📜 Origin and Discovery

Calcarea Arsenica is a mineral salt remedy formed by combining Calcium (Calcarea) and Arsenicum. It represents the fusion of two major polychrest remedies in homeopathy, each with wide-ranging action:

Calcarea for bone, metabolism, and glandular issues
Arsenicum for restlessness, anxiety, malignancy, and ulceration

Together, Calcarea Arsenica bridges structural, glandular, and systemic degenerative conditions.

🩺 Key Clinical Indications

1. Glandular Enlargement & Cancer Support

Hard, stony glands (cervical, axillary, mesenteric)
Pre-cancerous or malignant glandular conditions
Suited in supportive care for cancer patients, especially when symptoms alternate between Calcarea and Arsenic constitutions

2. Psoriasis, Eczema & Skin Ulcerations

Scaly, dry, itchy skin with burning sensation
Eruptions that become ulcerated or ooze foul fluid
Indicated in chronic skin diseases, especially when symptoms are worse from cold and washing

3. Debility and Exhaustion

Deep fatigue, especially after chronic disease or fever
Anxious and restless yet physically weak and cold
Recovery stage from tuberculosis or glandular infections

4. Tubercular & Scrofulous Children
