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
