Calcarea phosphorica is a necessary component for proper growth and nutrition of one’s body. It is found in blood plasma, bones, connective tissues and teeth.

Calcarea phosphorica supplies new blood cells and is therefore considered an excellent remedy for anemia. Furthermore, it gives solidity to bones; it is a good remedy for fracture healing and delayed teething. Healthy cellular activity, restoring tone to weakened organs and tissues are further properties of this tissue salt.

Main uses:

1) Periods of growth (pregnancy and lactation)

2) Unnatural growth and disturbances in osseous growth or development (disorders of bones and teeth)

3) Glandular dysfunction (poor glandular secretion, digestion, assimilation and nutrition; digestive flatulence due to ant-acid action)

4) Nervous irritability (insomnia, hyperactivity)

5) Neuromuscular disorders (cramping, twitches, convulsions, tetany)

6) Chronic infection of mucous membranes (respiratory tract, stomach, intestines, etc.)

7) Exudate (milky, white to whitish yellow, possibly albuminous)

Calcarea sulphurica acts as a blood purifier and is present in liver bile. It aids in removing waste products from the blood and has a cleansing and purifying influence throughout the system. It aids in cleansing accumulated non-functional organic material.

Calcarea sulphurica aids in cases of bleeding abscess, irritating yellowish discharge, burning feet with intense itchiness, bronchial or nasal catarrh with thick yellow mucus, prolonger suppuration and discharges.

Main uses:

1. Poor wound healing
2. Tendency to suppuration and exudation (ulceration, abscesses, boils with pus and bloody discharge)
3. Catarrhal exudation (Especially when yellow; inflammation of mucous membranes)

5. Skin scaling and desquamation (dandruff with alopecia; ache, eczema, psoriasis, superficial burns)
6. Exudate (thick, lumpy, yellow and purulent mucus that is blood streaked)

Ferrum phosphoricum is an oxygen carrier, that works to oxygenate all tissues of the body. This tissue salt is important in acute situations like congestion, inflammatory pain, high temperature, hemorrhagia and open wounds.

Kali phosphoricum acts rapidly at the cellular level as a nerve nutrient. It sharpens mental faculties, helps with weakness of memory and lack of concentration.

Kali phosphoricum is also used in anxiety, phobia, depression and lowered vitality. It is a strong tonic for the nervous system.

Main uses:

1. Growth and pregnancy
2. Neurological disorders (Weakness, lethargy, apathy, irritability, stress)
3. Abnormalities in cardiac muscle function

5. Exaggerated reflexes (restlessness, twitches and spasms)
6. Exudate (not common, but may be fetid and excoriating, thick, yellow, crusty)

Kali sulphuricum is an oxygen carrier and is used in situations where thick, yellowish, profuse secretions are present.

Kali sulphuricum can cure Conjunctivitis, otitis, croup, pneumonia, measles, scarlet fever and ulcers.

Main uses:

1. Profuse desquamation of skin and mucous membranes (Flaking of the scalp, eczema, psoriasis)
2. Excessive mucus (mucopurulent exudate, catarrhal deafness)
3. Low energy levels, desire for fresh air
4. Exudate (yellow-green, slimy, purulent and mucopurulent discharges from skin or mucous membranes)

Magnesia phosphorica is known as the anti-spasmodic tissue salt. Recommended for sharp, shooting pains.

Magnesia phosphorica is used in treating chronic arthritis, rheumatism, sciatica pain on the right side, and lung affections.

Main uses:

1. Low energy states (fatigue, depression, apathy, stupor)
