CALCAREA PHOSPHORICA

Calcarea phosphorica is one of the most essential tissue medicines in homoeopathy, especially valuable in the growing years, developmental delays, and chronic wasting conditions. It is distinct from Calcarea Carbonica, though they share many features such as glandular enlargement, perspiration, and constitutional weakness. This medicine is particularly suited for anæmic, flabby, and irritable children with delayed dentition, bone weakness, and slow healing of fractures. It shows a marked affinity for bone-forming regions, such as sutures and symphysis, and most symptoms are aggravated by changes in weather. Common sensations include numbness, crawling, and coldness in the limbs.
