Calcium is a major mineral element of the body. It constitutes 1.5 to 2 % of the body weight of the adult
human. The adult body contains 850 to 1400 gm of calcium. About 99% of the calcium in the body is
found in the bones.
The amount in the blood is usually about 10 mg/ 100 ml. There is a dynamic equilibrium between the
calcium in the blood and that in the skeleton. This equilibrium is maintained by parathyroid gland and
chole- calciferol.
Coagulation of blood,
Regulation of neuromuscular irritability and
Muscular contractility.
All the salt of lime affects the nutrition of the body; hence they are of great use in infancy and childhood
when growth must be accomplished. They favor the development of bones, glands and other tissues.
No clear-cut disease due to calcium deficiency has ever been described even under condition of very low
intake. It has been established that if the intake of chole calciferol is adequate, the problems of rickets
and osteomalacia does not arise even with low calcium intake. On the other hand no deleterious effects
have been observed in man as a result of prolonged intake of large amounts of dietary calcium, neither
have any benefits been demonstrated.
Source
Milk and milk products are main source of calcium. Fish, vegetable, fruits, cereals (ragi rich in calcium)
and drinking water are other sources. (Green leafy vegetables are the cheapest natural source of
calcium but the bio availability of calcium is poor. Presence of oxalic acid, which forms an insoluble
substance with calcium, namely calcium oxalate, which make the complete absorption of impossible.
Availability of calcium from a good source like milk is adversely affected by the simultaneous
consumption of green leafy vegetable)
Calc iodata– used as a dusting powder and in lotion, in ointment as antiseptic and deodorant.
Calc sulph – Dried gypsum or plaster of paris used for making plaster splinter and other fixed dressing.
Calc hypophos –Has been used for ricket and impaired nutrition.
Calc chloride – Used to correct increase capillary permeability as in urticaria and dermatitis
herpetiformis, also in alkalosis and acidify the urine.
Calc carb – Antacid – in the management of peptic ulcer and other condition of gastric hyperacidity.
(Calc acetica – the first of the lime preparation proved by Hahnemann. Identical with those of Calc
carb, both being prepared from oyster shells)
Constitution
Fat children who are slow in movement, of irregular growth with enlarged and hard lymphatic glands
Calc ars: suited to lymphatic, scrofulous and tuberculous person. Fat women approaching climaxis. Fat
person (mentally depressed and anxious)
Calc brom: Suited to children who are of lax fiber, lymphatic, nervous and irritable. Fair haired and fat
children.
Calc carb: Leucophlegmatic constitution. Large head and large features with pale skin and chalky look
and in infants – open frontenelles. Scrofulous constitution- enlarged and hard lymphatic glands.
Tendency to obesity in youth.
(Calc phos—is an exception to the common fatty, flabby constitution of calcarea which is scrofulous
emaciated children who are slow in learning to walk, with sunken flabby abdomen)
Mentally they are sad, depressed and melancholic with great anxiety.
All most all calcarea group medicines have a general weakness, aggravation from motion or aversion to
motion, amelioration from lying down and ailments from either mental or physical exertion. All these
features contributing to indolent, sluggish nature of the calcarea.

pho, Calc sil.
Aggravation from physical exertion – Calc carb, Calc ars, Calc fl, Calc iod, Calc pho, Calc sil, Calc sulph.
