Homeopathic Remedies Using Calcarea Phosphorica (Calc Phos / Calc-p)

Formal Name: Calcarea Phosphorica / Calcium Phosphoricum

Also Known As Calc Phos, Calcium Phosphate, Phosphate of Lime

Introduction to Calcarea Phosphorica

Calcium phosphate plays a crucial role in cellular processes. It is essential for muscle contractions, blood clotting, and nerve signal transmission. Calcium is vital for our health, especially for bones and teeth. Within homeopathy, Calcarea Phosphorica, or Calc Phos, has been used for centuries to address bone and tooth problems. This remedy is prepared with great care to ensure its efficacy while adhering to homeopathic principles.

Aside from its homeopathic uses, calcium phosphate is widely used as a dietary supplement to support bone health and prevent osteoporosis. It is a key ingredient in many multivitamins and bone health supplements.

Historical Significance

Calcarea Phosphorica has a rich history in homeopathy and is used to treat various bone and tooth health conditions. Calcium phosphate, found naturally in substances like oyster shells, chalk, pearls, marble, limestone, and coral, has long been recognized for its medicinal properties.

Preparation of Calcarea Phosphorica

Calc Phos is prepared using white calcium phosphate precipitate. The process involves filtering, diluting, drying, and triturating the precipitate with lactose sugar. The final product contains no traces of the original mineral but retains its therapeutic properties, making it a powerful homeopathic remedy.
