SOURCE INFORMATION

Scientific Classification

• Kingdom: Minerals
• Class: Halides
• Formula: CaF₂ (Calcium Fluoride)

Origin: Calcarea Fluorica is a naturally occurring mineral found in surface bones, tooth enamel, elastic fibers, and cells of the epidermis.

Historical Facts

• Introduced as one of the twelve tissue remedies by Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich Schüssler.
• Homeopathic proving was conducted by Dr. J.B. Bell in 1874.

DRUG PATHOGENESIS

• Calcarea Fluorica acts on bones, enamel of teeth, skin, connective tissues, and blood vessels.
• It affects the lymph nodes, glands, and fibrous tissues, causing relaxation and dilation of elastic fibres.
• This leads to conditions such as hemorrhoidal tumours, varicose veins, vascular tumours, indurated glands, uterine displacements, and hard, knotty tumours on the surface of bones.

2. Breast Tumours: Powerful remedy for tumours in the female breast, especially when they are hard and knotty.
3. Osseous Growths and Bone Suppuration: Effective for osseous growths and suppuration of bones, particularly after Silicea and Calcarea Phosphorica have failed.
4. Lower Jaw Necrosis: Marked action on the lower jaw, producing necrosis and suppuration, including complications of wisdom teeth.
5. Periosteal Swelling: Treats periosteal swelling due to congenital hereditary syphilis.
6. Bone Caries and Necrosis: Addresses caries and necrosis of bones with boring pain and heat in affected parts, resulting from congenital syphilis.
7. Eye Conditions: Beneficial for immature cataracts and corneal opacity.
8. Lumbago: Effective for lumbago due to strain, with symptoms aggravated at rest and improved after movement and warmth.
9. Suppurative Discharges: Treats offensive, thick, greenish-yellow discharges from suppurative processes.

Financial Insecurity

• Fear of Poverty: The main concern is a deep fear of losing financial stability.
• They are anxious about their financial situation and fear potential business failures or unexpected losses.
• Money as Security: Money provides a sense of security, so they save as much as possible, take minimal risks, and often invest in insurance to mitigate potential financial risks.

Relationship Insecurity

• This leads them to seek independence and self-reliance.
• Self-Reliance: They strive to be independent and strong, often working hard to build a secure financial base.

Dreams and Fears

• Dreams of Relatives’ Deaths: A significant dream for them is the death of a relative, reflecting their fear of losing someone they depend on for security.
• Effort-Related Dreams: They often dream of making efforts, like missing a train, which symbolizes their constant struggle to maintain security.
• Example of Dependence: If the dream involves a relative who provides love and care rather than financial support, it may indicate a need for a different remedy (like a Magnesium salt).

Response to Failure

• Desperation and Depression: When they feel all their efforts to secure themselves fail, they become completely irresolute, vulnerable, and helpless.
• This can lead to mental depression and a sense of insolvency.
