Details
Calc phos has traditionally been used for symptoms associated with teething, poor appetite, leg cramps, stomach cramps in babies and headaches in adolescents. These kids can be whiny and discontented and often crave salty foods. They may be tired, thin, glandular and growing. Traditionally calcium phosphate was used in tonics and believed to improve the absorption of nutrients and have a tonic effect at times of rapid growth.
Calc Phos is essential to growth and nutrition in the body. It is a tissue salt that is found in the blood, saliva, gastric juices, bones, connective tissue, teeth etc. It gives solidity to bones and has an affinity for albumin and therefore is used where we find whitish discharges. It is nutritious for the periosteum of the bones where red blood cells are formed. It is indicated in all bone afflictions and glandular systems. Calc phos promotes ossification of bones in fractures and broken bones. It may have restorative powers after acute disease either directly or by preparing the way for other remedies, so making it an important intercurrent remedy.
