No doubt, Calcarea Sulph is well known for the treatment of epilepsy🩺 EpilepsyClinical Disease Treatment Profile: Read homeopathic remedies, dietary recommendations, and natural therapeutic options. ,
but Calcarea Ars is also an impor tant remedy. It comes next to
Calcarea Sulph. About Ca lcarea Ars, Dr. Kent is of the opinion that it
can cure epilepsyNeurological disorder causing seizuresA neurological disorder marked by sudden recurrent episodes of sensory disturbance, loss of consciousness, or convulsions. completely. In my opinion, every kind of epilepsy
is not curable. Epilepsy which is se condary to the structural deformity
of the head needs to be treated surgically.
In Calcarea Ars, there is a tendency towards twitching of the
muscles , as well as paralytic weakne ss. In fact, calcium causes
profound weakness even if slightly imbalanced in the body. The
blood pressure is also affected and sometimes the patient can
suddenly collapse. These kinds of symptoms are very common in
cattle. Due to calcium imbala nce in their body, they collapse
suddenly. Usually the day-to-day weakness of the patient is not related to the imbalance of Cal carea, but the sudden weakening may
very well be due to the hyperacidity in the stomach. The condition is scary and frightful but not fatal. Sometimes these patients may become unconscious, but it is not epilepsy per se. The fits of
weakness and unconsciousness due to epilepsy are for life. But
sudden episodes of unconsciousness are not necessarily due to epilepsy. The epilepsy secondary to congenita l abnormality can adversely affect
the rational thinking of a person. The patient’s forehead reflects his
mental abnormality i.e. he is mentally not at par.🌿 Par.Materia Medica Clinical Profile: Click to explore Boericke keynotes, symptoms, modalities, and dosage guidelines. His eyes express an
idiotic look or, if the patient happens to be oversensitive, he keeps on
pondering over trivial things. He is incapable of thinking wisely and
seriously. Some opponents of Islam viciously criticise the Holy🌿 HolyMateria Medica Clinical Profile: Click to explore Boericke keynotes, symptoms, modalities, and dosage guidelines. Prophet
sa of
Islam and other Prophets, peace be on them all, saying that they did not receive any revelation from G od but that they suffered from
epilepsy. When the great achie vements of Prophets are pondered
upon, there remains no room for raising any such absurd objections at all.🌿 All.Materia Medica Clinical Profile: Click to explore Boericke keynotes, symptoms, modalities, and dosage guidelines. Even under very heavy pressu re, the Prophets did not suffer from
any kind of serious ailments. Whereas, when somebody is under that much pressure, epilepsy must ensue. It is said about the great Roman
monarch Caesar, that when he used to address his pe ople under great

Calcarea Ars 166 mental pressure, he used to faint and fall unconscious. In contrast, the
Holy Prophet of Islam, peace and bl essings of Allah be upon him, was
ever so ready and alert, rather much more so in the face of dangerous
situations. The rocky hillock of Uh ad and the battlefield of Hunain
are evidence enough to make these wretched opponents feel ashamed.
The thought of the dozing and slumber which is present at the time of
revelation from God, is no way clos e to an epileptic seizure.

Mental overload and acidity of the stomach can sometimes create a
state of extreme physical weakness , so much so that the person may
not be able to even move his finger. I have gone through this situation
myself and felt during the physical exha ustion that I used to have, as if
I was about to die. For many days I could not even get out of bed. This condition is temporary. When the acidity of the stomach is
properly treated, the condition of this kind of serious weakness will
leave forever. The weakness that is observed in Ca lcarea Ars is not necessarily a
sign of epilepsy. Arsenic is a part of the compound of Calcarea Ars.🌿 Ars.Materia Medica Clinical Profile: Click to explore Boericke keynotes, symptoms, modalities, and dosage guidelines.
It has the tendency to produce an excessive amount of acid in the
stomach . However, for the treatment of this kind of weakness, Nux
Vomica is a better remedy than Ar senic. Calcarea Ars is different
from Nux Vomica and other medicines. In Calcarea Ars patients, the
paralytic tendency is a permanent feature while mere hyperacidity of the stomach does not cause paralysisLoss of voluntary muscle functionThe loss of the ability to move (and sometimes to feel anything) in part or most of the body.. In Calcarea Ars, the hands start
to shake and the entire body trembles before the onset of paralysis. In medical terms, the word aura is used by doctors to describe the
sensation of twinkling or tingling be fore the onset of epilepsy. In
some patients, the aura starts at the stomach, while in others it starts at the heart. For example, the heart has a sinking feeling with a sensation of fright. In Calcarea Ars, th e aura always starts at the heart.
So if the patient notices somethi ng strange happening over the heart
and the fit is like that of epilepsy, Calcarea Ars has the capability to completely cure this condition. Anot her sign of Calcarea Ars is that
before the epileptic fit, the voi ce subsides and the person cannot
speak. Calcarea Ars is useful in the treatment of shortness of breath while
going up the stairs . Its diseases tend to affect the left side of the
body. In Calcarea Ars and in Sta physagria, neurolog ical diseases

Calcarea Ars 167 develop as a result of anger, disl ike and displeasure. The patient
imagines ghosts and suffers from other kinds of hallucinations and delusions. Sometimes its patient sees fire in the dreams. This also happens in Natrum Mur, in which the patient sees fire and snakes in
his dreams . If along with these symptoms, permanent insanity seems
to be developing, Calcarea Ars w ould prove to be a good remedy for
such insanity. Calcarea Ars is also useful for the treatment of vertigoSensation of dizziness or spinningA feeling of movement or spinning of oneself or the surroundings when there is no actual movement., imbalance and convulsions secondary to the exce ssive rush of blood towards the
head. Calcarea Ars can be of use in old and chronic types of headache . It is worth a try if everythi ng else has failed to relieve the
headache. The headache in Calcar ea Ars is just the reverse of the
headache in Cimicifuga🌿 CimicifugaMateria Medica Clinical Profile: Click to explore Boericke keynotes, symptoms, modalities, and dosage guidelines.. In Cimici fuga, the pain becomes intense on
lying on the affected side. In fact, local pressure on the affected side
may provoke twitching of the muscles. In Calcarea Ars, the person
will feel pain on the side opposite to the one he lies on. If he lies on
the right side, his headache would be on the left side , and vice-
versa. This is typical of Cal carea Ars. Any chronic headache
showing this kind of pattern will be most responsive to Calcarea Ars.
Other than this, there is no other specific sign of the headache in Calcarea Ars.

Eczema develops on the skin of the face and the scalp . The
kidneys hurt, the pain being the result of inflammation rather than of a
stone in the kidneys. In Calcarea Ar s, the leucorrhoeal discharge is
yellowish and is corrosive like ac id. Sometimes, this type of
leucorrhoea can also cause psychiatric complications. In the
treatment of this kind of leucorrhoea, Kali P hos and Arsenic are also
useful remedies. In fact, these are the true antidotes for foul smelling
discharge resulting from internal inflammation. Calcarea Ars is very useful in the treatment of the constant oozing of the blood-mixed, acidic, foul -smelling discharge due to cancer of the
uterus .

Calcium Carbonate is a basic component of milk. In the development
of bones, sclera and some other pa rts of the body Calcaria Carb is
needed. In milk, a wholesome food , Calcium plays a very important
role. The Imbalance of Calcium in the body results in various diseases, especially those of the bone s. Calcaria Carb has its role on
the glands, skin and the bones. The Calcarea Carbonica patient is very
sensitive to cold. The feet sometim es feel very cold and sometimes
hot. The chest feels tied up. The cough is dry at night but usually
phlegmatic during the day . The sputum is yellowish, smelly and
difficult to expel. In children, the cough that develops during teething
and does not subside easily often responds to Calcarea Carb. The
patients of Calcarea Carbonica constitution have listless faces. The skin is oily and yellowish. Sometimes they feel exhausted while talking and also suffer from lack of blood. Mental exercise further
weakens them. They sweat profusel y and may experience difficulty in
breathing. They dislike cold and hu midity. They hate the fresh air
and chill. On being wet, like Rhus Tox, their ailments appear
suddenly. Calcarea Carb has a significant effect on anaemia . This anaemia is
due to lack of the intrinsic factor from the lining of the stomach, as a
result of which vitamin B12 cannot be absorbed. Vitamin B12 alone
cannot cure this kind of anaemia, although it n eeds to be constantly
administered to prevent against the associated bad effects. Vitamin
B12 cannot be absorbed in the stomach so it needs to be given by injection for life. In such patients, if Calcarea Carb is given in homoeopathic potency, this obviates the necessity for supplementation
with vitamin B12, and the body itself starts making blood. In Calcarea Carb, the muscles feel flaccid . The disarrayed body
associated with flail muscles and obesity will benefit from Calcarea
Carb if given over a period of time. Calcium deficiency in the body can be treated by homoeopathic pote ncies of Calcarea Carb. In
Calcarea Carb patients, sometimes on standing up suddenly, their leg
muscles cannot bear the weight of the body and they fall down. In the
case of low blood pressure also, it is difficult for a person to stand up
suddenly. Calcarea Carb is useful for the treatment of weak muscles

Calcarea Carb 170 due to lack of calcium. The prof oundly active constitutional remedies
which are necessary for the physica l development of human beings,
when given with suitable intervals on a long term basis, will effectively treat these ailments resul ting in the cure of the patient as a
whole. Undoubtedly it is time-consuming. It must be remembered that if Sulphur needs to be given after Calcarea Carb, Lycopodium should be institu ted first, and then Sulphur.
Hidden diseases made manifest by the use of Sulphur, for example
piles, often respond to Nux Vomica. But Calcarea Carb is also useful in the treatment of piles . There are other homoeopathic remedies
resembling Calcarea Carb, such as Aesculus for the treatment of
bleeding piles and the infection thereof. Calcarea Carbonica is very valuable to prevent the tendency of
developing cancer if it matches the constitution of the patient,
otherwise it will not be of use. In some conditions, an incision needs
to be made, but Calcarea Carb obvia tes such a need. Calcarea Carb is
a very effective treatment of deep-seated abscesses , even better than
Silicea. The abscess either dissipa tes or produces only a small amount
of pus. The abscess disappears without much discomfort and
throbbing. It will be of timely use for such a condition. The patient of Calcarea Carb can be easily recognized. He is rather
obese and of yellowish complexion. The head is relatively big and
there is a tendency to sweat a lot. The body is sometimes cold and
sometimes hot. If all the systems of the body are slow, it becomes the general description of a Calcarea Carb patient. However, each and
every symptom does not have to be present to make the diagnosis.
Nor is there one unique symptom of Calcarea Carb. Some children
have a large head from birth; th is does not necessarily make them
Calcarea Carb patients, although some may be. Sometimes the symptoms of Calcarea Carb develop over the passage of time. The Calcarea Carb patient has his nose stuffed with dried mucus and
may have difficulty in breathing th rough the nose. With the use of
Calcarea Carb, this material become s easily expelled without the need
of any operation. Due to the im balance of Calcium, sometimes bones
develop spurs at their ends and bony prominences of Calcium
develop at the knee joints , which are very painful. Calcarea Carb can
cure this problem. Calcarea Carb is the right treatment for a child who,

Calcarea Carb 171 due to the weakness of the muscles, has delayed walking . If there is
delay in speaking , then Baryta Carb is the best remedy. Natrum Mur
will be useful when delays in both walking and speaking are present in a child. When there is a sodium imbalance in the body, it can adversely affect the mental faculties. The legs become weak and the patient becomes
rather wasted . The special feature of Na trum Mur is the wasting of
the legs as well as the upper part of the body. The tongue also is
affected. Consequently th e child starts walking and talking rather late.
In Calcarea Carb, the tongue is not aff ected and the child learns to talk
normally. However, he is late in learning to walk. Being short-
statured is also a symptom of Calcarea Carb. Physical weakness and
mental deficiency are symptoms of Baryta Carb. Calcarea Carb
gradually produces clear improvement of unsightly bending of the
bones if the patient is that of Calcarea Carb constitution.
The patient feels cold inside but sometimes his hands and feet may
feel burning. The symptoms aggrav ate before the onset of a storm
such as a dust-storm. An asthmaChronic respiratory disease causing difficulty breathingA condition characterized by spasms in the bronchi of the lungs, causing difficulty in breathing, typically from an allergic reaction or hypersensitivity. patient will start exhibiting signs of allergy to the dust many hours before the storm comes. Calcarea Carb
is one of the remedies indicated for such patients. The patient who gets mentally fatigued, and various parts of his body shows signs of
weakness will respond to Calcaria Carb. Calcarea Carb gives him
relief and his restlessne ss does not last long. When extremely
excited , a Calcarea Carb patient starts visualising pointed objects, and
the pictures and bodies will appear to be dancing. Similarly, he visualises inanimate objects, nails, wires, piercing and cutting instruments. Calcarea Carb is a su re shot remedy, with rare exception,
whenever these symptoms are present in children. Calcarea Carb is also indicated wh ena person feels ge nerally tired, is
chilly and experiences the burning of hands an d feet. The Calcarea
patient afflicted mentally keeps on pinching with his hands and has hallucinations about various faces be fore going to sleep but has no
fear of death. The skin peels off at the nails causing great
discomfort. This symptom is also present in Petroleum. The skin becomes dry as in dry eczema and recedes from the nails. In general, grief and dejection are more amenable to treatment with
Sodium compounds. These include Natrum Mur, Aurum Mur, and

Calcarea Carb 172 Gratiola. Ambra Gresea and Arnica may be useful in the treatment of
a patient who is very sad and become s indifferent towards his life. A
peculiar sign of Calcarea Carb, which does not exist in any other
remedy, is depression. For example, a little girl who should normally be playing around becomes sad and indifferent to everything. The
depression developing in the girls be fore puberty, needs to be attended
promptly or the patient may commit suicide . The patient is not
aggressive nor is there any evident cause of her sadness. The patient
cannot seriously think much. Rou tine normal worries can make the
patient feel mentally as well as physi cally fatigued. Calcarea Carb in
homoeopathic potency, given along with allopathic Calcium tablets, is
very good for the treatment of this kind of fatigue. The Calcarea Carb patient experiences scary dreams and is scared of
ghosts in the dark. In the dream he often finds himself hurt in an
accident or due to fire. Any form of headache may be present in a
Calcarea Carb patient. For distinction, its headache becomes worse with light and is worse during the day than at night. A Graphites
headache also aggravates with light because Calcarea Carb as well
as Graphites both contain an elemen t of carbon. It is also found in
Carbo Veg. Cold packs or cold sponging relieves th e headache.
When the head of a child starts growing bigger , the reaction of the
pupils becomes sluggish, and the ch ild screams at night; generally
surgical treatment is required. Yet the chances of cure are rare. The
child becomes semi-insane. Timely use of Calcarea Carb, and more
so of Silicea, will be needed. With these, the excessive fluid from the brain discharges by way of the eyes or sometimes the ears. Excessive leakage of water from the eye or the ear on one side will make the
pillow wet and the head on that side will start getting smaller in size.
After a few days similar effects will occur on the other side. In this
condition, called Hydrocephalus, I ha ve often treated many children
with Silicea and Calcarea Carb. Wh en the disease is far advanced
Calcarea Carb in high potency ma y be useful but not necessarily.
A white material may form on the cornea of the eye which then
gradually starts to flow. If the in fection is old, the discharge becomes
yellowish. In this condition, Cal carea Carb can also be used in
addition to other appropriate remedies. If the discharge from the ear is yellow, Calcarea Carb is more likel y to be the reme dy. The weakness
of the eardrums or slowly progressive deafness of the ears, need to be

Calcarea Carb 173 treated with Calcarea Carb. Some other remedies like Chenopodium
may also benefit. Calcarea Carb is of benefit for the weakness of the
eyes due to their being tired and the increased pressure in them.
However, Onosmodium is more effective than Calcarea Carb in tired eyes. Along with the tiredness of th e eyes there is constant headache
which is not very severe. A comb ination of Onosmodium along with
Gelsemium 200 will be ex traordinarily more effective. Sometimes the
change of weather brings in the sadness and lethargy . Due to some
change in the atmosphere, the body temporarily feels weak. Calcarea Carb, being of long acting type, is us eful in the treatment of prolonged
illnesses. In these illnesses the recovery is slow and the medicine has to be administered at in tervals over a long period.
Calcarea Carb patients have an intense desire to eat eggs . In
addition, the child would also eat certain indigestible things like clay
and paper . Many of these children ha ppen to suffer from chronic
indigestion. The patient feels heavin ess on the top of the head. With
the headache, the hands and feet become cold. Mental work
aggravates the headache. There is itching on the scalp, and the eyes
are very sensitive to light. Calcarea Carb is also us eful in the treatment of chronic constipation .
Silicea and Veratrum Album are also good remedies for constipation.
Generally, Veratrum Album is used for the treatment of severe
diarrhoea . In fact, it is very useful in the treatment of the obstinate
type of constipation, yet most homoe opaths do not use it for the this.
Silicea can relieve the chronic constipation of children. If ineffective, Veratrum Album must be used. If other signs and symptoms of
Calcarea Carb are present, certainly Calcarea Carb would be the most optimal treatment. Within a few days the abdomen becomes soft and
the constipation is gradually relieved. The effect of the medicine is
not immediate. Calcarea Carb is also used for the treatment of deep-seated diseases of men as well as women. It prevents the tendency towards prolapse of
the uterus . It corrects the menstrual dysfunctions and excessive
bleeding (menorrhagiaAbnormally heavy or prolonged menstrual bleedingMenstrual periods with abnormally heavy or prolonged bleeding.). It not onl y controls the bleeding but also
cures the enlarged glands. In ca se one cannot reach one particular
diagnosis, the following three thi ngs should be used to prevent
excessive bleeding during the mens trual period: Calcarea Carb,
Murex, and Sabina in potency 30. These should be continued for a

Calcarea Carb 174 few months. In the beginning thre e times a day and then once a day,
after it has started showing beneficial effects. Calcarea Carb is an effective remedy for the treatment of fibroids in
the uterus . Women of Calcarea constitution suffer constantly from
thick leucorrhoea . Calcarea Carb will be very valuable for the
treatment of such women who also have tendency to abort
repeatedly . I had prescribed this remedy to one such lady who
responded very well. In fact, she had already conceived before the
next menstrual cycle and did not mi scarry, though in the past she had
lost many pregnancies. For any a ppropriate treatment, it is very
important to exactly diagnose the cause of abortion. Ferrum Phos,
Calcarea Phos, and Kali Phos ar e well known for the treatment of
generalized weakness and lack of blood (anaemia) . They work very
well during pregnancy and prevent a bortion. The other useful remedy
for the treatment of abortion is Ca ulophyllum. If the patient has the
constitution of Calcarea Carb, then only Calcarea Carb should be
administered without any hesitation and without the possible need of
any other homoeopathic remedy.
Because Calcarea Carb has to be co ntinued over a long period of time
so it should be repeated at interval s instead of continuously. It should
be continued for six months after the patient has apparently been
cured. A cough which lingers on and is associated with blood in the
sputum is also the sign of Calcarea Carb. As in Kali Carb, the feet
become cold. If the generalised weakness advances too far, such a
patient will not be able to sit for long periods of time and tends to slip off the chair, and when a patient is in a moribund state and his head
constantly sags down from the pillow, the proper remedy is Muriatic
Acid which will work immediately. If it happens frequently, then Calcarea Carb is the better remedy. In Calcarea Carb the lower back
hurts . The back also feels weak and it is difficult to stand up after
sitting for some time.
