calcarea carb as children's remedy

Constitution and Temperament of Calcarea Carbonicum Children.


Generally Calc.Carb children are pot bellied, fat, obese, dwarf, slow in learning. Bones are not straight but slightly curved and bending especially long bones. Fontanells open and remain open for a long time, slow to cover up fontanells. They catch cold easily. The cold persists. Even well selected remedy fails to cure cold permanently unless it is assisted by constitutional remedy like Calc.carb.

Characteristically such children are late in learning and low spirited. When ever they are scolded in house by parent they sobb (not a loud cry) unconsolably Even in school if they are threatened or mildly punished they come home sobbing . Niether the teacher nor the parent know the reason. They think the child is timid.

Commonly small babies suffer from frequent catarrh and coryza. Some times with frequent loose motion. Stool is yellow slimy curdled and some times frothy. It may be during teething or during emergence of molar teeth, or may be due to severe cold when the phlem comes out through the stool because they can not spit out phlem or cough. Generally in Unani system of medicine our learned Hakims (Not modern unani doctors) had the practice of administering calcium to such babies by using a pinch of chewing lime(commonly used in bettle pan or beeda ) in their renowned traditional decoction called ghotti. This was of course the practice of dadi ma remedy for children in olden days when ever the babies were afflicted with seasonal cold or teething diarrhea .
Ca++ is the constituent of bone, teeth blood and body tissues. Generally children suffering from Ca++ deficiency disorders have the tendency of chewing soil or chalk piece in schools or out side their home, not because it tastes good or because of any bad habit but because of their inner urge provoked by this deficiency to compensate Ca++ requirement in their body but unfortunately body can not assimilate such crude intake of calcium. This can be fulfilled only in micro dose, as the homoeopathy prescribes.
