Calcium Phosphate (Calc Phos)

Practitioners of biochemical therapy believe that these salts work at a cellular level to correct imbalances. Within this framework, Calc Phos is called the Cell Mineral. Therefore, Calc Phos is primarily used as a foundational cell builder to support bone development, nutrient absorption, and physical recovery after illness or exhaustion.

Calcium Phosphate (Calc Phos) is traditionally associated with bones and teeth, and also digestion, assimilation of nutrients, poor appetite, as well as a tendency towards frequent colds.

It is noted in traditional tissue salt literature that Calcium Phosphate makes up around 70% of bone and as much as 90% of tooth enamel. It is described as chemically uniting with protein to build bone tissue, and also as playing a part in forming structure where growth and repair are needed.

Calc Phos is often referred to as a restorative, and traditionally considered where there is a need to build up a more sturdy, robust constitution, as well as during periods of convalescence.

Traditional uses for Calc Phos include:

Bones and teeth

Formation of bone and tooth structure is a key area, and also where growth and development may be slower than expected, particularly in children. In traditional use, it is considered in cases such as rickets, and also where growth appears delayed.

Digestion and assimilation

Where there may be insufficient digestive juices, Calc Phos is traditionally brought into consideration. This insufficiency is described as affecting both digestion and assimilation, and may lead to fermentation and gassiness.

Inflammatory conditions

In traditional literature, inflammatory conditions linked with imbalances of acidity (such as rheumatism) are associated with Calc Phos. A combination of albumen (protein) and excess acidity deposited in the joints is described as leading to inflammation, stiffness and pain.

Anaemia

Calc Phos is traditionally used where there are low levels of red blood cells or haemoglobin in the blood. A numbness and coldness of the limbs may also be noted alongside this.

Weakened muscles and tissues

Where there is muscle weakness, and also cramps or fatigue, Calc Phos is traditionally used to help restore tone to weakened tissue.

Alongside other remedies

It is also traditionally used alongside other remedies, both to enhance their effects and also to speed up results. Calc Phos is described as helping improve the absorption and utilisation of nutrients, and so may be considered where digestive function or nutritional deficiencies are a concern.

Nervous system support

A calming influence on the nervous system is described in traditional use, and also where there is nervous exhaustion or irritability.

Traditional signs associated with deficiency

A deficiency of Calc Phos is traditionally linked with a number of patterns affecting digestion, elimination, as well as general vitality.

Where digestive juices are insufficient, digestion and assimilation may be impaired, leading to fermentation and gassiness. The lymphatic system may also be challenged, and this may present as swollen glands, and also elimination through the skin, like boils, pimples, or eczema.

Kidney health

In traditional literature, excess protein may be released from the kidneys, which may in turn be associated with kidney disease.

Food sources traditionally associated with Calc Phos

Cabbage, pumpkin, onions, lemons, and also sesame seeds, spinach, broccoli, as well as whole grains.
