Calcium Fluoride (Calc Fluor)

Within the context of homeopathic tissue salts (biochemic remedies). Calcarea Fluorica, often abbreviated as Calc Fluor, is known as the tissue salt of elasticity and is used to restore tone and flexibility to tissues that have become either too relaxed or too hardened.

What is Calc Fluor traditionally associated with?

Calc Fluor (Calcarea Fluorica) is traditionally linked with the maintenance and strengthening of connective tissue throughout the body, such as tendons, ligaments, cartilage and elastin, and also structures that require both firmness and flexibility.

Rather than acting in isolation, it is described in traditional tissue salt literature as preserving the contractile power of elastic tissue, and also as combining with albumin in the formation of that very elasticity.

It is noted as being present within the walls of blood vessels, in muscular and connective tissue, along the surface of bones, and within the enamel of the teeth as well.

Traditional Calc Fluor uses:

Elasticity

Where tissues are required to stretch and return (like tendons and ligaments, and also veins) Calc Fluor is traditionally considered for its role in preserving contractile power. The uterus too is referenced here, particularly in relation to its elasticity during menstruation, throughout pregnancy, and in contraction following birth.

Bones and teeth

Support for bones and teeth is a central theme, especially where there may be a tendency towards brittleness. In traditional use, it is considered where dental decay is present, and also where gums bleed or teeth appear loose.

Health of the skin

Where elasticity of the skin appears diminished (being wrinkles, stretch marks, and also where the skin is cracked) Calc Fluor is traditionally brought into consideration.

Varicose veins

The elasticity of blood vessel walls is another area of therapeutic focus, and also where veins may appear enlarged or under strain.

Joints

Joint flexibility, and also recovery following sprains or strains, are traditionally associated with this tissue salt.

Muscle weakness

Used in traditional contexts where there is a sense of reduced muscle strength, and also where tone appears lacking.

Traditional signs associated with deficiency

‘Slumped Tissue’

Without adequate Calc Fluor, tissue is described as tending to ‘slump’, rather than holding its structure. This may present as prolapses (organs or uterus) as well as varicose veins, piles, and also blurred vision alongside sluggish circulation. Hernias and diverticula may be noted, and also incontinence, with nails appearing soft or cracked.

‘Hardened Tissue’

In contrast, and particularly where deficiency exists alongside impurities in body chemistry, tissue may instead become thickened or hardened. Cracking of the skin may occur, and also a cracked tongue or nipples. Subcutaneous palpebral cysts are noted in traditional texts, as well as bony overgrowths, and also circulatory hardening.

Other traditional indications include:

Other signs described include constipation and backache, damaged tendons, as well as muscle weakness. Bearing-down pains associated with muscular weakness may also be present, and also, as noted in traditional literature, difficulty in making decisions.

Food sources:

Cabbage, pumpkin, onions, lemons, sesame seeds, spinach, broccoli, whole grains.
