoms are present, they should by no means be ignored in the repertorization, as they are almost always specific and most accurately define the nature of the remedy. This symptom is so pronounced in Calcarea carb. that it is, in fact, a general characteristic of the remedy. There is a burning sensation in the occiput, which is often associated with a coldness in the forehead, or the whole head may feel cold, except for one burning spot in the region of the vertex. Calcarea carb. returns to coldness of head and icy feet when walking in cold air or in very cold weather; but as soon as the legs get warm, there is another extreme - they burn so much that you have to stick them out from under the covers. Inexperienced doctors are always confused by this symptom, they prescribe Sulfur, as this is really the key symptom of Sulfur. Those doctors who always base themselves on the key symptoms, and in any case where the patient puts his feet out from under the covers, prescribe Sulfur, while in fact this situation is not limited to Sulfur at all, since a number of remedies are characterized by a burning sensation in feet.

For Calcarea carbonica, the bones of the skull, the outer parts of the head, are typically affected. Slow ossification. Fontanelles do not close for too long. Characterized by hydrocephalus, effusion into the shell space, the bones do not grow well and do not match the growth rate of the head, so the sutures begin to diverge, the head becomes larger and wider, which is typical for hydrocephalus. In hydrocephalic children, sweating in the head area is often determined. During their night's sleep, sweat drips off their heads and wets the pillow around it; sweating is especially pronounced at night. In patients suffering from softening of the brain, the entire pillow around the head becomes damp with sweat. Children have a hard time teething, for them this is a terrible period with nightmares, the pillow around the head usually gets wet. Plethoric old men with a broken constitution, fat, flabby, lymphatic patients with enlarged lymph nodes, excessive sweating of the head, with cold sweat on it. Hair loss, but not total, like all old people, but in places. An absolutely bald area is determined on the lateral surface of the head or behind; hair falls out in bunches, in two or three places. Eruptions are found on the head and face; eczema in children and newborns. "Thick crusts on the face with yellow pus." Fetid eruptions.

Often there are eye symptoms. Calcarea carbonica can become one of the chief assistants of the ophthalmologist, if only he uses it correctly. The indication for this remedy is not any inflammation, but only diseases in patients with a full and flabby constitution, when any cold affects the eyes and causes inflammation that lasts for several days, and then ulceration begins, in such cases Calcarea should be seriously considered. carbonica. Bubbles form, which burst and turn into ulcers. Eye symptoms come on from getting wet feet, riding in cold air, cold, damp weather. Ulceration of the cornea. All complaints of the eyes and head are accompanied by such marked photophobia that, at the height of these symptoms, the Calcarea carb. patient absolutely cannot stand ordinary light, and exposure to sunlight brings him great pain. In many cases, inflammation begins immediately after bright sunlight, prolonged eye strain. All kinds of stress cause headaches and eye problems. Tension due to weakness of a muscle. Disorders of accommodation. Worse from slightest eye strain; note that this is a manifestation of one of the common characteristics - aggravation from effort. The patient cannot bear any more or less prolonged effort; this manifests itself both in individual symptoms and in the general condition. Everything can be considered as an effort - reading, writing, any use of the organs of vision. In Calcarea carb., stress aggravates both the whole organism and its individual parts. Calcarea carbonica can cure cataracts. Other affections of the eyes are characteristic of the remedy, especially when associated with head symptoms, with fevers, with any disturbances arising from exertion; the patient may suddenly become fussy and restless, there is a change in consciousness that resembles delirium, when he closes his eyes, terrible visions, ghosts, ghosts appear to him. Long before this, pathological changes in the tissues, in the retina or other disorders in the eye area occur, which are detected ophthalmoscopically. During this period, the patient may complain that the entire field of vision is covered with clouds of smoke or steam, as if he were looking through a veil or veil. "Decrease in visual acuity." Weak eyesight. Weak eye muscles. The patient complains of visual impairment, which progresses as general weakness increases and can reach complete blindness.

All eye symptoms, as well as headaches and nervous symptoms, are worse from reading, from fixing the gaze for a long time on the same object. Such efforts are extremely exhausting for the patient, causing bursting pains in the eyes, behind the eyes and in the head. These are specific headaches, those to which the patient is already accustomed. They can occur anywhere on the head and are associated with eye strain. It is an excellent remedy for the effects of eye strain (Onosmodium). Calcarea carbonica has cured many cases of corneal clouding (Baryta iodata). But in advanced cases it is not necessary to promise a cure, since clouding is a consequence of the disease, and we never know when it will go away, we can only eliminate the disease state itself.

A competent homeopath never bases his prescribing on the consequence of the disease, but only on the condition of the patient. In itself, turbidity is not a symptom, but a consequence of the disease. Often, when prescribing is based on the general symptoms of the patient, symptoms such as cloudiness begin to disappear on their own. In this case, the patient generally feels better. General symptoms begin to disappear, and with them the disease or pathology with which the patient turned to you. Do not be afraid when this pathology does not go away immediately; but if all the patient's symptoms improve, if he now eats well, sleeps, and moves well, then there is nothing impossible that the clouding of the cornea will also go away sooner or later. Patients came to me a year or even more after I gave them the medicine, the turbidity remained, but the rest of the symptoms completely disappeared. At the same time, I naively told them: “I think that nothing can be done about this, it will remain with you, but otherwise you are completely healthy and you have nothing more to prescribe medicine for.” And six months later, such a patient came and asked: “Doctor, do you think that your medicine helped me after all? Recently, the turbidity has completely disappeared. I am talking about this here only to show you how long you can wait for the result of treatment until nature itself removes the diseased tissues and replaces them with new ones, restoring the affected organ. It takes time and shouldn't be surprised. And then the medicine will do everything it can do. And there is one more point that I would like to touch on here. Even when no symptoms remain, and after a long time there are no new symptoms, and the turbidity remains, I think of a new dose of the same remedy, which previously brought the patient considerable relief, and the pathological changes often begin to disappear. So Calcarea carb. is a great help to ophthalmologists, and any doctor should be as good at treating eye diseases as an oculist, if he is going to try to treat the patient. When prescribing a remedy, I doubt whether medical specialization is needed at all, because the homeopath prescribes medicines for the patient as a whole. The medicine is directed at the patient, whether it is his eyes, ears, throat, liver or anything else.
