Calcarea

Calcarea carbonica is a remedy that is given more frequently in so-called constitutional prescribing than to treat acute conditions. In constitutional prescribing, the homeopathic practitioner selects a remedy to treat the patient’s complete symptomatology, based on a careful evaluation of his or her overall health. In homeopathy, the constitution includes a person’s heredity and life history as well as present lifestyle, environment, and medical history in the narrow sense. Constitutional treatment is based on the assumption that chronic or recurrent illnesses reflect a specific weakness or vulnerability in the patient’s total constitution. It is intended to stimulate healing at the deepest levels of the person’s emotions and psyche as well as physical characteristics.
