🔱 Garuda Purana Perspective

Though Calcarea Fluorica is not mentioned by name, the Garuda Purana discusses ailments of bones (asthi), veins (sira), glands (granthi) and their karmic and elemental imbalances:

“Śleṣma-vāta-prakopaḥ asthi-sandhi-vibhedakaḥ.”
(When vata and kapha disturb the system, bones and joints weaken and harden.)

🌿 Vedic Healing Support

1. Mantra for Bone and Elasticity Healing

“Om Namah Shivaya” – stabilizes vata and brings strength
“Tryambakam Yajamahe…” – supports longevity and cellular repair

2. Herbal Add-ons

Ashwagandha, Hadjod (Cissus), and Bala root
Cooked in ghee or taken as tea to rebuild connective tissues

3. Diet and Lifestyle

Avoid sour curd, cold water, fermented food
Favor warm soups, sesame oil massage, sunbathing

4. Charity & Ritual

Donate mustard oil, sesame seeds, or blankets to the poor on Saturdays

📌 Conclusion

Calcarea Fluorica is a master remedy for strengthening and restoring firmness to bones, teeth, glands, veins, and skin. It bridges the gap between physical structure and constitutional resilience. When supported with Garuda Purana-based lifestyle and mantra therapy, it provides truly holistic healing.
