## Keynote Indications
Calcarea Phos is a compound of ca lcium and phosphorus, and thus a
very profoundly effective remedy.  It  has been commonly used in the
biochemic system of medicines, although it needs to be used with
extreme care.  Calcarea Phos is described to be the friendliest
treatment of women.  Many of its symptoms happen to be the
common symptoms of day-to-day di seases of women.  Calcarea Phos
must always be kept in mind.  With the onset of puberty, young girls
are subject to a variety of problems, such as painful periods, scanty
bleeding or menstrual bleeding of va riable duration.  Once the periods
become irregular on exposure to the cold at an early age, the problem
may become a lifelong one.  This can only be treated with the use of
Calcarea Phos.

It is extremely difficult to diagnose the cause of menstrual
irregularities on the basis of acute symptoms alone, without an in-
depth study of the background of the di sease.  If an adult female is
found to have similar irregularities, one usually forgets about her
previous history i.e. puberty.  Howeve r, it is necessary that the history
should be dated back to early adu lthood, since it is important to know
when the trouble started and how it started.  If the menstrual
irregularity started on exposure to the cold  during the periods, then
Calcarea Phos should be used im mediately.  By God’s grace, the
patient becomes cured forever with its use.  One symptom is common
to Calcarea Phos and Cimicifuga: the patient feels a lot of discomfort,
pain and cramping in the area of the uterus.  The main difference is
that in the patient of Cimicifuga, the symptoms become worse as the
bleeding starts to flow more freely.   In a patient of Calcarea Phos,
severe cramps and severe discomfo rt precede the onset of the
bleeding.  Once the bleeding commences, these symptoms disappear.
This symptom is the distinctive feature of Calcarea Phos.

Generally, Magnesium Phos is considered to be the best treatment
for spasms and cramps .  It is not only useful in the treatment of
cramps of the uterus, but also cram ps elsewhere in the body.  If the
spasms become better with the app lication of heat, then one should
give Magnesium Phos.  However, if  the pain eases with cold, then
Belladonna, Apis, Secale and Pulsatilla  will be more useful.  In the
spasmodic pain associated with Calcarea Phos, heat offers relief.

Calcarea Phos is the best remedy for the treatment of spasmodic
pain and cramps over the sexual organs in women.  If sexual desire
becomes heightened due to some diseases, not of the natural kind,
then besides Calcarea Phos, Platinum  Gratiola and Origanum can also
be useful.  Calcarea Phos is a must if the patient’s uterus starts to
prolapse at the time of urination .  In Calcarea Phos, the menstrual
blood consists of dark blood clot s, while in Calcarea Carb and
Phosphorus, the colour of the blood is red.

If the periods begin before time , the blood is bright  red and if the
periods are delayed, then the col our of the blood becomes black.
Sometimes, the colour of the blood is red first and then turns dark.  In
Calcarea Phos, the leucorrhoeal discharge is like the white of an
egg.  Symptoms become worse in the morning.  The milk of the
lactating women tastes salty and the child refuses to suck.

A Calcarea Phos patient cries out with pain spontaneously.  The chest
hurts.  The cough is suffocating in nature.  The patient feels better on
lying down.  The voice becomes hoarse.  The patient feels pain in the
lower part of the left lung.  On exposure to open air or cold, the
patient develops rheumatism.  The back and the neck become stiff.
The head feels heavy.  The limbs become numb.  The symptoms
become worse from the cold and change of weather.  The patient
becomes easily tired on going up the stairs.  The pains start two hours
after eating food.  The symptoms a ggravate after eating or drinking
something.  The symptoms subside with heat and in dry weather.

The memory becomes affected  as a result of sudden shock.  The
patient likes to move away from the place so that the suffering may
become less.  In Calcarea Phos, the headache is very severe.  The
head feels warm and hurts deep down to the roots of the hair.  The
tonsils become swollen and cause  difficulty in opening the mouth
(trismus).  Calcarea Phos  is also useful in the treatment of teething
problems of children .  The teeth grow rath er slowly and tend to
decay.  Another symptom of Calcarea Phos present in children is that
they want to suck the milk all the time but they cannot retain it and
vomit it out.  They feel severe pain inside the abdomen, as well as
gripes.  Bleeding follows hard st ools.  The child develops diarrhoea
after drinking fruit juice, the stools being greenish in colour.  The

patient passes enormous amounts of  urine, causing weakness.  There
is pain over the kidney areas.  The back hurts when lifting weight.
