Calcarea Sulph 187
Or
Calcarea Sulphate
(Sulphate of Lime - Plaster of Paris)
The element of Sulphur is a comm on factor of Calcarea Sulph and
Carbonium Sulph and so the symptoms of Sulphur are present in both.
But the presence of carbon in one and Calcarea in the other make
special characteristic of Calcarea Sulph is the tendency to form deep
abscesses. In this way, it resembles Sulphur as well as Calcarea Carb,
and to some extent Pyrogenium. Pyrogenium is of use when the
infection in the abscesses has already poisoned the blood (toxaemia).
Putrefaction is also found in the deep abscesses associated with
Silicea, but it usually does not affect the blood. If it happens at all, it
is of very severe magnitude. Th e widespread pyaemic abscesses in
the body resulting from toxaemia / septicaemia respond very well to
Calcarea Sulph in addition to Pyro genium. Similarly, it is deeply
related to chronic sores that have the tendency to transform into
cancer, and also controls sores to some extent. It is also useful in the
treatment of the ulcers and fistulae developing when the cancers
surface on the skin.

certain allopathic medicines. In such children, in addition to the
said to be the one that can comple tely cure epilepsy. Dr. Kent, who
was previously an eminent allopath ic physician as well as a surgeon
and understood the physiology of the human body, is of the opinion
that Calcarea Sulph can totally uproot the epilepsy. Sometimes, the
epilepsy is due to a tumour in the brain or it can be due to the effect of
a physical injury to the brain. Sometimes it is due to the abnormal

development of the skull, evident on observing the patient. In such a
patient who has a permanent developm ental defect of the skull, the
cure for the epilepsy is apparently impossible. The statement of Dr.
Kent does not hold well about the treat ment of this kind of epilepsy
with Calcarea Sulph. However, we can definitely say that Calcarea
Sulph has significantly benefited many epileptic patients.
some serious illnesses of infanc y, cholera and dysentery being the
severe kind of dysentery is treated forcibly with some allopathic
medicine, there is always the dange r that the child may subsequently
develop epilepsy. I often treat such patients with Cuprum. In
addition, I have also given them Artemisia in Mother Tincture form.
Both of these do temporarily benefit, but I have not observed complete
have tried them in very high pot ency and found that the intervals
between the epileptic fits prolong ed, but complete cure was not
the complete cure of epilepsy. According to Dr. Kent, Calcarea Sulph
has this capability.
I have observed complete cure of epilepsy only in the condition of
recurrence of that particular i llness, the suppression of which had
resulted in the development of epilep sy in the first place. When that
particular illness relapses, it can be treated with other kinds of
and Mag Phos for the treatment of abdominal pain and colic.
However, antibiotics and strong medi cations that suppress the illness
must be avoided.
Regarding the treatment of epilepsy, one should study the prodormal
signs (Aura), as already mentioned in reference to Calcarea Ars. In
Generally it is considered to treat with Belladonna however, is not
proper. Belladonna only helps partia lly, for a short time. In some
other homoeopathic medicines als o, there is a tendency of blood
rushing towards the brain such as in Hydrocyanic Acid. Hydrocyanic

number of strong allopathic medi cines have been discovered to
control epileptic fits. They keep the patient drowsy to a great extent,
allopathy, the traditional Chinese sy stem of medicine may also be
tried.
