Besides the employment of potencies and mother tinctures, one class of homeopathic treatment is via tissue remedies. These are twelve salts as described by Schuessler. Schuessler discovered that there were twelve essential micro-minerals necessary for the optimum growth and development of human body. If deficiency or imbalance occurs in any of their levels illnesses may result. The tissue salts by Schuessler are natural and can be taken along with other medicines, supplements and in all states of health. These salts are quickly absorbed in the mouth rather than the stomach and they are swift solutions for fevers, skin complaints, bone abnormalities and many other conditions.
Calcarea Phosphorica is one of the twelve tissue remedies by Schuessler. It has a very wide range of action and impacts almost all systems favorably. The homeopathic medicine Calcarea Phosphorica 6x is widely popular as a growth stimulator in children. Besides its action on children, Calcarea Phosphorica 6x benefits the aged and the pregnant as well. It is made from the chemical compound calcium phosphate by the homeopathic process of trituration.
Calcium phosphate is one of the most abundantly present minerals in the body. It is a constituent of bones, teeth, blood, connective tissue etc. It helps maintain metabolism by virtue of its ionic components calcium and phosphate and helps regulate body functions. For maintaining a healthy constitution Calcarea Phosphorica is of prime utility. It helps the body recover after injuries, fractures and debilitating illnesses. It also helps blood coagulation and thus prohibits excessive bleeding.
Calcarea Phosphorica 6x uses are especially profound in children. It is common for infants to suffer from teething problems during their first dentition. Indigestion and loose stools, crankiness, fever and pain abdomen are some of the symptoms that manifest during this teething phase. Children who are treated with regular homeopathic medicine Calcarea Phosphorica 6x pass through this phase with minimal symptoms and develop healthy and even teeth. Similarly, many children suffer from open sutures in the head at birth and these sutures show excess delay in closing. For these children this tissue salt proves to be especially beneficial when continued for a specified period of time.
The tooth symptoms of Calcarea Phosphorica are not restricted merely to children. Even in adults tooth problems are common and the action of Calcarea Phosphorica on tooth decay is substantially positive. Maintaining dental hygiene and adopting the intake of tissue remedy can help people suffering from tooth problems to recover faster. The medicine can also be taken after tooth surgery or dental procedures to stimulate quicker recovery.
Many infants suffer from failure to thrive. This is a condition in which the child shows poor growth, delayed milestones, a lower than average bodyweight, digestion and assimilation issues, feeding problems or a combination of all of these. This becomes a serious issue as such children suffer from a higher mortality rate and even if they survive the quality of life remains poor. They suffer from recurrent infections, have low immunity and in general are weak and vulnerable. The condition can be caused by a variety of factors ranging from low socioeconomic status, poor health of the mother, genetic abnormalities or neglect. Infants who suffer from failure to thrive can benefit greatly from Calcarea Phosphorica. Proper treatment with the medicine for recommended period of time helps these children to come out of their slump and they achieve better growth.
Puberty is a developmental stage that poses a great demand for nutrients on the body. Ill-health during this period can have lasting manifestations. Calcarea Phosphorica if prescribed during this stage helps this transition from childhood to adult life easier and healthier. The remedy also comes into play in the old age when the risk of bone diseases rises significantly. Osteoporosis is a common condition in this age. In females the chances of developing bone disease increase after menopause. This is because of low levels of the hormone estrogen. These conditions can be tackled efficiently with Calc Phos as this tissue remedy helps regulate calcium metabolism and therefore, prevents the occurrence of osteoporosis and other bone conditions.
Another important usage of Calcarea Phosphorica is in bone troubles. It is very common not only for children but also for adults to suffer from bone injuries. Fractures and sprains are common occurrences that may happen to anyone. While in the case of fractures immobilization in plaster cast is essential, treatment with tissue remedy Calcarea Phosphorica helps speed up the healing process. Stitching pains in the fractured bone and soreness at point of injury persisting for weeks altogether can be effectively healed by Calcarea Phosphorica. Persons who take Calcarea Phosphorica while convalescing from a bone or tendon injury recover significantly faster than those on simple calcium supplements.
Calc Phos may also be prescribed in combination with other tissue remedies as required in different conditions. Children suffering from delayed milestones may be prescribed Calc Phos and Silicea together. Similarly, young girls suffering from menstrual cramps may require Calc Phos and Mag Phos simultaneously. People who have suffered from chronic illnesses or those with anemic constitutions may require Calc Phos along with Ferrum Phos. The characteristic of tissue remedies is that they do not interfere with the action of each other, or indeed, with the action of other medicinal substances. Therefore, it is perfectly safe to prescribe a combination of tissue salts as per the needs of a person.
Generally, these tissue salts are prescribed in 3x, 6x or 12x potencies, however this may vary. Four tablets are usually taken twice or thrice a day. The medicines are taken in frequent repetitions for a few weeks at the minimum. For the correct Calcarea Phosphorica 6x dosage it is best to consult your homeopathic physician.
Apart from the made India version, Calcarea Phosphorica 6x made in Germany is also available with Schwabe India along with other potencies. The medicines are created and manufactured strictly according to the standards illustrated in homeopathic literature. The medicines are available online and at licensed homeopathic dispensaries. It is best to get the medicine prescribed by a homeopathic consultant so as to be completely benefitted with the correct potency and dosage.
