Characteristics

*Calc-s. is closely related to *Hepar *sulph. *Calcarea, which is an impure sulphide of calcium, but has a wider sphere and deeper action in suppurative processes. It is Schussler’s “Connective- tissue salt, ” and most of the indications for its use are derived from his clinical experience. In the last edition of his *Biochemic Therapy Schussler discards *Calc-s. because it is not an actual constituent of the tissues, and he distributes its functions between *Silica and *Nat-p. Homoeopaths, having no Biochemic theory to support, may continue its use without scruple, especially as it has been proved by Hering and others. It is indicated in all kinds of cases *after pus has found a vent. Nash has cured a case of suppurating kidney with it. It differs from *Hepar in sensitiveness to air: *Hepar cannot bear the slightest exposure, *Calc-s. has better in open air, better walking in it, desire for it. Both have worse from change of weather. *Calc-s. has not the excessive sensitiveness to touch found in *Hepar. Hansen recommends it in dry eczema in children. Cystic tumors, fibromata and polypi have been cured with *Calc-s.
