## Keynote Indications
Calcarea Iodide is especially relate d to the glands.  The glands swell
up as in the case of many other re medies.  Calcarea Iodide should
never be forgotten in the treatment of puberty goitre  in young girls.
It is especially useful during the age of puberty and should be
administered to such girls without any delay.

In Calcarea Iodide, fibroids develop in the uterus .  The internal
lining of the nose and the ears become oedematous and make cyst-
like swellings called polyps .  With the formation of polyps in the
nose, the patient snores heavily.  Ca lcarea Iodide 30 proves to be very
useful in the treatment of this c ondition.  It should however be used
for two to three months because the glands, once enlarged, do not
immediately regress to their normal size.

In Calcarea Iodide, the ulcers tend to be chronic in nature, much more
so in Kali Iodide.  In Kali Iodide, the ulcers become indolent.

In Calcarea Iodide, there is a tendency for hair to fall out .
Unfortunately, there is no one standard treatment for hair loss.

It must be remembered that Sulphur is not given after Calcarea Iodide.
This can be harmful.  However, Su lphur Iodide give n after Calcarea
Iodide works very well and there is no need for giving any other
remedy in the intervening period.  The common routine is to give
Lycopodium after Calcarea Carb, th en Sulphur, and then Calcarea
Carb again.  However, Calcarea I odide can be safely and directly
followed by Sulphur Iodide treatm ent.  Although Calcarea Iodide
makes the patient feel somewhat better, it cannot cure the patient and
that is why Sulphur Iodide should be used instead.

Potency: 30 or higher as needed
