Description of Calcarea carbonica 7,200 dilution. CALCAREA CARBONICA - Lectures on homeopathic MATERIA MEDICA

CALCAREA CARBONICA

If we wanted to get a patient Calcarea carbonica, then it would be necessary to stuff healthy person slaked lime or lime water until the digestive organs are so exhausted that they can no longer digest lime, and then the deficiency of necessary substances will increase in the tissues. Thus, we will see a typical “calcareous” patient, a case associated with bone demineralization, which most accurately defines the essence of the drug in question. Children who receive a certain amount of “lime water” with milk always become “lime” patients to one degree or another. Their body is very often unable to extract calcium from natural food, as a result we have before us the patient Calcarea carbonica, detailed description which we will now devote some time to.

True “calcareous” patients are people with congenital pathology; immediately after birth, they are determined to be unable to digest and absorb calcium from natural food; such children grow up lethargic, suffer from excess weight, and they often experience bone decalcification. Percent cartilage tissue their bones significantly exceed the percentage of calcium found in them, as a result of which the bones become too flexible, which causes the occurrence of various diseases and destructive changes. Damage to teeth or lack thereof. Bones stop growing, and 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 unfounded as everything else in allopathy? And 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 is truly appropriate for the case can restore the child’s ability to digest and assimilate food, and release calcium from food, which is so necessary for bones and other tissues. Then teeth will immediately begin to grow; bone growth and development will be restored, the legs will become so strong that the baby will be able to walk. Under the influence of various medications that are indicated for impaired growth of hair, bones and nails, surprising changes usually occur in the body of young patients. But only a sufficiently potentized drug is able to resist pathology. And of course, the medicine should not contain unprocessed material, since the child’s body is already sufficiently retarded in development, precisely because of this substance in its pure form.

In just a month or at most six weeks after a single dose of a sufficiently potentized medicine, you will see that the child’s nails, which were previously uneven, rough, speckled and brittle, are gradually and very gently modified, their growth is normalized, their edges are leveled. These children usually have ugly plaque on their teeth, their teeth may be crooked, and they sometimes have black deposits that appear to grow right out of their gums. After prescribing adequate homeopathic treatment, a clear marginal line is formed on the teeth; at an outside glance, the teeth already appear healthy, smooth and even. It seems that the child has 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 carbonica patient is in dire need of calcium, but does not get enough of it because the body was once oversaturated with it; or because, due to digestive and absorption disorders, the patient’s body is not able to absorb calcium from the food received, which, as it were, passes through the patient’s body without having any effect. A similar situation is observed in many other diseases that we encounter, when the patient’s body is unable to absorb and accumulate necessary substances from food. This substance cannot be neglected simply because it is merely a material for the formation of teeth. High potencies, of course, will not give the body required quantity 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 is completely irrelevant whether the patient has been “poisoned” with 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, it may be necessary to prescribe one of ten drugs that can potentially restore this physiological function. Calcarea carbonica will not always be indicated in this situation. A drug that fully corresponds to the symptoms of each specific case will definitely be able to change the pathologically organized vital activity of the body to normal, digestion will become more orderly, prosperity will come to the body, and the necessary conditions for normal development will arise. A case of Calcarea carbonica is determined by the symptoms present and not by a history of lime poisoning. You may have to deal with patients who have never received any lime at all, and yet their condition requires the use of Calcarea carbonica. Many children never received excess calcium, but from birth their digestive tract was unable to absorb calcium from food and store it in the body.

Congestions, including rushes of blood to the head, are typical for Calcarea carbonica; cold feet; hothead; chest congestion. Calcarea carbonica is very often indicated in chlorotic and anemic children with pale and waxy skin, but in spite of this, in plump children. Excess weight, lethargy, and pallor are characteristic, but along with this, a state of exhaustion. Signs of anemia; pallor and waxiness skin; soreness; pale lips, ears, fingers; general pallor and yellowness. Chlorosis, which most often refers to the condition of anemic girls. For such symptoms, it may be prescribed great amount various drugs, but it is Calcarea carbonica that causes that type of anemia usually called chlorosis. Pernicious anemia is also characteristic of this medicine. Pronounced relaxation of tissues throughout the body; flabby muscles; venous tone is reduced; all the walls of the blood vessels are so relaxed (especially in the lower extremities and anus) that hemorrhoidal symptoms or varicose veins in the legs occur. The veins are stretched, there is a burning sensation in the varicose veins and burning pain. Bleeding and leakage of fluids. Inflammation and painful swelling of the joints.

Another distinguishing feature of this remedy, which runs through its entire pathogenesis, is its tendency to attack glandular tissue; glands in the neck, throughout the body, especially the lymph nodes. The lymph nodes in the abdominal cavity become dense, become inflamed and painful, and enlarge to large sizes, resembling hazel fruits; tuberculous degeneration is possible. Calcarea carbonica is effective against tuberculous lesions. Calcified degenerations, calcified glands and lymph nodes, their compaction. The medicine is effective in compacting ulcers, at the base and around them, therefore it has a remarkable palliative and suppressive effect in case of malignant degeneration of ulcers, since malignant ulcers always have a compacted base. Old cancerous ulcers stop growing, the normal constitutional state is restored, the patient is able to resist the development of the malignant process, and a tendency to healing appears. Such cancerous lesions usually lead to fatal outcome for sixteen months, and after the administration of Calcarea carbonica, the life span 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 with lesions of glandular tissue, when the surrounding glands or lymph nodes are infiltrated and compacted, when burning and stinging pains are noted, and 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 fused to the skin, are mobile and do not have fibrous growths, and therefore are not fixed. Cancerous lesions are burning and stinging. The pathogenesis of Calcarea carbonica is so closely related to the process of tissue growth in the glands and lymph nodes that, when appropriate symptoms are present, this remedy is capable of curing many tumors, both fatty and cellular. It restores both glands and bone tissue.

Another characteristic symptom reflected in the entire pathogenesis of the drug is pyaemic states, expressed in abscesses in the deep muscles. Abscesses located deep in the thickness of the neck muscles, deep in the thighs, in the abdominal cavity. You may be surprised to know that Calcarea carbonica works well in curing abscesses (when the symptoms are consistent) and its action is never weakened. I have observed many times how abscesses disappeared, and precisely at the period when the most pronounced fluctuation was determined. I saw how abscesses where there was a large amount of pus disappeared; Moreover, not only the abscesses themselves regressed, but also the accompanying pyaemic state. We know of only a few drugs that can do this. This is a unique and exceptional feature.

How does Calcarea carbonica promote fluid absorption and promote calcification of the affected areas? I cannot give a clear enough rationale for this fact, but the medicine certainly has extraordinary powers - provided, of course, that the symptoms are similar. Sulfur and Silicea, when the main symptoms coincide, can accelerate the process of suppuration. The specific action of Calcarea carbonica is to absorb pathological secretions and 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 that is typical of the independent development and spread of the abscess, which in itself may prove dangerous; in such cases, surgical treatment should be resorted to to carefully remove the abscess, even if it is obvious that if it were localized in a safer place, it would be much better to limit the administration of the necessary medicine. Sometimes the periosteum is damaged due to deep, especially chopped and incised injuries; trauma or contusion of the periosteum.

In cases of severe inflammation and rapid formation of pus, it is necessary to prescribe Calcarea carbonica, especially with the corresponding constitutional type of the patient, then the surgical knife can be completely useless, and often even harmful. Hearing this, an old school physician who knows nothing about homeopathy and the power of homeopathic remedies will likely be horrified. “By causing the resorption of pus into the circulatory system, you thereby 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 illness, the condition stabilizes. Based on the position of routine medicine, we will never be able to fully appreciate the capabilities of homeopathy. We rely only on our own point of view and our own knowledge. If you hear that someone has tried both without special effect, remember that this doctor only demonstrated his own incompetence. Homeopathy is always able to show its strength and power; we only need knowledgeable and thoughtful professionals; when the doctor is able to think and draw conclusions based on the laws well known to him, when he applies medicine in accordance with the existing symptoms, then the situation will certainly develop exactly as described above.

Another characteristic symptom of the drug is the 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.

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

The Calcarea carbonica patient is very chilly. Sensitive to cold air, chilly winds, approaching thunderstorms; in the cold season, when the weather changes from warm to cold, it can be very difficult for him to keep warm; strives 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 freezing, and puts on a huge amount of clothing. Feet are cold. Sweats in different parts of the body, in places. Sweating in the forehead, face, back of the neck, front of the chest, and feet. Sensitivity to cold and weakness are evident throughout the remedy. Weakness in the legs. Lack of stamina. Worse from any effort. Choking. Overweight, lethargic anemic patients, sometimes they can be called chubby, their faces are usually ruddy, they are completely intolerable, after every, even minimal physical effort, the patient may develop a fever or headache. Many of the complaints of Calcarea carbonica arise from heavy lifting, from exertion, from walking, from physical exertion which causes sweating; all symptoms begin suddenly, since in order to reduce sweating, the patient must remain at rest for some time, which immediately entails illness. If he sweats and stops for a moment to cool down a little, the sweating will stop so abruptly that the patient will immediately feel cold or have a headache. Weak, tired, anxious. Difficulty breathing. Weak heart. Weakness throughout the body. The muscular frame is not able to withstand any more or less prolonged physical effort, and the same applies to mental processes.

The brain cannot withstand prolonged stress. A tired patient is typical of Calcarea carbonica. He suffers from calcium deficiency. His body is unable to digest calcium, his glands are enlarged, his neck is losing weight and lower limbs, while the fat layer and lymph glands of the abdomen increase. This is especially pronounced in children. Children with large bellies, thin limbs and thin necks. Enlarged glands and lymph nodes. Pale, lethargic 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 carbonica patients have difficulty climbing stairs; they feel severe fatigue in their legs and chest; climbing the steps, they breathe quickly and heavily, suffocating. They have every reason for muscle weakness and flabbiness. Eating disorders affect everything. This type of patient was usually called scrofulous; now this condition is called psora; Calcarea carbonica is a profound antipsoric. This medicine is able to penetrate deeply into vital processes and have a powerful effect on the patient’s constitution.

Let us now consider the mental symptoms. All psychic manifestations of Calcarea carbonica reflect the state severe weakness; inability for long-term mental work. Filled with fears, quickly gets tired mentally and physically, does not tolerate work associated with psycho-emotional stress, is subject to bouts of severe sweating, becomes excitable, irritable and restless. Significant emotional distress; after excessive excitement, complaints appear that can last for days or even weeks; a state of prostration is possible after grief, after troubles, or after some strong emotional disorder. "Can't pull himself together." For some time after mental excitement, grief or disorder, the patient is unable to think correctly. The medicine is very useful in the treatment of complaints arising from prolonged anxiety, prolonged work loads, and agitation.

The drug has a huge number of mental characteristics that in many ways distinguish it from other drugs; 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 madness, reflects on this, considers himself crazy or gradually going crazy; his own mind seems weakened to him, thoughts are constantly present in his head that he is going crazy, becoming weak-minded 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 speak about it openly. He is sure that complete madness will soon await him, that those around him 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 it 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 carbonica tends to be deficient in thoughts; this remedy causes an impoverishment of the psyche, the thoughts become insignificant, dwell on trifles, the patient's mind is absorbed in insignificant thoughts which he is unable to discard. 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 is too much 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 head, 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 be losing the depth of his mental processes. He now bases his conclusions on emotion rather than reason. He has his own concepts, and he demands that reality fully comply with them. It may seem that the patient even wants to go crazy, he talks about it so much. He loses the ability to argue his statements, and over time this condition deepens. He can no longer trust his doctor, even if in the past there was complete understanding between them. It seems completely useless for him to prove anything; although his condition is not so bad, he, as a rule, has his own opinions on any matter, the only thing he does not understand is the state of his own mind. He often fantasizes; It is always surprising how such a thing can be thought of, since the patient’s imagination often concerns very small, insignificant things. Gradually, the patient actually becomes either crazy, or weak-minded, or he develops a serious general illness. A passive state is typical, when the patient sits quietly and thinks about his “little” worries, “little” things that cost absolutely nothing, he sits and sits. The text says: "Sits and rocks in a chair or breaks off pinheads all day long." Busy with little things, this is the only thing he pays attention to, but this makes him more and more tired. Trying to think about anything else becomes impossible. The patient is unable to make a decision; he absolutely cannot have two thoughts connected with each other. He cannot add or subtract even the simplest numbers.

The patient thinks so often about his mental problems, 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, goes to bed and thinks: “Now I’ll go to sleep and get rid of all these thoughts,” - as soon as he closes his eyes, at that very second he sees terrible little ghosts, he immediately opens them, gets scared, gets excited; cannot free his brain from these horrors. He cannot sleep because he is overcome by thoughts and various visions. His brain is not harmonious. A strong mind usually resists this kind of nonsense, but this is what the Calcarea carbonica patient encounters. Talking to himself. Lying in bed or sitting alone, the patient continues a 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 condition is from healthy, but still the patient does not yet require placement in mental asylum, along with all the oddities, he is still able to carry on a conversation and perform some ordinary, everyday tasks. He only starts acting strange when he is alone and no one is talking to him. Being in company, he controls himself, he develops 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 completely falls into delirium or insanity. Fingers fingers, performs many specific little things. When you close your eyes, visions and different faces appear. "Imagines that someone is walking behind her back." In Silicea trials similar symptoms were also very significant. The same is true for Calcarea carbonica and Petroleum. It is unlikely that such symptoms will appear in a healthy state in people with powerful and persistent mental processes, but they are not uncommon for nervous people, especially women. "Mental abnormalities with terrible visions. Seeing dogs crowded around, fighting with them." A typical sensation occurs mainly in nervous women: "feels the urge to rush back and forth and cry." She seems unable to hold back her tears. These symptoms occur in people who are too tired from work or very upset by the death of someone in the family. A mother loses a child, or a wife loses her husband; a young girl loses her fiancé. She is heartbroken and very excited. This is a hysterical state. I observed the same thing in men. I remember one incident well. The patient fell ill due to problems at work. He had the same sensation; he felt the need to walk up and down the house, to fly or jump out of a window, or do something similar. This is similar to the mental state of hysteria or severe agitation. "She is unable to think about anything other than murders, fires, rats, etc." We already know the need to talk about trifles and nonsense. She is interested in something that no one else is interested in. When I met such patients, I always asked them why they did this or that. They usually say: “I tried to stop, but when I realized that I couldn’t anyway, I just gave in to my desires because it seemed like it would benefit me.” "She thinks and talks about murders, fires, rats, etc." Your patients may talk about other, in your opinion, nonsense, I gave this example just for that. to more clearly show how the patient sits and talks about stupid things, she cannot control herself; thinks about it all the time or, voicing his thoughts, talks and talks and talks. Attacks of sudden crying. Sometimes the Calcarea carbonica patient refuses to speak at all and sits silently. The patient can talk to herself when alone, but refuses to participate in general conversation and is constantly silent.

The Calcarea carbonica patient sometimes has an aversion to work and quits it. He leaves a thriving business and sits at home, doing nothing, resulting in terrible fatigue, which appears at a time when he has achieved success in his business. He believes that this job is not suitable for him. He is tired of everything and when he has to do business again, it seems to him that this activity will drive him crazy. He no longer wants to see, hear, or remember his work. You have probably already noticed that the Calcarea carbonica patient is not so much bothered by weakness and fatigue from failures in business, although this is also present, but rather by overwork that breaks him, and right at the peak of his success he suddenly gives up everything and withdraws into his own life. home, gives up everything - it seems that the person is overcome by laziness. 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 tramps, although this can also be present and should be taken into account in treatment. The patient was a business man - and suddenly everything changed. Pronounced metamorphoses occur in the psyche, pathological symptoms appear. These are not those people who were born lazy and never strived for work, but those who became so. This is reminiscent of a situation where a pious and devout person, whose reasoning has always been characterized by righteousness, suddenly begins to curse and blaspheme. Of course, it immediately becomes clear that this person is crazy. 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 frantically day and night; they get up before dawn and work until late. It is also a painful condition. Therefore, when we find the column “Industriousness” in the repertory, keep in mind that what is meant is not ordinary industriousness, but pathological, which already becomes a symptom of the disease. The patient is so industrious that it resembles mania.

"Whining, ill humor and melancholy." It is strange to see a small, pretty girl of 8-9 years old, in melancholy and melancholy, talking about future life, about angels, about how she wants to die quickly and get there, she is very sad, she reads the Bible all day long. This is quite rare and goes away quickly after using Calcarea carbonica. Both Arsenicum and Lachesis can also help in this condition. Such children are precocious, they attend Sunday school and take what they learn there too seriously. Sad and unhappy children, old people, disappointed and tired of life. This condition is much like Aurum. When meeting 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, strives for death, this is a direct path to madness. In fact, this in itself is madness, a disorder of the will. Experienced doctor will always be able to distinguish the destruction of attachments from a thinking disorder. One may remain completely unchanged, while the other may be disrupted. In Calcarea carbonica we find a disturbance of both. Madness may affect the patient's consciousness so that all expressions of his love are distorted; he no longer loves as he was used to, not as he loved before his illness. Antipathy towards one's own family or one of its members. Or, it is possible that the patient’s attachments 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 his mental disorders." "Fear of death, illness, failure, loneliness." Many fears, especially when consciousness is damaged. The patient flinches at every sound. Can't sleep, so usually rests body and mind alternately. During sleep, the patient experiences terrible dreams. Restless sleep. "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, lethargic and sickly type of the patient. "A capricious child. Gets scared easily." Many complaints arise after mental stress. Complaints after excitement, distress or fright.

The patient has very weak blood circulation and heart; the slightest excitement causes palpitations. Every physical effort causes the patient to experience shortness of breath; this is so strongly expressed throughout the entire circulatory system, in the circulatory system of the brain, and has such a noticeable effect on the intellect and on the sensitive sphere, that for almost any reason the patient experiences dizziness, which is interspersed with other symptoms. Fear, anxiety and dizziness. Dizziness occurs when the patient's emotions are excited. When climbing stairs, blood rushes to the head and dizziness begins. Changes in consciousness and dizziness from mental effort. Dizziness also begins in cases where the patient is surprised when he hears bad news, from grief or mental excitement. A change in consciousness, a rush of blood to the head, cold extremities, the patient becomes covered in sweat, and dizziness occurs. “Dizziness when climbing to heights” as a consequence of the physical effort expended. "When climbing stairs or up a mountain. When standing up suddenly, when turning your head, or even at rest."

One of the most significant symptoms of Calcarea carbonica on the head is profuse sweating; The head sweats from the slightest effort. The face sweats, while the rest of the body is completely dry, the head is covered in cold sweat, while nothing similar is observed in the rest of the body. The same goes for the feet. When your feet get very cold, they start to sweat. However, when they warm up, they also sweat. Usually when people go into a cold room they stop sweating, but the Calcarea carbonica patient sometimes has sweat on his head and feet under such conditions. He sweats on the forehead, so that any draft makes him chilly or headache. The head freezes, so he has to wrap the scalp, although during an attack of congestion the head may be hot. At times my head starts to burn. The headaches of Calcarea carbonica are stupefying and stupefying; they may be accompanied by a change in consciousness.

The Calcarea carbonica patient often has catarrhal lesions of the nose with more or less discharge; He feels best when there is copious discharge. In the cold, these secretions stop and a headache occurs. Headache above the eyes. Congestion in the head; V posterior regions heads. "Rending headaches in the region of the eyes, going down to the nose," is a very characteristic symptom of Calcarea carbonica. There is a feeling as if a large wedge is stuck into the sore spot. These pains are relieved by very hot compresses, in the dark; intensifies in daylight. When pain occurs, the patient is forced to go into a dark room and lie down in order to relieve the pain at least a little. Sometimes headaches are relieved by lying in the dark. They increase during the day, but in the evening they intensify so much that nausea and vomiting begin. This is a type of constitutional headache 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 effects external environment, in extremely chilly patients, for example after traveling in windy weather; Headaches and 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 nasal area from the supraorbital region. Temporal headaches, causing a feeling of compression and severe tension in the forehead. Headaches, aggravated by movement, walking, talking.

Many Calcarea carbonica headaches are accompanied by intense throbbing as their intensity increases. The pulsation becomes so strong that when describing it to the patient, the term “pulsation” is no longer enough; he compares it with the knocking of hammers. Most headaches are pressing or tearing. "Jerking headaches." Sharp, throbbing pain in the head, feeling as if the head is splitting. Headaches worsen from walking and shaking. Sometimes the patient feels cold in the head area, 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 to a hat or helmet placed on his head. It can be quite difficult for the patient to describe all these sensations, sometimes various descriptions the same symptom is hidden. All Calcarea carbonica headaches are related to congestion to some degree.

A characteristic feature of Calcarea carbonica is the inverse relationship between the temperature of the external and internal parts: the more pronounced the congestion in the internal parts, the colder the external areas become. If there are lesions in the chest, stomach, intestines, hands and feet, the patient becomes ice cold and covered in sweat; the patient lies in bed with a high fever, while his head is also covered with a cold sweat. Remember this unusual feature. This cannot be logically explained from the point of view of the development of pathology. When there are such inexplicable symptoms, they should in no case be ignored during repertorization, since they are almost always specific and most accurately determine the essence of the remedy. This symptom is so pronounced in Calcarea carbonica that it is, in fact, a general characteristic of the remedy. A burning sensation in the back of the head is characteristic, which is often combined with coldness in the forehead, or the entire head may seem cold, with the exception of one burning area in the crown. In Calcarea carbonica the head becomes cold again and icy feet when walking in cold air or very cold weather; but as soon as the legs warm up, the other extreme arises - they burn so much that you have to stick them out from under the blanket. Inexperienced doctors are always confused by this symptom; they prescribe Sulfur, since this is really the key symptom of Sulfur. Those doctors who always rely on the key symptoms and in any case where the patient puts his feet out from under the blanket, prescribe Sulfur, while in fact this situation is not at all limited to Sulfur, since a number of medicines are characterized by a burning sensation in the feet

Calcarea carbonica typically affects the bones of the skull and the outer parts of the head. Slow ossification. The fontanelles do not close for too long. Characterized by hydrocephalus, effusion into the meningeal space, the bones grow poorly and do not correspond to the growth rate of the head, so the sutures begin to separate, the head becomes larger and wider, which is typical for hydrocephalus. In hydrocephalic children, sweating in the head area is often detected. During their night's sleep, sweat flows from the head 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 it is a terrible period with nightmares, the pillow around the head usually gets wet. Plethoric old people with a broken constitution, fat, flabby, lymphatic patients with enlarged lymph nodes, increased 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 identified on the side of the head or at the back; hair falls out in clumps, in two or three places. Rashes appear on the head and face; eczema in children and newborns. "Thick crusts on the face with yellow pus." Fetid eruptions.

Often arise and eye symptoms. Calcarea carbonica can become one of the main assistants of the ophthalmologist, if only he uses it correctly. The indication for this medicine is not any inflammation, but only diseases in patients with a full and flabby constitution, when any cold affects the eyes and causes inflammation, which continues for several days and then ulceration begins, in such cases Calcarea should be seriously considered carbonica. Blisters form, burst and turn into ulcers. Eye symptoms arise from getting wet feet, riding in cold air, or cold, damp weather. Corneal ulcerations. All complaints from the eyes and head are accompanied by such pronounced photophobia that at the height of the manifestation of these symptoms the Calcarea carbonica patient absolutely cannot bear ordinary light, and exposure to sunlight is associated with severe pain. In many cases, inflammation begins immediately after bright sunlight, prolonged eye strain. All types of stress cause headaches and eye problems. Tension due to weakness of a muscle. Accommodation disorders. Worse from slightest strain of the eyes; note that this is a manifestation of one of the general characteristics - aggravation from effort. The patient cannot tolerate any more or less prolonged effort; this is also evident in individual symptoms, and in general condition. Everything can be considered as effort - reading, writing, any use of the organs of vision. In Calcarea carbonica, tension worsens the condition of the whole organism and its individual parts. Calcarea carbonica can cure cataracts. The drug is also characterized by other eye lesions, especially when combined with headache symptoms, fevers, and any disorders arising from tension; the patient may suddenly become fussy and restless, a change in consciousness occurs that resembles delirium, and when he closes his eyes, he sees terrible visions, ghosts, and ghosts. Long before this occurs pathological changes in tissues, in the retina or other disorders in the eye area that are detected ophthalmoscopically. During this period, the patient may complain that the entire field of vision seems to be obscured by clouds of smoke or steam; he looks as if through a veil or veil. "Decreased visual acuity." Poor vision. Weak eye muscles. The patient complains of deterioration of vision, 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 prolonged fixation of the gaze on the same object. Such efforts extremely exhaust the patient and cause bursting pain 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 in any part of 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 opacities (Baryta iodata). But in advanced cases there is no need 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 painful condition itself.

A competent homeopath never bases his prescription on the outcome of the disease, but only on the condition of the patient. Cloudiness itself is not a symptom, but a consequence of the disease. Often, when the prescription is based on the patient's general symptoms, symptoms such as clouding will begin to resolve on their own. In this case, the patient generally feels better. Start to fade general symptoms, and with them the disease or pathology with which the patient came to you. Do not be alarmed when this pathology does not go away immediately; but if all the patient’s symptoms improve, if he now eats, sleeps, and moves well, then it is not 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 cloudiness remained, but the other 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 there is nothing to prescribe for you.” more medicine". And six months later, such a patient came and asked: “Doctor, do you think it was your medicine that helped me? Recently the turbidity has completely disappeared." I am talking about this here only to show you how long you can expect the result of treatment until nature itself removes the diseased tissue and replaces it with new ones, restoring the affected organ. This takes time, and not one must be surprised at this. And then the medicine will do everything it can do. And one more point that I would like to touch upon here. Even when not a single symptom remains and after a long time no new symptoms have appeared, but the cloudiness remains, I think about a new dose of the same remedy which has previously brought considerable relief to the patient, and the pathological changes often begin to disappear. So Calcarea carbonica is a great assistant to the ophthalmologist, and any doctor should treat eye diseases as well as an ophthalmologist if he is going to try to treat the patient "When prescribing medicine, I doubt whether medical specialization is necessary at all, because a homeopath prescribes medicine for the patient as a whole. The medicine is aimed at the patient, regardless of what hurts him: eyes, ears, throat, liver or anything else.

The medicine is also related to a variety of ear related problems. Thick yellow discharge from the ears. The ears begin to hurt in cold, dank weather, as soon as the patient gets a little chilled, stands in the cold, or the weather suddenly changes to damp and cold. When he is relatively well, then, as with other catarrhal conditions, there is copious discharge. But when, under the influence of unfavorable external conditions and cold, these secretions are suppressed, then the slight inflammation, and this is often enough to cause both headaches and throbbing. This happens every time after an external adverse influence. Wherever the catarrh occurs - in the nose, ears, eyes - it is always accompanied by a headache. The Calcarea carbonica patient is so quickly damaged by bad and cold weather, and is so sensitive to cold that even warm clothing cannot protect him. He has a weak body, easily susceptible to environmental influences. If his ears hurt, this is accompanied by deterioration of hearing, purulent inflammation middle ear, catarrh of the Eustachian tubes, etc., all this causes headaches and involvement of regional lymph nodes in the process.

A runny nose causes many problems to the patient. Old, persistent runny nose with thick yellow discharge and large crusts in the nose. In the morning, abnormal black, bloody pieces come out of the nose. The patient breathes through his nose for part of the night, then his nose becomes blocked and he is forced to breathe through his mouth. The medicine cures many cases of nasal polyps. When the homeopath trusts the symptoms he sees and, after studying the case, feels what medicine to use, he can prescribe only on the basis of the symptoms. He says: "The patient needs Calcarea carbonica, I am sure of it." The patient receives the medicine and leaves. It appears three to four weeks later, showing a thick lump of gelatinous consistency lying in a handkerchief: “Doctor, this is what came out of my nose. Could this be related to your medicine?” You might not even know that the patient had polyps; this does not matter to you; you should not base your prescription on this. You don’t do anything that would remove polyps mechanically, let all these cauterizations and loops remain for those who do not know homeopathy, that’s why you don’t need a detailed examination of the nasal cavity, it is important for those who treat polyps, not the patient. Damage to the nasal bones. Inflammatory process in the nose lasts so long, penetrates so deeply that both the bones and cartilage of the nasal passages are infiltrated and destroyed. The surgeon can remove the bone, remove the cartilage and do these operations ad infinitum, and each operation will repeat the previous one, but if the patient wants to be cured, he must come to a homeopath. First you need to cure the person, and only then remove what needs to be removed.

Painful face covered with cold sweat. Sweating with the slightest effort, sometimes sweating occurs at night, on the forehead. “Cold sweat on the face. The face is pale, cachectic,” this happens in advanced cases of cancer or consumption. The face is sickly, sallow, pale, puffy. Rashes on the face, around the lips, cracks on the lips and raw mucous membranes in the mouth. Lips crack and bleed. Painful swelling of the parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands. The pathology of Calcarea carbonica is almost always accompanied by damage to glandular tissue - lymph nodes and glands.

Calcarea carbonica is a remedy for chronic inflammation of the throat. A sore throat in itself is not enough to warrant a prescription, but here we have just such a patient who catches colds so often that the intervals between colds are reduced and the throat hurts constantly. It may, and most often does, begin as a case of Belladonna sore throat, but before one cold is over, another begins. Remember, this is the property of the Calcarea carbonica patient - he catches a cold easily, from any draft, from the slightest hypothermia or slush. As soon as one cold like Belladonna goes away, he already feels that he is getting sick again. He may get better two or three times after taking Belladonna, but then the process will become chronic with the appearance of small red spots, even small ulcers in the throat, which gradually spread over the entire surface of the throat. They appear on the palate, accompanied by a dry tongue and a constant feeling of dryness and suffocation in the throat, spread to the tonsils and reach the choanae, becoming covered with thick yellow mucus. Chronic inflammation throat. The tongue may swell. "Swollen, red parts," but this swelling occurs in patches. The throat is very painful when swallowing.

The stomach of Calcarea carbonica is slow. “The food eaten is retained in the stomach,” which is unable to digest it. It fills with acid. "Sour vomiting" Milk turns sour in the stomach. Milk intolerance, digestion is slow and weak. The patient has a feeling of fullness and fullness; enlargement of the stomach after eating; everything that gets into it turns sour, no matter what a person eats. upsets stomach function. Thus, the stomach becomes completely weak. The Calcarea carbonica patient has a strong craving for eggs. Small children love to eat eggs, they eat them every time they sit down at the table, and they digest eggs better than anything else. It is quite rare for them to actually want to eat eggs, these are children with cold feet, thin limbs, large heads and enlarged bellies, with a stomach swollen in the shape of an inverted gravy boat; overweight, with a swollen belly, weak limbs; chilly and sensitive to cold; with pale, waxy skin. Subsequently, they completely lose their appetite, their craving for any type of food completely disappears, but the desire for eggs remains. Aversion to meat, to hot food. This is combined with enlargement of lymph nodes and glands, with goiter. Flatulence. Sour vomiting, sour diarrhea; sick people, especially children, emit a sharp, sour smell. In babies who are breastfed, milk comes out in undigested form; the stool is so sour that the smell can be heard from a distance. The stool is corrosive, diaper rash on the buttocks of infants in places of contact with the diaper. At times the stomach becomes saggy; when the gases go away, he relaxes, but most of the time he is in a bloated state due to flatulence. At those moments when the abdomen is relaxed, you can palpate the lymph nodes in it. They are hard and can be palpated when the abdominal wall is relaxed. Such patients have a tendency to tuberculosis, and one of the outcomes of the “calcareous constitution” will be tabes abdominal, tuberculous lesions of the mesenteric lymph nodes with the formation of tuberculous deposits.

Diarrhea: watery, sour; with gradual wasting, especially in the limbs. Each hypothermia is accompanied by increased gastrointestinal disorders and sour vomiting. Diarrhea that cannot stop, because every time the patient freezes, the diarrhea returns. If this is an acute attack, then Dulcamara often helps to relieve it, but if the diarrhea recurs repeatedly, then Dulcamara ceases to act; in this case one of the possible remedies would be Calcarea carbonica. On the other hand, it is one of the most effective remedies for old, persistent cases of constipation. When the diarrhea is not very severe. white chair; it is also white, chalk-like, and is also used for constipation. When the stool is light or white infant, we can conclude that he is like this because of the milk, but the Calcarea carbonica patient may not eat milk at all, but eat quite ordinary food, but nevertheless his stool is completely devoid of bile pigments and is barely colored, it is yellow or white; With constipation, the stool is also almost colorless and hard.

The Calcarea carbonica patient suffers from sexual weakness, with general relaxation and lethargy. Sometimes he feels an extraordinary desire, an all-consuming passion that keeps him awake at night. But he is weak, so weak that as soon as he allows himself to give in to his desire, he is overtaken by weakness in the back, sweating, general lethargy, so that all these ailments force him to refrain from such attempts.

Women suffer from the same problems. I have spoken so much about the constitutional weakness of Calcarea carbonica patients that you will not be surprised that Calcarea carbonica women often suffer from infertility. They are so lethargic and relaxed that they are completely unprepared for reproduction. Just like men, they suffer from apathy, sweating, drowsiness and general weakness after each sexual intercourse. All members are relaxed. Uterine prolapse. It seems that all the organs are about to fall off. A state of general relaxation and weakness of both female and male genital organs. Calcarea carbonica tends to grow warts and polyps, pedunculated polyps that bleed easily, are soft and spongy.

During menstruation, women have very heavy discharge, last too long, and the interval between discharge naturally shortens. Menstruation every three weeks, lasting a week, with profuse discharge, i.e. they last too long, come too often and are too abundant. In this case, Calcarea carbonica is not necessarily indicated; a complete picture of the remedy, consisting of all the patient’s symptoms, is necessary. Sometimes it may seem that five or six key symptoms will be enough to prescribe a remedy, but imagine that this patient with the key symptoms of Calcarea carbonica turns out to be Pulsatilla - will your prescription then work? Imagine that the patient cannot stand the heat and large quantity clothes, he always wants fresh air, while he also has the same few key symptoms of Calcarea carbonica - if you prescribe this medicine, you will not get anything. Until your general symptoms combine with the particular ones into a single whole, until the medicine fully matches the patient in all its general and particular manifestations, do not expect a good result. This is why I say that one should not prescribe for one key symptom, but look at the patient as a whole.

The general state of extreme relaxation that we always see in Calcarea carbonica patients also manifests itself in the form of leucorrhoea. Copious, thick, constant discharge day and night. The discharge is acrid, causing itching, tingling and burning. "Leucorrhea thick and yellow," from one menstruation to another, sometimes interspersed with menstrual flow. "Polyps in the vagina. Burning and soreness of the genitals" due to leucorrhoea. "Itching and rawness" due to leucorrhoea. Uterine bleeding after lifting weights, from excitement, shock, any event that seriously unbalances, from fear, any strong emotion, muscle strain, i.e. from any event ending in weakness and apathy. Inability to tense muscles or make any effort, physical or mental.

Complaints during pregnancy also boil down mainly to relaxation of all organs and general weakness. Risk of miscarriage. Weakness and prostration after childbirth with sweating. Weakness after breastfeeding.

Calcarea carbonica is characterized by painless hoarseness. The vocal cords are “tired” and unable to withstand contraction; almost paralytic weakness. Periodic copious secretion of mucus from the larynx. Severe irritation in her, but weakness still prevails. We do not find the burning and rawness characteristic of Belladonna and Phosphorus, since painless hoarseness predominates here. In Belladonna and Phosphorus the hoarseness is accompanied by a sore throat, and such patients cannot speak without pain. But in the case of Calcarea carbonica, usually no one who suffers realizes how badly the throat is affected, since it does not cause any sensation. Thus, the disease progresses from bad to worse, and, given the existing tuberculous tendencies, the process ends in tuberculous laryngitis. Prescribed in the early stages, the remedy eliminates these tuberculous tendencies and cures laryngitis. Strong bubbling of mucus, hoarse breathing, wheezing as a result of the movement of copious amounts of mucus in the trachea, larynx, bronchi, and chest. Severe shortness of breath. Difficulty in breathing occurs when climbing stairs or walking into the wind. Anything that causes the slightest physical stress leads to shortness of breath. We encounter this with asthma, heart weakness, and the threat of developing tuberculosis. The condition of the lungs can often be understood by the pattern of breathing; when there is a threat of developing tuberculosis, breathing will be tired and weak. The person is so weakened that he cannot make the slightest breathing effort, gets tired easily, and it is difficult for him even to climb a few steps, climb to a hill, or walk against the wind.

Lung problems represent one of the most important areas of action of Calcarea carbonica. We have hemoptysis here, prolonged cough, abundant thick compartment yellow mucus, sometimes almost pus, ulceration or abscess. Tickling cough. We are watching at the beginning pulmonary disease beginning exhaustion, pallor, sensitivity to cold, weather changes, cold air, dampness and wind. The patient constantly catches colds, and these colds settle in the chest; the limbs gradually become thinner, constant feeling fatigue.

The remedy corresponds to that constitutional state of weakness which precedes the development of pulmonary tuberculosis or is present in its early stages. It prevents the patient from manifesting the tendency to hypothermia, which underlies the process. After taking Calcarea carbonica, the patient begins to feel better, his general condition improves, and the tuberculous deposits are encapsulated. The process progresses from caseous to petrified form, so that calcifications are found in the lungs many years later. The patient will live a long and healthy life, perfectly adapted to these residual tuberculous inclusions. Naturally, if a subject is in an advanced stage of development of tuberculosis, it is likely that little can be done to help him. Do not believe or listen to those who claim that it can cure tuberculosis. Here and there, claims appear about new methods of treating consumption. But anyone who knows enough to judge the real nature of this disease is not particularly competent in these matters, and I lose respect for those who claim to cure consumption. This is either crazy, or worse, the one who makes money from this. It is unlikely that anyone who understands this at least a little will shout to the whole world about curing pulmonary tuberculosis. But it is necessary to prevent the development of the disease, and Calcarea carbonica plays a huge role in this. The expectoration is often sweetish in taste, as in Stannum and Phosphorus. Sputum is white or yellow; thick. We could describe here for a long time all the general symptoms, rawness, soreness, apathy, types of pain and many small symptoms of the same kind, too numerous and not particularly adding anything, even if we go into detail about their varieties and shades. What needs to be studied is the constitution of Calcarea carbonica, the nature and character of this medicine.

Further symptoms from the spine, there are quite a lot of them. Weakness, all its stages. The Calcarea carbonica patient has such a weak back that he literally “drops” out of his chair when he sits down and cannot sit up straight. He throws his head back when he sits down, so that the back of his head rests on the back of the chair. Weak, sensitive spine, swollen cervical lymph nodes. Again here we note a condition caused by a lack of calcium, in this case in the spine, which becomes deformed and curved. You will be surprised to hear this, but Calcarea carbonica works well in this situation and sometimes brings recovery without any orthopedic devices at all, if the medicine is prescribed at an early stage. You see children with beginning weakness of the spine, let them lie on their backs in bed and give them the indicated medicine - sometimes it will be Calcarea carbonica - and after a while the process stops and the baby sits up perfectly straight. These are the amazing things Calcarea carbonica does when all the symptoms coincide!

There is a rheumatic condition in the limbs which can be described. Gouty lesions of the joints, their enlargement, gouty conditions, especially small joints of the hand and foot, Rheumatic complaints from the joints from any influence, any change in weather to cold, especially from exposure to cold and dampness. The feet are constantly cold or cold and wet, except at night, when in bed more blankets are piled on the feet than on any other part of the body, then they become hot and go to the other extreme - a burning heat arises in them, thus the feet burn at night in bed. But this happens because the feet are very cold and the patient wraps them up more than his body can bear. So, cold, wet feet. The patient walks for a long time. Clumsiness, awkwardness, rigidity. Rheumatic condition. Stiffness is especially characteristic of Calcarea carbonica. Stiffness at the beginning of movement, at night when standing up, in all joints at the beginning of movement; if it becomes cold or the patient is exposed to cold rain, then the Calcarea carbonica patient will always suffer from cold, stiffness, rheumatism; rheumatic complaints occur after every cold spell.

The dream is very upset. He falls asleep late, sometimes cannot fall asleep until 2, 3, 4 am. Thoughts are spinning in my head; frightening visions when closing eyes. Grits his teeth. Children chew, swallow, and grind their teeth in their sleep. Insomnia for most of the night. Cold feet at night in bed.

Calcium carbonicum, carbonated lime from oyster shells.

Pathogenesis. Lime (calcium carbonate) is a normal constituent of the human body and food. If there is more of it in food than is needed for health, then the excess will be partially excreted from the body, and the remainder, due to its affinity for certain tissues, will be located in the appropriate areas and cause disease. Lack of calcium salts causes the same disease.

Tests and observations have shown that taking large doses of lime leads to profound disturbances in calcium metabolism: insufficient growth, incomplete ossification of the skull with cephalic dropsy and dementia, enlargement of the mesenteric glands, and goiter formation. Metabolic disorders under the influence of calcium lead to three main types of disease: rickets, scrofula (exudative diathesis), tuberculosis.

Three calcium salts: phosphorus, carbon and fluoride ( Calcarea phosphorica, Calcarea carbonica and Calcarea fluorica) act on metabolism, blood, endocrine glands and bone tissue.

Since, according to the canons of homeopathy, a homeopathic remedy must present a constitutional portrait of the patient, one must look not only for the similarity of symptoms, but also for the similarity of the medicinal type with the constitution of the patient.

Type Calcarea phosphoricum (Calcium phosphoricum).

Morphology: the predominance of proportion over mass and vertical dimensions over horizontal. These are tall people with a narrow chest, a weak spine prone to curvature; It is difficult for them to stand up straight, their arms are long, their fingers are spindle-shaped, and their skeletal muscles are long and thin.

Physiology(temperament): general metabolism is enhanced, the processes of assimilation and dissimilation proceed very quickly; accelerated breathing; increased blood circulation, tachycardia, good food nerve centers, increased combustion of food, hyperthermia, predominance of sympathicotonia, weakened function of the adrenal cortex, increased function of the anterior pituitary gland; thyroid, parathyroid and genital diseases. As life progresses, a syndrome of demineralization and dehydration appears (due to chloride and phosphorus-calcium balance) and decalcification, which causes an asthenic state, emaciation, loss of strength, dry mucous membranes, thirst, constipation, weakening of protective reactions, disruption of the protective barrier functions of the liver, gastrointestinal disorders, tuberculosis, tooth decay, increased sensitivity and excitability.

Psyche: isolation, coldness, desire for solitude, for nature, stubbornness, constancy, deepening into one’s own “I”, tendency to affect.

Type Kalkare and carbonics (Calcium carbonicum).

Morphology: the predominance of mass over size and horizontal dimensions over vertical; the body is round, spherical, the head is disproportionately large; big belly; the child begins to walk with difficulty, the fontanelles do not close for a long time, the skeletal muscles are short and thick, weak, the right atrium predominates over the left and the venous system over the arterial system; characterized by excessive development of the fat layer.

Physiology(temperament): slow metabolism and blood circulation, slow growth, lethargy of all functions, hypothermia, excessive discharge, hypertrophy of glands; sluggish course of all processes, which leads to self-poisoning of the blood, stagnation of lymph, venous congestion, and fatty infiltration. At a young age, pathological predispositions and allergic disorders appear: vasomotor rhinitis, hay fever, bronchial asthma, migraine, exudative diathesis, eczema, diarrhea, rheumatism, etc. The peculiarity is clinical alternation, namely: exudative diathesis disappears, asthma appears, asthma is replaced by eczema or diarrhea, etc.

In the neuro-endocrine apparatus: dominance of the vagus, dominance of the adrenal glands, decreased activity of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, thyroid and gonads. In old age, lethargy of all reactions, slowness of movements, muscle weakness, looseness of adipose tissue, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, shortness of breath, atherosclerosis, premature aging.

Psyche: sociability, frankness, tenderness, gentleness of character, mood swings, cowardice, tendency to affect, fear, anxiety, liveliness with an inability to exert tension, quick and acute reactions.

Type Calcarea fluorica (Calcium fluoratum) .

Morphology: abnormal development bones, facial asymmetry, protrusion of the upper jaw, improper alignment of teeth, soft enamel, weakness articular ligaments(dislocations and sprains), weakness of elastic fibers of blood vessels (varicose veins, hemorrhoids, hematomas, vascular tumors), weakness of connective and muscle tissue (frequent prolapse of the stomach, kidneys, uterus, hernia), hypertrophy and hardening of the lymph glands.

Physiology(temperament): the ability to secrete toxins and protect is sharply weakened and “perverted”; decay products burden organs and tissues, especially blood vessels and nerves; there is a lot of water in the tissues, blood circulation is sluggish, venous congestion is characteristic, trophism is impaired, an abundance of secretions, sluggish reactions, adynamia, prolapse abdominal organs, hair loss, uneven nails, fistulas, chronic skin ulcerations, ulcers of the digestive organs, spondyloarthrosis.

Neuro-endocrine picture: delay general development, lethargy of all functions; cardiovascular and digestive disorders. This type does not have time to develop before it becomes pathological, suffering from gouty diathesis, chronic varicose veins, and early sclerosis.

Psyche: includes mental traits Calcarea carbonica, as well as infantilism, instability, timidity, indecisiveness, lack of will and independence.

Characteristics of Calcarea carbonica (Calcium carbonicum): child Calcarea carbonica- fat, plump, damp rather than strong, clumsy, lethargic, of insufficient height; the head is large, the fontanelles, especially the anterior one, do not close, the stomach protrudes; pale skin, large facial features, upper lip swollen; teeth cut late; have jagged edges; the feet are cold, the scalp is sweating a lot; he begins to walk and talk late, is predisposed to weeping inflammations of the skin, rashes, eczema (especially on the scalp), he has inflammations of the ear, cervical and axillary glands, chronic catarrh of the nose with thickening and ulceration of its wings.

Sometimes such a child is very thin and has delicate thin sagging skin, long silky hair, and a predisposition to rickets and tuberculosis. All this occurs due to a violation of the lymph composition.

Symptoms: feeling of coldness in the feet and knees, in the crown of the head; constant chilliness (a slight draft penetrates through); feeling weak for no reason or from walking a little; bouts of heat in the face; increased acidity of the entire digestive tract (sour taste in the mouth, sour belching, sour vomiting, sour stool); profuse sweat on the head; aversion to meat, milk and fatty foods; appetite for eggs and sweets; craving for eating chalk and coal.

Modality. Worsening of symptoms occurs from cold, dampness, when the weather changes, during the full moon, early in the morning, from mental work and tight clothing. Improvement - after breakfast, in the room, from loosening tight clothes.

The predominant action is on the right side.

Calcarea carbopica Suitable for children and women more than men, especially effective for depressed, tearful moods, anxiety, fear or anger.

The drug acts very slowly, so its doses should be rare or with intermediate medications; In children, appointments may be more frequent. High divisions act deeper and more firmly than low divisions. Calcarea carbonica more suitable for chronic diseases than acute ones.

Application of doses: 4-6-12-30 divisions.

Calcarea carbonica is a very broad remedy with many branches. Maybe, The best way to describe it is to consider each of the three levels separately.

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

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

So whenever you see a 60-70 year old patient obviously in need of Calc. carb., you can be sure that this patient has a fundamentally strong constitution. Typically, such elderly Calc. patients. carb. lived active lives and had very few health problems. Finally - perhaps due to overexertion or excessive life stress - they exhibit some pathology. In such cases the prognosis is very good. Anyone who can maintain in old age the same image of the drug that is characteristic of childhood can be said to have a fundamentally healthy constitution.

Calc type children carb. present a very typical picture. In general, they are plump, soft and flabby. The complexion is usually waxy and rather pale. They have little vital energy, so they usually avoid physical work. By nature, they are rather reserved, reserved and rely only on themselves. They prefer to sit and watch rather than actively participate in other children's games.

Calc type children carb. show a clear tendency to sweat profusely. It can begin even after mild stress, but the most typical time for its appearance is the first ten minutes or so of sleep. Sweating is especially intense in the neck area, then on the head and face, and finally in the upper torso. In children the lower torso almost never sweats, although adult Calc. carb. they sweat there too. In adults, cold, clammy sweat appears on the palms and soles of the feet. Adults can sweat even in the cold; the body gives a somewhat unusual reaction, causing them to sweat in the cold.

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

In adults, the situation is reversed. Caution for adult Calc. carb. often focuses entirely on gut health. Here the situation is the opposite: diarrhea brings relief, and constipation worsens the condition. Interestingly, such changes often occur in different stages development of many homeopathic medicines.

The typical aggravation seen in adults from cold damp weather in children of the Calc. type. carb. does not appear. Sometimes the sweating can make one mistakenly think that they are hot-blooded people. They sweat from the slightest exertion. Additionally, sweating early in sleep may cause them to throw the covers off the top half of their body.

Calc type children carb. experience a distinct desire for soft-boiled eggs and sugar.

Calc type children carb. usually do well at school. They are smart, but their process of understanding can be a little slow. They take a little longer to understand the material being presented, and therefore often feel rushed while working. However, they are capable of working hard and can spend hours doing homework.

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

Moreover, between the ages of approximately six and twelve years, children of the Calc. type. carb. Usually there is a strong curiosity about the supernatural, the unknown, the 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 do people die? What happens to us after we die?" - Of course, these questions depend on the type of education of the child, and for many children they are natural. However, in children of the Calc. carb. this curiosity can reach pathological extremes. Such a child can say that he is really waiting for an angel to come and take him to heaven.

I cannot exactly explain this tendency of Calc children. carb. Apparently, it arises from their observations of the world around them. They see suffering and injustice; perhaps there is a conflict between parents. Then someone mentions God and the concept easily penetrates their consciousness. Apparently God, angels and supernatural influences explain the world to them. They constantly think about these things, ask questions and create different fantasies.

In adults, this tendency is expressed as a fear of insanity. At Calc. carb. the fear of madness is the fear of losing control, the fear of the unknown. These people have learned well to use their minds and rely on them to overcome difficulties. So when they finally collapse under too much stress and overexertion, their greatest fear is losing their mind, which is their main means of maintaining control.

At Calc. carb. pathology occurs as a result of exposure to stress and prolonged efforts to overcome it. They are capable people who, under normal circumstances, are generally healthy. However, prolonged stress and overexertion ultimately lead to collapse, first on the physical, and then on the emotional and mental levels. The biggest enemy of Calc type patients. carb. is overstrain - both physical and mental.

On physical level in Calc type patients. carb. the pathology mainly affects the musculoskeletal system. The main manifestations at the physical level are rheumatism and arthritis. In adults there is definitely aggravation in cold damp weather and amelioration from warmth. In Calc. type patients. carb. The disease primarily affects the lumbar region. It begins there and then spreads to the neck and limbs. Whenever you see a slightly obese patient who is unaffected by cold damp weather and who complains mainly of arthritis and rheumatism, it is very likely that it is Calc. carb.

In Calc. type patients. carb. cold extremities. They wear socks to 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 also begins to collapse. They often focus on trifles; their minds become preoccupied with unimportant details. They make stupid jokes or chatter incessantly about insignificant things that no one cares about.

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

Gradually, this state of obsession with fear turns into hysterical. They seem to lose their ability to understand and concentrate. They don't know what they want and become very anxious, pacing, having impulses to break things, jump out of windows, scream and yell. All this happens without provocation or after very little provocation. They are in a state of confusion and just want to scream or do something desperate.

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

When the mental level is destroyed in Calc. carb. a characteristic symptom appears - the fear that others will notice the confusion of their consciousness. They are aware of the dullness of their minds, their inability to maintain attention, and the resulting confusion. They live in fear that this confusion will be discovered by others. However, Calc. patients. carb. will 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 enormous 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 thing to disappear, of course, is sweating. Cold, wet weather may not have the same effect on these deeply suffering people. They may still feel cold, but not nearly as much as before. The desire for eggs and sweets may also disappear.

It's easy to confuse Calc at this point. carb. with Phosphorus. If the patient continues to have the typical thirst for cold drinks, ice cream and salt, then the decision may be very difficult, since anxiety about health, fear of death and inspired fears of cancer and heart disease may point equally to Phosphorus. At Calc. carb. There is a fear of thunderstorms and a fear of the dark. At Calc. carb. there is often palpitation of the heart which resembles Phosphorus.

However, there are a few things that can differentiate Calc. carb. from Phosphorus. Calc. carb. does not need company as much as Phosphorus. 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 food. Both have a very strong thirst for cold water, but it is much more pronounced in Phosphorus: this thirst may be emphasized in Calc. carb. one or at most two traits, while Phosphorus has two or three. Finally, the physical appearance. Phosphorus is tall, thin and frail. Calc. carb. usually corpulent and flabby. Even a thin Calc. patient. carb. covered with wrinkles and not so fragile in appearance.

If we wanted to get a patient with Calcarea carbonica, we would have to stuff 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 deficiency of necessary substances will increase in the tissues. Thus, we will see a typical “calcareous” patient, a case associated with bone demineralization, which most accurately defines the essence of the drug in question. Children who receive a certain amount of “lime water” with milk always become “lime” patients to one degree or another. Their body very often turns out to be unable to extract calcium from natural foods, as a result we are faced with a Calcarea carbonica patient, to a detailed description of which we will now devote some time.

True “calcareous” patients are people with congenital pathology; immediately after birth, they are determined to be unable to digest and absorb calcium from natural food; such children grow up lethargic, suffer from excess weight, and they often experience bone decalcification. The percentage of cartilage tissue in their bones significantly exceeds the percentage of calcium found in them, as a result of which the bones become too flexible, which causes the occurrence of various diseases and destructive changes. Damage to teeth or lack thereof. Bones stop growing, and 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 unwarranted as anything else in allopathy? And 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 is truly appropriate for the case can restore the child’s ability to digest and assimilate food, and release calcium from food, which is so necessary for bones and other tissues. Then teeth will immediately begin to grow; bone growth and development will be restored, the legs will become so strong that the baby will be able to walk. Under the influence of various medications that are indicated for impaired growth of hair, bones and nails, surprising changes usually occur in the body of young patients. But only a sufficiently potentized drug is able to resist pathology. And of course, the medicine should not contain unprocessed material, since the child’s body is already sufficiently retarded in development, precisely because of this substance in its pure form.

In just a month or at most six weeks after a single dose of a sufficiently potentized medicine, you will see that the child’s nails, which were previously uneven, rough, speckled and brittle, are gradually and very gently modified, their growth is normalized, their edges are leveled. These children usually have ugly plaque on their teeth, their teeth may be crooked, and they sometimes have black deposits that appear to grow right out of their gums. After prescribing adequate homeopathic treatment, a clear marginal line is formed on the teeth; at an outside glance, the teeth already appear healthy, smooth and even. It seems that the child has 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 carbonica patient is in dire need of calcium, but does not get enough of it because the body was once oversaturated with it; or because, due to digestive and absorption disorders, the patient’s body is not able to absorb calcium from the food received, which, as it were, passes through the patient’s body without having any effect. A similar situation is observed in many other diseases that we encounter, when the patient’s body is unable to absorb and accumulate necessary substances from food. This substance cannot be neglected simply because it is merely a material for the formation of teeth. High potencies, of course, will not provide the body with the necessary amount of material to build 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 is completely irrelevant whether the patient has been “poisoned” with 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, it may be necessary to prescribe one of ten drugs that can potentially restore this physiological function. Calcarea carbonica will not always be indicated in this situation. A drug that fully corresponds to the symptoms of each specific case will definitely be able to change the pathologically organized vital activity of the body to normal, digestion will become more orderly, prosperity will come to the body, and the necessary conditions for normal development will arise. A case of Calcarea carbonica is determined by the symptoms present and not by a history of lime poisoning. You may have to deal with patients who have never received any lime at all, and yet their condition requires the use of Calcarea carbonica. Many children never received excess calcium, but from birth their digestive tract was unable to absorb calcium from food and store it in the body.

Congestions, including rushes of blood to the head, are typical for Calcarea carbonica; cold feet; hothead; chest congestion. Calcarea carbonica is very often indicated in chlorotic and anemic children with pale and waxy skin, but in spite of this, in plump children. Excess weight, lethargy, and pallor are 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 refers to the condition of anemic girls. A great number of different remedies can be prescribed for such symptoms, but it is Calcarea carbonica that causes the type of anemia commonly called chlorosis. Pernicious anemia is also characteristic of this medicine. Pronounced relaxation of tissues throughout the body; flabby muscles; venous tone is reduced; all the walls of the blood vessels are so relaxed (especially in the lower extremities and anus) that hemorrhoidal symptoms or varicose veins in the legs occur. The veins are stretched, and there is burning and burning pain in the varicose veins. Bleeding and leakage of fluids. Inflammation and painful swelling of the joints.

Another distinguishing feature of this remedy, which runs through its entire pathogenesis, is its tendency to attack glandular tissue; glands in the neck, throughout the body, especially the lymph nodes. Lymph nodes in the abdominal cavity become dense, inflamed and painful, increase to large sizes, resembling hazel fruits; tuberculous degeneration is possible. Calcarea carbonica is effective against tuberculous lesions. Calcified degenerations, calcified glands and lymph nodes, their compaction. The medicine is effective in compacting ulcers, at the base and around them, therefore it has a remarkable palliative and suppressive effect in case of malignant degeneration of ulcers, since malignant ulcers always have a compacted base. Old cancerous ulcers stop growing, the normal constitutional state is restored, the patient is able to resist the development of the malignant process, and a tendency to healing appears. Such cancerous lesions usually cause death within sixteen months, and after the administration of Calcarea carbonica the life span 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 with lesions of glandular tissue, when the surrounding glands or lymph nodes are infiltrated and compacted, when burning and stinging pains are noted, and 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 fused to the skin, are mobile and do not have fibrous growths, and therefore are not fixed. Cancerous lesions are burning and stinging. The pathogenesis of Calcarea carbonica is so closely related to the process of tissue growth in the glands and lymph nodes that, when appropriate symptoms are present, this remedy is capable of curing many tumors, both fatty and cellular. It restores both glands and bone tissue.

Another characteristic symptom reflected in the entire pathogenesis of the drug is pyaemic states, expressed in abscesses in the deep muscles. Abscesses located deep in the thickness of the neck muscles, deep in the thighs, in the abdominal cavity. You may be surprised to know that Calcarea carbonica works well in curing abscesses (when the symptoms are consistent) and its action is never weakened. I have observed many times how abscesses disappeared, and precisely at the period when the most pronounced fluctuation was determined. I saw how abscesses where there was a large amount of pus disappeared; Moreover, not only the abscesses themselves regressed, but also the accompanying pyaemic state. We know of only a few drugs that can do this. This is a unique and exceptional feature.

How does Calcarea carbonica promote fluid absorption and promote calcification of the affected areas? I cannot give a clear enough rationale for this fact, but the medicine certainly has extraordinary powers - provided, of course, that the symptoms are similar. Sulfur and Silicea, when the main symptoms coincide, can accelerate the process of suppuration. The specific action of Calcarea carbonica is to absorb pathological secretions and 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 that is typical of the independent development and spread of the abscess, which in itself may prove dangerous; in such cases, surgical treatment should be resorted to to carefully remove the abscess, even if it is obvious that if it were localized in a safer place, it would be much better to limit the administration of the necessary medicine. Sometimes the periosteum is damaged due to deep, especially chopped and incised injuries; trauma or contusion of the periosteum.

In cases of severe inflammation and rapid formation of pus, it is necessary to prescribe Calcarea carbonica, especially with the corresponding constitutional type of the patient, then the surgical knife can be completely useless, and often even harmful. Hearing this, an old school physician who knows nothing about homeopathy and the power of homeopathic remedies will likely be horrified. “By causing the resorption of pus into the circulatory system, you thereby 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 illness, the condition stabilizes. Based on the position of routine medicine, we will never be able to fully appreciate the capabilities 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; we only need knowledgeable and thoughtful professionals; when the doctor is able to think and draw conclusions based on the laws well known to him, when he applies medicine in accordance with the existing symptoms, then the situation will certainly develop exactly as described above.

Another characteristic symptom of the drug is the ability to form polyps. In Calcarea carbonica patients, polyps form in the nose, ears, vagina, bladder, and many other places. Cellular growth and papillomatosis are characteristic.

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

The Calcarea carbonica patient is very chilly. Sensitive to cold air, chilly winds, approaching thunderstorms; in the cold season, when the weather changes from warm to cold, it can be very difficult for him to keep warm; strives 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 freezing, and puts on a huge amount of clothing. Feet are cold. Sweats in different parts of the body, in places. Sweating in the forehead, face, back of the neck, front of the chest, and feet. Sensitivity to cold and weakness are evident throughout the remedy. Weakness in the legs. Lack of stamina. Worse from any effort. Choking. Overweight, lethargic anemic patients, sometimes they can be called chubby, their faces are usually ruddy, they are completely intolerable, after every, even minimal physical effort, the patient may develop a fever or headache. Many of the complaints of Calcarea carbonica arise from heavy lifting, from exertion, from walking, from physical exertion which causes sweating; all symptoms begin suddenly, since in order to reduce sweating, the patient must remain at rest for some time, which immediately entails illness. If he sweats and stops for a moment to cool down a little, the sweating will stop so abruptly that the patient will immediately feel cold or have a headache. Weak, tired, anxious. Difficulty breathing. Weak heart. Weakness throughout the body. The muscular frame is not able to withstand any more or less prolonged physical effort, and the same applies to mental processes.

The brain cannot withstand prolonged stress. A tired patient is typical of Calcarea carbonica. He suffers from calcium deficiency. His body is unable to digest calcium, his glands become enlarged, his neck and lower limbs lose weight, while the fat layer and lymph glands of the abdomen increase. This is especially pronounced in children. Children with large bellies, thin limbs and thin necks. Enlarged glands and lymph nodes. Pale, lethargic 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 carbonica patients have difficulty climbing stairs; they feel severe fatigue in their legs and chest; climbing the steps, they breathe quickly and heavily, suffocating. They have every reason for muscle weakness and flabbiness. Eating disorders affect everything. This type of patient was usually called scrofulous; now this condition is called psora; Calcarea carbonica is a profound antipsoric. This medicine is able to penetrate deeply into vital processes and have a powerful effect on the patient’s constitution.

Let us now consider the mental symptoms. All mental manifestations of Calcarea carbonica reflect a state of marked weakness; inability for long-term mental work. Filled with fears, quickly gets tired mentally and physically, does not tolerate work associated with psycho-emotional stress, is subject to bouts of severe sweating, becomes excitable, irritable and restless. Significant emotional distress; after excessive excitement, complaints appear that can last for days or even weeks; a state of prostration is possible after grief, after troubles, or after some strong emotional disorder. "Can't pull himself together." For some time after mental excitement, grief or disorder, the patient is unable to think correctly. The medicine is very useful in the treatment of complaints arising from prolonged anxiety, prolonged work loads, and agitation.

The drug has a huge number of mental characteristics that in many ways distinguish it from other drugs; 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 madness, reflects on this, considers himself crazy or gradually going crazy; his own mind seems weakened to him, thoughts are constantly present in his head that he is going crazy, becoming weak-minded 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 speak about it openly. He is sure that complete madness will soon await him, that those around him 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 carbonica tends to be deficient in thoughts; this remedy causes an impoverishment of the psyche, the thoughts become insignificant, dwell on trifles, the patient's mind is absorbed in insignificant thoughts which he is unable to discard. 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 head, 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 be losing the depth of his mental processes. He now bases his conclusions on emotion rather than reason. He has his own concepts, and he demands that reality fully comply with them. It may seem that the patient even wants to go crazy, he talks about it so much. He loses the ability to argue his statements, and over time this condition deepens. He can no longer trust his doctor, even if in the past there was complete understanding between them. It seems completely useless for him to prove anything; although his condition is not so bad, he, as a rule, has his own opinions on any matter, the only thing he does not understand is the state of his own mind. He often fantasizes; It is always surprising how such a thing can be thought of, since the patient’s imagination often concerns very small, insignificant things. Gradually, the patient actually becomes either crazy, or weak-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 and sits. The text says: "Sits and rocks in a chair or breaks off pinheads all day long." Busy with little things, this is the only thing he pays attention to, but this makes him more and more tired. Trying to think about anything else becomes impossible. The patient is unable to make a decision; he absolutely cannot have two thoughts connected with each other. He cannot add or subtract even the simplest numbers.

The patient thinks so often about his mental problems, 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, goes to bed and thinks: “Now I’ll go to sleep and get rid of all these thoughts,” - as soon as he closes his eyes, at that very second he sees terrible little ghosts, he immediately opens them, gets scared, gets excited; cannot free his brain from these horrors. He cannot sleep because he is overcome by thoughts and various visions. His brain is not harmonious. A strong mind usually resists this kind of nonsense, but this is what the Calcarea carbonica patient encounters. Talking to himself. Lying in bed or sitting alone, the patient continues a 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 condition is from healthy, 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, perform some ordinary, everyday activities. He only starts acting strange when he is alone and no one is talking to him. Being in company, he controls himself, he develops 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 completely falls into delirium or insanity. Fingers fingers, performs many specific little things. When you close your eyes, visions and different faces appear. “Imagines that someone is walking behind her back.” In the Silicea trials, similar symptoms were also very pronounced. The same is true for Calcarea carbonica and 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 women. “Mental abnormalities with terrible visions. They see dogs crowded around and fight with them.” A characteristic sensation that occurs mainly in nervous women is: “feels a desire to rush back and forth and cry.” She seems unable to hold back her tears. These symptoms occur in people who are too tired from work or very upset by the death of someone in the family. A mother loses a child, or a wife loses her husband; a young girl loses her fiancé. She is heartbroken and very excited. This is a hysterical state. I observed the same thing in men. I remember one incident well. The patient fell ill due to problems at work. He had the same sensation; he felt the need to walk up and down the house, to fly or jump out of a window, or do something similar. This is similar to the mental state of hysteria or severe agitation. "She is unable to think about anything other than murders, fires, rats, etc." We already know the need to talk about trifles and nonsense. She is interested in something that no one else is interested in. When I met such patients, I always asked them why they did this or that. They usually say: “I tried to stop, but when I realized that I couldn’t anyway, I just gave in to my desires because it seemed like it would benefit me.” “She thinks and talks about murders, fires, rats, etc.” Your patients may 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, talks and talks and talks. Attacks of sudden crying. Sometimes the Calcarea carbonica patient refuses to speak at all and sits silently. The patient can talk to herself when alone, but refuses to participate in general conversation and is constantly silent.

The Calcarea carbonica patient sometimes has an aversion to work and quits it. He leaves a thriving business and sits at home, doing nothing, resulting in terrible fatigue, which appears at a time when he has achieved success in his business. He believes that this job is not suitable for him. He is tired of everything and when he has to do business again, it seems to him that this activity will drive him crazy. He no longer wants to see, hear, or remember his work. You have probably already noticed that the Calcarea carbonica patient is not so much bothered by weakness and fatigue from failures in business, although this is also present, but rather by overwork that breaks him, and right at the peak of his success he suddenly gives up everything and withdraws into his own life. home, gives up everything - it seems that the person is overcome by laziness. 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 tramps, although this can also be present and should be taken into account in treatment. The patient was a business man - and suddenly everything changed. Pronounced metamorphoses occur in the psyche, pathological symptoms appear. These are not those people who were born lazy and never strived for work, but those who became so. This is reminiscent of a situation where a pious and devout person, whose reasoning has always been characterized by righteousness, suddenly begins to curse and blaspheme. Of course, it immediately becomes clear that this person is crazy. 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 frantically day and night; they get up before dawn and work until late. It is also a painful condition. Therefore, when we find the column “Industriousness” in the repertory, keep in mind that this does not mean ordinary industriousness, but pathological, which already becomes a symptom of the disease. The patient is so industrious that it resembles mania.

"Whining, ill humor and melancholy." It is strange to see a small, pretty girl of 8-9 years old, in a state of current and melancholy, talking about the future life, about angels, about how she wants to die quickly and get there, she is very sad, reading the Bible all day long. This is quite rare and goes away quickly after using Calcarea carbonica. Both Arsenicum and Lachesis can also help in this condition. Such children are precocious, they attend Sunday school and take what they learn there too seriously. Sad and unhappy children, old people, disappointed and tired of life. This condition is much like Aurum. When meeting 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, strives 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 a thinking disorder. One may remain completely unchanged, while the other may be disrupted. In Calcarea carbonica we find a disturbance of both. Madness may affect the patient's consciousness so that all expressions of his love are distorted; he no longer loves as he was used to, not as he loved before his illness. Antipathy towards one's own family or one of its members. Or, it is possible that the patient’s attachments 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 think logically, that others will notice his mental disorders.” “Fear of death, illness, failure, loneliness.” Many fears, especially when consciousness is damaged. The patient flinches at every sound. Can't sleep, so usually rests body and mind alternately. During sleep, the patient experiences terrible dreams. Restless sleep. “Severe anxiety and depression. Anxiety and palpitations. Frustration, hopelessness." It is necessary to be able to combine these symptoms and combine them with the leukophlegmatic, pale, lethargic and sickly type of the patient. "Crybaby. Gets scared easily." Many complaints arise after mental stress. Complaints after excitement, distress or fright.

The patient has very weak blood circulation and heart; the slightest excitement causes palpitations. Every physical effort causes the patient to experience shortness of breath; this is so strongly expressed throughout the entire circulatory system, in the circulatory system of the brain, and has such a noticeable effect on the intellect and on the sensitive sphere, that for almost any reason the patient experiences dizziness, which is interspersed with other symptoms. Fear, anxiety and dizziness. Dizziness occurs when the patient's emotions are excited. When climbing stairs, blood rushes to the head and dizziness begins. Changes in consciousness and dizziness from mental effort. Dizziness also begins in cases where the patient is surprised when he hears bad news, from grief or mental excitement. A change in consciousness, a rush of blood to the head, cold extremities, the patient becomes covered in sweat, and dizziness occurs. “Dizziness when climbing to heights” as a consequence of the physical effort expended. “When climbing stairs or up a mountain. When standing up suddenly, when turning the head, or even at rest.”

One of the most significant symptoms of Calcarea carbonica on the head is profuse sweating; The head sweats from the slightest effort. The face sweats, while the rest of the body is completely dry, the head is covered in cold sweat, while nothing similar is observed in the rest of the body. The same goes for the feet. When your feet get very cold, they start to sweat. However, when they warm up, they also sweat. Usually when people go into a cold room they stop sweating, but the Calcarea carbonica patient sometimes has sweat on his head and feet under such conditions. He sweats on his forehead, so any draft gives him chills or a headache. The head freezes, so he has to wrap the scalp, although during an attack of congestion the head may be hot. At times my head starts to burn. The headaches of Calcarea carbonica are stupefying and stupefying; they may be accompanied by a change in consciousness.

The Calcarea carbonica patient often has catarrhal lesions of the nose with more or less discharge; He feels best when there is copious discharge. In the cold, these secretions stop and a headache occurs. Headache above the eyes. Congestion in the head; in the back of the head. "Rending headaches in the region of the eyes, going down to the nose," is a very characteristic symptom of Calcarea carbonica. There is a feeling as if a large wedge is stuck into the sore spot. These pains are relieved by very hot compresses, in the dark; intensifies in daylight. When pain occurs, the patient is forced to go into a dark room and lie down in order to relieve the pain at least a little. Sometimes headaches are relieved by lying in the dark. They increase during the day, but in the evening they intensify so much that nausea and vomiting begin. This is a type of constitutional headache that occurs once every one or two weeks. Periodic headaches. Migraines, what used to be called the “American disease.” Typically, 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 and 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 nasal area from the supraorbital region. Temporal headaches, causing a feeling of compression and severe tension in the forehead. Headaches, aggravated by movement, walking, talking.

Many Calcarea carbonica headaches are accompanied by intense throbbing as their intensity increases. The pulsation becomes so strong that when describing it to the patient, the term “pulsation” is no longer enough; he compares it with the knocking of hammers. Most headaches are pressing or tearing. "Jerking headaches." Sharp, throbbing pain in the head, feeling as if the head is splitting. Headaches worsen from walking and shaking. Sometimes the patient feels cold in the head area, 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 to a hat or helmet placed on his head. It can be quite difficult for a patient to describe all these sensations; sometimes the same symptom is hidden behind different descriptions. All Calcarea carbonica headaches are related to congestion to some degree.

A characteristic feature of Calcarea carbonica is the inverse relationship between the temperature of the external and internal parts: the more pronounced the congestion in the internal parts, the colder the external areas become. If there are lesions in the chest, stomach, intestines, hands and feet, the patient becomes ice cold and covered in sweat; the patient lies in bed with a high fever, while his head is also covered with a cold sweat. Remember this unusual feature. This cannot be logically explained from the point of view of the development of pathology. When there are such inexplicable symptoms, they should in no case be ignored during repertorization, since they are almost always specific and most accurately determine the essence of the remedy. This symptom is so pronounced in Calcarea carbonica that it is, in fact, a general characteristic of the remedy. A burning sensation in the back of the head is characteristic, which is often combined with coldness in the forehead, or the entire head may seem cold, with the exception of one burning area in the crown. Calcarea carbonica again exhibits cold head and icy feet when walking in cold air or very cold weather; but as soon as the legs warm up, the other extreme arises - they burn so much that you have to stick them out from under the blanket. Inexperienced doctors are always confused by this symptom; they prescribe Sulfur, since this is really the key symptom of Sulfur. Those doctors who always rely on the key symptoms and in any case where the patient puts his feet out from under the blanket, prescribe Sulfur, while in fact this situation is not at all limited to Sulfur, since a number of medicines are characterized by a burning sensation in the feet

Calcarea carbonica typically affects the bones of the skull and the outer parts of the head. Slow ossification. The fontanelles do not close for too long. Characterized by hydrocephalus, effusion into the meningeal space, the bones grow poorly and do not correspond to the growth rate of the head, so the sutures begin to separate, the head becomes larger and wider, which is typical for hydrocephalus. In hydrocephalic children, sweating in the head area is often detected. During their night's sleep, sweat flows from the head 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 it is a terrible period with nightmares, the pillow around the head usually gets wet. Plethoric old people with a broken constitution, fat, flabby, lymphatic patients with enlarged lymph nodes, increased 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 identified on the side of the head or at the back; hair falls out in clumps, in two or three places. Rashes appear on the head and face; eczema in children and newborns. "Thick crusts on the face with yellow pus." Fetid eruptions.

Eye symptoms also often occur. Calcarea carbonica can become one of the main assistants of the ophthalmologist, if only he uses it correctly. The indication for this medicine is not any inflammation, but only diseases in patients with a full and flabby constitution, when any cold affects the eyes and causes inflammation, which continues for several days and then ulceration begins, in such cases Calcarea should be seriously considered carbonica. Blisters form, burst and turn into ulcers. Eye symptoms arise from getting wet feet, riding in cold air, or cold, damp weather. Corneal ulcerations. All complaints from the eyes and head are accompanied by such pronounced photophobia that at the height of the manifestation of these symptoms the Calcarea carbonica patient absolutely cannot bear ordinary light, and exposure to sunlight is associated with severe pain. In many cases, inflammation begins immediately after bright sunlight or prolonged eye strain. All types of stress cause headaches and eye problems. Tension due to weakness of a muscle. Accommodation disorders. Worse from slightest strain of the eyes; note that this is a manifestation of one of the general characteristics - aggravation from effort. The patient cannot tolerate any more or less prolonged effort; this manifests itself both in individual symptoms and in the general condition. Everything can be considered as effort - reading, writing, any use of the organs of vision. In Calcarea carbonica, tension worsens the condition of the whole organism and its individual parts. Calcarea carbonica can cure cataracts. The drug is also characterized by other eye lesions, especially when combined with headache symptoms, fevers, and any disorders arising from tension; the patient may suddenly become fussy and restless, a change in consciousness occurs that resembles delirium, and when he closes his eyes, he sees terrible visions, ghosts, and ghosts. Long before this, pathological changes occur in tissues, in the retina or other disorders in the eye area, which are detected ophthalmoscopically. During this period, the patient may complain that the entire field of vision seems to be obscured by clouds of smoke or steam; he looks as if through a veil or veil. "Decreased visual acuity." Poor vision. Weak eye muscles. The patient complains of deterioration of vision, 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 prolonged fixation of the gaze on the same object. Such efforts extremely exhaust the patient and cause bursting pain 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 in any part of 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 opacities (Baryta iodata). But in advanced cases there is no need 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 painful condition itself.

A competent homeopath never bases his prescription on the outcome of the disease, but only on the condition of the patient. Cloudiness itself is not a symptom, but a consequence of the disease. Often, when the prescription is based on the patient's general symptoms, symptoms such as clouding will begin to resolve 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 came to you. Don't be alarmed when this pathology doesn't go away right away; but if all the patient’s symptoms improve, if he now eats, sleeps, and moves well, then it is not 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 cloudiness remained, but the other 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 there is no need for you to be prescribed any more medicine.” And six months later, such a patient came and asked: “Doctor, do you think it was your medicine that helped me? Recently the cloudiness has completely disappeared.” I am talking about this here only to show you how long you can expect 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 don't be surprised by it. And then the medicine will do everything it can do. And there is one more point that I would like to touch upon here. Even when no symptoms remain, and after a long time no new symptoms have appeared, but the cloudiness remains, I think of a new dose of the same drug that previously brought significant relief to the patient, and the pathological changes often begin to disappear. So Calcarea carbonica is a great helper to ophthalmologists, and any physician should treat eye diseases as well as an ophthalmologist if he is to try to treat a patient. When prescribing medicine, I doubt whether medical specialization is needed at all, since a homeopath prescribes medicine for the patient as a whole. The medicine is aimed at the patient regardless of what hurts him: eyes, ears, throat, liver or anything else.

The medicine is also related to a variety of ear related problems. Thick yellow discharge from the ears. The ears begin to hurt in cold, dank weather, as soon as the patient gets a little chilled, stands in the cold, or the weather suddenly changes to damp and cold. When he is relatively well, then, as with other catarrhal conditions, there is copious discharge. But when, under the influence of unfavorable external conditions and cold, these secretions are suppressed, then a slight inflammation begins, and this is enough to cause headaches and throbbing. This happens every time after an external adverse influence. Wherever the catarrh occurs - in the nose, ears, eyes - it is always accompanied by a headache. The Calcarea carbonica patient is so quickly damaged by bad and cold weather, and is so sensitive to cold that even warm clothing cannot protect him. He has a weak body, easily susceptible to environmental influences. If his ears hurt, this is accompanied by deterioration of hearing, purulent inflammation of the middle ear, catarrh of the Eustachian tubes, etc., all this causes headaches and involvement of regional lymph nodes in the process.

A runny nose causes many problems to the patient. Old, persistent runny nose with thick yellow discharge and large crusts in the nose. In the morning, abnormal black, bloody pieces come out of the nose. The patient breathes through his nose for part of the night, then his nose becomes blocked and he is forced to breathe through his mouth. The medicine cures many cases of nasal polyps. When the homeopath trusts the symptoms he sees and, after studying the case, feels what medicine to use, he can prescribe only on the basis of the symptoms. He says, “The patient needs Calcarea carbonica, I am sure of it.” The patient receives the medicine and leaves. It appears three to four weeks later, showing a dense lump of gelatinous consistency lying in a handkerchief: “Doctor, this is what came out of my nose. Could this be related to your medication?” You might not even know that the patient had polyps; this does not matter to you; you should not base your prescription on this. You don’t do anything that would remove polyps mechanically, let all these cauterizations and loops remain for those who do not know homeopathy, that’s why you don’t need a detailed examination of the nasal cavity, it is important for those who treat polyps, not the patient. Damage to the nasal bones. The inflammatory process in the nose lasts so long and penetrates so deeply that both the bones and cartilage of the nasal passages are infiltrated and destroyed. The surgeon can remove the bone, remove the cartilage and do these operations ad infinitum, and each operation will repeat the previous one, but if the patient wants to be cured, he must come to a homeopath. First you need to cure the person, and only then remove what needs to be removed.

Painful face covered with cold sweat. Sweating with the slightest effort, sometimes sweating occurs at night, on the forehead. “Cold sweat on the face. The face is pale, cachectic,” this happens in advanced cases of cancer or consumption. The face is sickly, sallow, pale, puffy. Rashes on the face, around the lips, cracks on the lips and raw mucous membranes in the mouth. Lips crack and bleed. Painful swelling of the parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands. The pathology of Calcarea carbonica is almost always accompanied by damage to glandular tissue - lymph nodes and glands.

Calcarea carbonica is a remedy for chronic inflammation of the throat. A sore throat in itself is not enough to warrant a prescription, but here we have just such a patient who catches colds so often that the intervals between colds are reduced and the throat hurts constantly. It may, and most often does, begin as a case of Belladonna sore throat, but before one cold is over, another begins. Remember, this is the property of the Calcarea carbonica patient - he catches a cold easily, from any draft, from the slightest hypothermia or slush. As soon as one cold like Belladonna goes away, he already feels that he is getting sick again. He may get better two or three times after taking Belladonna, but then the process will become chronic with the appearance of small red spots, even small ulcers in the throat, which gradually spread over the entire surface of the throat. They appear on the palate, accompanied by a dry tongue and a constant feeling of dryness and suffocation in the throat, spread to the tonsils and reach the choanae, becoming covered with thick yellow mucus. Chronic inflammation of the throat. The tongue may swell. “Swollen, red parts,” but this swelling occurs in patches. The throat is very painful when swallowing.

The stomach of Calcarea carbonica is slow. “The food eaten is retained in the stomach,” which is unable to digest it. It fills with acid. "Sour vomiting." Milk turns sour in the stomach. Milk intolerance, digestion is slow and weak. The patient has a feeling of fullness and fullness; enlargement of the stomach after eating; everything that gets into it turns sour, and no matter what a person eats, it upsets the function of the stomach. Thus, the stomach becomes completely weak. The Calcarea carbonica patient has a strong craving for eggs. Small children love to eat eggs, they eat them every time they sit down at the table, and they digest eggs better than anything else. It is quite rare for them to actually want to eat eggs, these are children with cold feet, thin limbs, large heads and enlarged bellies, with a stomach swollen in the shape of an inverted gravy boat; overweight, with a swollen belly, weak limbs; chilly and sensitive to cold; with pale, waxy skin. Subsequently, they completely lose their appetite, their craving for any type of food completely disappears, but the desire for eggs remains. Aversion to meat, to hot food. This is combined with enlargement of lymph nodes and glands, with goiter. Flatulence. Sour vomiting, sour diarrhea; sick people, especially children, emit a sharp, sour smell. In infants who are breastfed, milk comes out undigested; the stool is so sour that the smell can be heard from a distance. The stool is corrosive, diaper rash on the buttocks of infants in places of contact with the diaper. At times the stomach becomes saggy; when the gases go away, he relaxes, but most of the time he is in a bloated state due to flatulence. At those moments when the abdomen is relaxed, you can palpate the lymph nodes in it. They are hard and can be palpated when the abdominal wall is relaxed. Such patients have a tendency to tuberculosis, and one of the outcomes of the “calcareous constitution” will be tabes abdominal, tuberculous lesions of the mesenteric lymph nodes with the formation of tuberculous deposits.

Diarrhea: watery, sour; with gradual wasting, especially in the limbs. Each hypothermia is accompanied by increased gastrointestinal disorders and sour vomiting. Diarrhea that cannot stop, because every time the patient freezes, the diarrhea returns. If this is an acute attack, then Dulcamara often helps to relieve it, but if the diarrhea recurs repeatedly, then Dulcamara ceases to act; in this case one of the possible remedies would be Calcarea carbonica. On the other hand, it is one of the most effective remedies for old, persistent cases of constipation. When the diarrhea is not very severe, the stool is white; it is also white, chalk-like, and is also used for constipation. When the stool is light or white in a nursing infant, we may conclude that it is so due to milk, but the Calcarea carbonica patient may not live on milk at all, but eat quite ordinary food, but nevertheless his stool is completely devoid of bile pigments and barely colored, it is yellow or white; With constipation, the stool is also almost colorless and hard.

The Calcarea carbonica patient suffers from sexual weakness, with general relaxation and lethargy. Sometimes he feels an extraordinary desire, an all-consuming passion that keeps him awake at night. But he is weak, so weak that as soon as he allows himself to give in to his desire, he is overtaken by weakness in the back, sweating, general lethargy, so that all these ailments force him to refrain from such attempts.

Women suffer from the same problems. I have spoken so much about the constitutional weakness of Calcarea carbonica patients that you will not be surprised that Calcarea carbonica women often suffer from infertility. They are so lethargic and relaxed that they are completely unprepared for reproduction. Just like men, they suffer from apathy, sweating, drowsiness and general weakness after each sexual intercourse. All members are relaxed. Uterine prolapse. It seems that all the organs are about to fall off. A state of general relaxation and weakness of both female and male genital organs. Calcarea carbonica tends to grow warts and polyps, pedunculated polyps that bleed easily, are soft and spongy.

During menstruation, women have very heavy discharge, last too long, and the interval between discharge naturally shortens. Menses every three weeks, lasting a week, with profuse discharge, that is, they last too long, come too often and are copious. In this case, Calcarea carbonica is not necessarily indicated; a complete picture of the remedy, consisting of all the patient’s symptoms, is necessary. Sometimes it may seem that five or six key symptoms will be enough to prescribe a remedy, but imagine that this patient with the key symptoms of Calcarea carbonica turns out to be Pulsatilla - will your prescription then work? Imagine that the patient cannot stand the heat and a lot of clothing, he always wants fresh air, and at the same time he has the same few key symptoms of Calcarea carbonica - if you prescribe this medicine, you will not get anything. Until your general symptoms combine with the particular ones into a single whole, until the medicine fully matches the patient in all its general and particular manifestations, do not expect a good result. This is why I say that one should not prescribe for one key symptom, but look at the patient as a whole.

The general state of extreme relaxation that we always see in Calcarea carbonica patients also manifests itself in the form of leucorrhoea. Copious, thick, constant discharge day and night. The discharge is acrid, causing itching, tingling and burning. “Leucorrhea thick and yellow,” from one menstruation to another, sometimes interspersed with menstrual flow. “Polyps in the vagina. Burning and soreness of the genitals" due to leucorrhoea. "Itching and rawness" due to leucorrhoea. Uterine bleeding after lifting weights, from excitement, shock, any event that seriously disturbs balance, from fear, any strong emotion, muscle strain, i.e. from any event that ends in weakness and apathy. Inability to tense muscles or make any effort, physical or mental.

Complaints during pregnancy also boil down mainly to relaxation of all organs and general weakness. Risk of miscarriage. Weakness and prostration after childbirth with sweating. Weakness after breastfeeding.

Calcarea carbonica is characterized by painless hoarseness. The vocal cords are “tired” and unable to withstand contraction; almost paralytic weakness. Periodic copious secretion of mucus from the larynx. There is strong irritation in her, but weakness still prevails. We do not find the burning and rawness characteristic of Belladonna and Phosphorus, since painless hoarseness predominates here. In Belladonna and Phosphorus the hoarseness is accompanied by a sore throat, and such patients cannot speak without pain. But in the case of Calcarea carbonica, usually no one who suffers realizes how badly the throat is affected, since it does not cause any sensation. Thus, the disease progresses from bad to worse, and, given the existing tuberculous tendencies, the process ends in tuberculous laryngitis. Prescribed in the early stages, the remedy eliminates these tuberculous tendencies and cures laryngitis. Strong bubbling of mucus, hoarse breathing, wheezing as a result of the movement of copious amounts of mucus in the trachea, larynx, bronchi, and chest. Severe shortness of breath. Difficulty in breathing occurs when climbing stairs or walking into the wind. Anything that causes the slightest physical stress leads to shortness of breath. We encounter this with asthma, heart weakness, and the threat of developing tuberculosis. The condition of the lungs can often be understood by the pattern of breathing; when there is a threat of developing tuberculosis, breathing will be tired and weak. The person is so weakened that he cannot make the slightest breathing effort, gets tired easily, and it is difficult for him even to climb a few steps, climb to a hill, or walk against the wind.

Lung problems represent one of the most important areas of action of Calcarea carbonica. Here we have hemoptysis, prolonged cough, copious discharge of thick yellow mucus, sometimes almost pus, ulceration or abscess. Tickling cough. At the onset of pulmonary disease we observe the onset of exhaustion, pallor, sensitivity to cold, weather changes, cold air, dampness and wind. The patient constantly catches colds, and these colds settle in the chest; The limbs gradually become thinner, and a constant feeling of fatigue arises.

The remedy corresponds to that constitutional state of weakness which precedes the development of pulmonary tuberculosis or is present in its early stages. It prevents the patient from manifesting the tendency to hypothermia, which underlies the process. After taking Calcarea carbonica, the patient begins to feel better, his general condition improves, and the tuberculous deposits are encapsulated. The process progresses from caseous to petrified form, so that calcifications are found in the lungs many years later. The patient will live a long and healthy life, perfectly adapted to these residual tuberculous inclusions. Naturally, if a subject is in an advanced stage of development of tuberculosis, it is likely that little can be done to help him. Do not believe or listen to those who claim that it can cure tuberculosis. Here and there, claims appear about new methods of treating consumption. But anyone who knows enough to judge the real nature of this disease is not particularly competent in these matters, and I lose respect for those who claim to cure consumption. This is either crazy, or worse, the one who makes money from this. It is unlikely that anyone who understands this at least a little will shout to the whole world about curing pulmonary tuberculosis. But it is necessary to prevent the development of the disease, and Calcarea carbonica plays a huge role in this. The expectoration is often sweetish in taste, as in Stannum and Phosphorus. Sputum is white or yellow; thick. We could describe here for a long time all the general symptoms, rawness, soreness, apathy, types of pain and many small symptoms of the same kind, too numerous and not particularly adding anything, even if we go into detail about their varieties and shades. What needs to be studied is the constitution of Calcarea carbonica, the nature and character of this medicine.

Further symptoms from the spine, there are quite a lot of them. Weakness, all its stages. The Calcarea carbonica patient has such a weak back that he literally “drips” out of his chair when he sits down and cannot sit straight. He throws his head back when he sits down, so that the back of his head rests on the back of the chair. Weak, sensitive spine, swollen cervical lymph nodes. Again here we note a condition caused by a lack of calcium, in this case in the spine, which becomes deformed and curved. You will be surprised to hear this, but Calcarea carbonica works well in this situation and sometimes brings recovery without any orthopedic devices at all, if the medicine is prescribed at an early stage. You see children with beginning weakness of the spine, let them lie on their backs in bed and give them the indicated medicine - sometimes it will be Calcarea carbonica - and after a while the process stops and the baby sits up perfectly straight. These are the amazing things Calcarea carbonica does when all the symptoms coincide!

There is a rheumatic condition in the limbs which can be described. Gouty lesions of the joints, their enlargement, gouty conditions, especially small joints of the hand and foot, Rheumatic complaints from the joints from any influence, any change in weather to cold, especially from exposure to cold and dampness. The feet are constantly cold or cold and wet, except at night, when in bed more blankets are piled on the feet than on any other part of the body, then they become hot and go to the other extreme - a burning heat arises in them, thus the feet burn at night in bed. But this happens because the feet are very cold and the patient wraps them up more than his body can bear. So, cold, wet feet. The patient walks for a long time. Clumsiness, awkwardness, rigidity. Rheumatic condition. Stiffness is especially characteristic of Calcarea carbonica. Stiffness at the beginning of movement, at night when standing up, in all joints at the beginning of movement; if it becomes cold or the patient is exposed to cold rain, then the Calcarea carbonica patient will always suffer from cold, stiffness, rheumatism; rheumatic complaints occur after every cold spell.

The dream is very upset. He falls asleep late, sometimes cannot fall asleep until 2, 3, 4 am. Thoughts are spinning in my head; frightening visions when closing eyes. Grits his teeth. Children chew, swallow, and grind their teeth in their sleep. Insomnia for most of the night. Cold feet at night in bed.

Calcarea carbonica (fear of leaving one's shell)

This is one of the most important basic medicines for a child. The main mental symptom is fear. As soon as a child is afraid of more than three things (for example, the dark, dogs and diseases) one should think about Calcarea carbonica. These are often overweight, loose children with a swollen abdomen, an umbilical hernia, profuse sweating of the head and seborrheic dermatitis in infants. Teeth appear late and have difficulty (dental bronchitis, diarrhea). Bones tend to become deformed and break easily. Sometimes, on the contrary, we are dealing with thin children suffering from chronic diarrhea. They start walking and talking late. In their diet, they develop a passion for sweets, eggs and dairy products and an aversion to meat in general; calcium is the basis of our skeleton, this child is born with a too soft skeleton, with an open fontanel, Calcarea carbonica should be the basis of fear.

Throughout its life, Calcarea carbonica will try to create a protective shell for itself, ranging from seborrheic dermatitis and umbilical hernia in an infant to the search for a permanent job as an official in an adult.

Marten is an overweight 9-month-old child (9.5 kg) who has the following symptoms. Seborrheic dermatitis, umbilical hernia, narrowing of the right lacrimal canal, which causes chronic purulent conjunctivitis. Moreover, he is not sitting yet. An obvious improvement occurs after one dose of Calcarea carbonica 15CH.

Genevieve, 10 years old, suffering chronic nephritis with hematuria as a result of repeated tonsillitis, which was treated with antibiotics each time. Thin, with a bloated stomach, it freezes and catches colds every time the weather changes, teeth appeared late. She will recover in a few months by taking Calcarea carbonica.

Edward, 12 days old, head circumference 39.5 cm, has a fractured collarbone at birth, a bleeding navel, conjunctivitis from a narrowing of the left lacrimal canal (in reality, the canal is closed by calcium deposits). He gets better from Calcarea carbonica, which is given to his mother, who is breastfeeding him. (homeopathic medicines pass into mother's milk).

Calcarea carbonica, calcium carbonate, lime carbonate - CaCO3.

The first three dilutions are prepared by grinding from oyster shells. Introduced into homeopathy by Hahnemann.

Calcium carbonate taken orally has no toxic effects. In this regard, Calcarea carbonica, when used as a constitutional remedy, has a regulating effect on physiological aspects, where calcium plays a leading role. Namely:
1. under the influence of calcium, cell membranes become compacted (as opposed to sodium and potassium ions, which increase permeability).
2. In the presence of calcium, prothrombin transforms into thrombin, which is one of the main mechanisms of blood clotting.
3. Calcium ions are involved in the contraction of striated muscles, including the myocardium.
4. Calcium salts make up 50% of the bones of the skeleton, providing its supporting function.
5. Calcium, binding to the phosphoric acid residue, serves as a natural phosphorus depot in the body.

1. Epilepsy. The attack occurs during a full moon and is accompanied by screaming, loss of consciousness, and falling. Decrease in intelligence during the course of the disease.

2. Headaches of the most varied nature, most often localized in the frontal region on the right, occurring in the morning upon awakening, from physical and mental work, from drinking alcohol. Accompanied by an icy cold head, dizziness, especially when standing up.

3. Thyroiditis with decreased thyroid function. The gland is increased in size.

4. Tuberculosis with a predominant lesion of the upper lobe of the right lung.

5. Bronchitis, accompanied by a morning cough with copious purulent sputum, severe sweating of the head, icy cold feet. Mainly small bronchi are affected. Threat of chronicity.

6. Rhinitis is chronic, atrophic, accompanied by redness of the tip of the nose.

7. Gastritis with a feeling of fullness in the stomach, sour belching, nausea. Cramping pain in the abdomen.

8. Dyspepsia in newborns associated with milk intolerance. Vomiting of curdled milk. Diarrhea with sour-smelling discharge, greenish in color.

9. Cholecystitis, hepatitis.

10. Allergic skin diseases with a wide variety of rash morphologies. Weeping rashes with the formation of yellow crusts. Urticaria after drinking milk.

11. Eczema, accompanied by itching and burning.

12. Cataract.

13. Trigeminal neuralgia, pain in the right half of the face, begins in the chin area and radiates to the ear.

14. Enuresis.

15. Bladder polyps.

Calcarea carbonica includes two types of children.
The first type is plump, pasty children with a large head and a large belly, similar to an inverted pelvis. The upper lip is slightly upturned and the tip of the nose may be red.
In such children, the fontanelles do not heal for a long time, and teeth erupt late. Expressed night sweats head - the pillowcase becomes wet.
They usually suffer from allergic skin diseases, often catch colds, and have enlarged and hardened lymph nodes. The development of walking and speech lags behind the norm.
Children of the second group, in contrast to children of the first, are usually thin due to lack of nutrition or poor digestibility of foods, with thin skin and delicate blond hair.
They are predisposed to colds, rickets and tuberculosis. Children of Calcarea carbonica are whiny, fearful, do not perceive strangers well, are always close to their mother and immediately hide behind her hem in case of any danger.
Characterized by a craving for eating indigestible foods: chalk, lime, coal. Sweet tooth and eggs.
Milk intolerance. Calcarea carbonica is suitable for young, plump, gentle and very lazy girls with heavy and frequent menstruation. The slightest physical activity is poorly tolerated, shortness of breath and fatigue appear.
Mature people belonging to the Calcarea carbonica type are overweight, they are chilly, sweaty, and feel icy cold in their hands and feet. They do not tolerate drafts and cold well. There is a decrease in the function of the thyroid and gonads.

Worsening from cold, dampness, during the full moon, from physical and mental stress.
Better in warm, dry weather, lying on the affected side. The predominant side is right.

An amazing direction in medicine is homeopathy. An Inexplicable But Very Effective Method of Microdosing various substances has long proven itself to be the best. Homeopathy uses a variety of active ingredients, which by their nature can even be poisonous. But, as the golden rule of medicine says, any medicine in correct dosage brings benefit, but if incorrect, it promises irreparable harm.

One of the drugs used in homeopathy is Calcarea carbonica. By its chemical nature, this medicine is lime carbonate. To make this homeopathic remedy, calcium carbonate is extracted from oyster shells.

The resulting substance is not chemically pure, but this is the peculiarity of the product. It was with this drug that the great homeopath Hahnemann conducted tests. The first three dilutions of this compound, insoluble in water or alcohol, are used in the form of rubbing. Hahnemann's famous work “Treatment of Chronic Diseases” describes in detail the pathogenesis and treatment using the preparation of carbonated lime.

As you know, Calcarea carbonica and Calcium carbonicum are the same substance. It is absolutely non-toxic to the human body. While studying the influence of this compound, Hahnemann used minimal dosages, which he used for quite a long time. These studies provided valuable experience for homeopaths. Now many homeopathic doctors believe this remedy one of the most important polychrests. In other words, “Calcarea carbonica” has a comprehensive effect on the human body. The combination of effectiveness and safety makes this drug indispensable for symptomatic use in children.

Calcarea has been popular with naturopathic therapists for quite some time. It was used in the form of eggshells or chalk.
Fourier's research inspired doctors to massively treat tuberculosis patients with lime salts, but the methods of application were not correct, and the results were quite disastrous. In more detailed studies of this compound, Hahnemann derived ideal formulas for the dilution of calcium carbonate. His works are still of great interest to people who are interested in homeopathy, and the drug “Calcarea carbonica” itself is considered by many to be effective and safe.

A description of people who belong to this type is given by Guernsey in his writings. Typical child Calcarea carbonica is plump, loose, with a large head out of proportion to the body. His fontanelles take a very long time to heal. Sweating is quite pronounced, especially on the head. The skin of the face has a pale tint, its features are quite large, the upper lip is larger than the lower. In such children, the eruption of primary teeth is delayed, and the edges of the incisors are jagged. Their feet are cold and wet. Children of this type are prone to allergic reactions, such as urticaria, eczema of the scalp. They often suffer from colds, ear infections, and sinusitis. At the same time, axillary and cervical lymph nodes become inflamed, the wings of the nose become covered with ulcers. A characteristic feature of such children is a large and rounded belly, which is compared to an overturned pelvis. Patients of this type are developmentally delayed and later begin to speak and take their first steps.

Another type of Calcarea carbonica is also characterized by a tendency to inflammation of the glands. Such children also lag behind physically and intellectual development from healthy peers. They have thin and delicate skin, long eyelashes and straight hair. Homeopathy believes that calcium carbonicum is indicated for these patients in order to prevent tuberculosis.

The Calcarea carbonica type suffers from metabolic disorders. The result is either exhaustion or obesity. Growing up, such children acquire tachycardia, shortness of breath, headaches, and anemia.

Homeopathy describes the temperament and character traits of the Calcarea carbonica type as follows: increased anxiety, constant fears for one’s own health, sensitivity, agreeableness, laziness, fatigue. It is quite difficult for such people to engage in intellectual activity, as it is difficult for them to concentrate and concentrate. They get tired quickly and sweat appears on their forehead.

In the description of the Calcarea carbonica type, homeopathy indicates the dependence of their well-being on weather conditions. Their condition worsens in damp weather and during the full moon. As humidity decreases, your health improves.

The predominant part of the body of people of the Calcarea carbonica type is the right. It was noted that nosebleeds, migraines, and tuberculosis are characteristic of this part of the body and head.

Representatives of the Calcarea carbonica type are fairly easy to recognize by the following characteristics:

• feeling of coldness in the limbs and head;
• chilliness and fear of drafts;
• excessive fatigue after light physical activity;
• increased acidity of gastric juice;
• children have poor perception of milk and allergic manifestations to it (lactase deficiency);
• hot flashes to the face and head;
• excessive sweating of the head;
• aversion to meat and fried foods, craving for sweets and eggs;
• strange taste desires: craving for chalk, coal, etc.;
• profuse menstruation and leucorrhoea.

The homeopathic remedy "Calcarea carbonica", the use of which is quite wide, can be produced in the following dosage forms:

• granules C6, C12, C30 and higher;
• drops C3, C6, C12, C30 and higher;
• powder (trituration) C3.

An experienced homeopathic doctor can advise which form is best to choose after an appropriate examination.
The composition of this preparation is the white inner part of the broken shells of the oyster Ostria Edulis L., prepared and processed in a special way. This organism belongs to the class of bivalves - Bivalvia. Thus, we can conclude that this homeopathic remedy has a completely natural composition. Many patients who use Calcarea carbonica are very pleased with the result and note that among its advantages it is absolutely natural.

This drug is very important for assimilation disorders. As a result of this process, pathological phenomena develop in the body.

The homeopathic remedy "Calcarea carbonica" has the following indications:

• diseases of joints and bones;
• rickets in children;
• inflammatory respiratory diseases;
• gout;
• metabolic imbalance with pronounced inability to absorb calcium salts;
• eye diseases (conjunctivitis, keratitis);
• gallstones;
• frequent colds;
• increased nervous excitability;
• epilepsy;
• dizziness;
• hypochondria.

The only industry that advises the use of the drug "Calcarea carbonica" is homeopathy.

The indications for treatment with lime carbonate are quite extensive, but initially this substance has proven itself well in the treatment of children with scrofula. This term previously referred to a skin disease called exudative diathesis or scrofulosis. The homeopathic remedy showed good efficiency both at the first stage and in the second period of the disease. Initially, the disease begins with enlarged and painful lymph nodes, weeping eczema, chronic runny nose, blepharitis and leucorrhoea. As the disease progresses, swelling and pain occur in the cervical spine. Many patients with diseases at both described stages note a decrease in the symptoms of the disease when treated with the drug "Calcarea carbonica".

In the treatment of diseases of the respiratory system, the homeopathic drug "Calcarea carbonica", reviews of which are positive, has shown good effectiveness. Its use in anti-tuberculosis therapy has a specific effect. The drug is active in the upper and middle lobes of the right lung. It is also worth noting the fact that this medicine enhances the effect of other anti-tuberculosis drugs.

There are cases of joint use of Calcarea carbonica, Arsenicum iodatum and Calcarea phosphorica. This combination of drugs was used by the Belgian doctor Marini in the treatment of chronic and uncomplicated forms of tuberculosis. The results were obvious.

"Calcarea carbonica" has proven itself well in the treatment of diffuse bronchitis. It helps stop the progression of the disease and its transition to a chronic form. This homeopathic medicine has many positive reviews from patients suffering from bronchial asthma. It reduces the frequency of attacks and alleviates the condition of patients.

In infants, the following picture is quite often observed: regurgitation, stool with undigested food (lumps of curdled milk) with a greenish tint, increased gas formation and intestinal colic. All these symptoms are painful for the baby, he becomes capricious and does not gain weight well. The treatment of such cases is especially difficult due to the young age of the patients, which is the main point in contraindications to medicinal products. It is for such cases that homeopathy recommends the use of the drug "Calcarea carbonica". Indications for the use of this drug include signs of a child’s lack of normal digestion due to underdevelopment of enzyme systems, which is typical for infants.

Doctors describe the immeasurable benefits of calcium carbonate in the treatment of children of the poorest segment of the population who received the drug in homeopathic medical institutions. Children with obvious signs of malnutrition clearly improved their health indicators over a two-week period of treatment with this drug. Since "Calcarea carbonica" has the property of profoundly changing the processes of assimilation in the human body, it is able to cope with cholelithiasis.

Many patients like the fact that this homeopathic remedy is acceptable for use in infants. The combination of its effectiveness and harmlessness makes the drug indispensable in pediatrics.

This homeopathic drug has proven its best in the treatment of diseases of the nervous system, in particular epilepsy. This disease is characterized by dizziness, loss of consciousness, unconsciousness, decreased quality of memory and intellectual abilities. It is noted that attacks most often occur at night and become more severe during the full moon. Taking Calcarea carbonica reduces the frequency and aggressiveness of epilepsy attacks.

This homeopathic medicine is also indicated for people with hypochondria. This condition is characterized by increased anxiety and concern for one’s health, particular lethargy, fatigue, and decreased intellectual abilities. The patient feels an unreasonable loss of strength, and this is an indication for prescribing Calcarea carbonica.

This homeopathic medicine also helps with headaches of various types. They may be accompanied by nausea, belching, a feeling of chills and coldness in the right side of the head. Pain impulses, as a rule, begin in the morning after waking up at night. They become stronger with mental and physical stress after consumption alcoholic drinks. "Calcarea carbonica" effectively helps with chronic neuralgia trigeminal nerve, which is characterized by movement pain from the right side of the chin to the ear. The vast majority of patients note a decrease in discomfort and an improvement in quality of life after the first weeks of treatment with the drug.

Only a homeopathic doctor can prescribe the remedy "Calcarea carbonica". After the examination, the patient, depending on his diagnosis, age and other specific features, the form of administration of the drug and its dilution are prescribed. It is simply impossible to choose the dosage on your own. Usually "Calcarea carbonica" is prescribed no higher than the 12th and 30th dilution. The duration of treatment is also highly individual. Apply 4-6-12-30 divisions of the product in a course of 4 or 6 weeks. With this regimen of drug use, many patients with various pathologies note a significant improvement in their condition.
