Some aspects of the Calcarea Carbonica Personality

In my practice I have always focused on the personality profile of the patients. It had been my field of interest. The personality of the patient will frequently give you the guiding symptoms so that you will many times be able to select the remedy before your patient has stated his/ her case. In this article we shall look upon the Calcarea carbonica personality.

Cal. carb is one of the pivotal remedies of the materia medica and a great anti-psoric remedy. We see, there are people of different temperaments in the world. When we talk about people of Calcarea temperament, they are loose, flabby, chilly, worldly, and have a straightforward temperament.

Unlike lively and playful people like Lachesis and Sulphur who prefer to make fun and have outdoor activities, Calcarea prefers to sit at home and boil eggs, fry potatoes sit on the sofa, eat and keep herself busy at YouTube, watching T.V, etc.

He likes every job that doesn’t involve a lot of running, exertion, and hard work. He prefers to watch games rather than play games. Cal. carb, like many other types, has a sense of insecurity. Every remedy demands security according to its mood.

For example, Lycopodium is happy and satisfied with the praise of his work from others.  When Calcarea’s security is at stake, it is important to avoid strangers and to stay at home with her family and loved ones. Every change in life is a message of danger and apprehension for her.

According to Philip Bailey, Calcarea is seen in three times more women than men. As has been said, she strongly dislikes changing daily routines, so you will see that Calcarea Carb personalities spend years in the same office on the same type of job.

Sometimes she loses golden job opportunities because of her fear that the whole environment will change. He keeps on going to the same barber for years and won’t change her tailor etc.

Calcarea carb likes to eat good food and drink. In this respect, it is very close to Nux. vom and Sulphur. He gets fat by eating. The funny thing is that for years he doesn’t even care about his obesity. With Natrum mur obesity gets on her nerves. If you see a patient who is obese but has no interest in losing weight think of cal. Carb first.

To understand the Calcarea carb personality, remember the tortoise and rabbit race. And think of Calcarea carb as a tortoise. This person slowly and consistently completes the task at hand.

Unlike Sulfur, she is not very philosophical or theoretical. Her concerns are what will be cooked at home today? Who likes which dish at home? In which shop in the market you can find shoes of good design. Who makes good pizza?

Global politics, philosophy, and climate change do not fall within the scope of her thinking. It doesn’t matter how much the ozone layer is damaged or the environment polluted.

When she has a fight with someone, she behaves like a child. For example, she will close the door loudly or if she is in the kitchen, or she will throw the pot around loudly.

Sometimes it is difficult to differentiate between Calcarea and Pulsatilla, because both seek help and support from others. However, in Calcarea there is more simplicity and stagnation, while in Pulsatilla there is a rise of emotion.

Like phosphorus and Causticum, Calcarea cannot tolerate oppression and injustice, but Phosphorus and Pulsatilla are strong emotional drugs. And Causticum is on a much higher level than the other three in terms of not tolerating oppression and injustice. Causticum is deeper than phosphorus.

During the days I had a job in the middle east, a friend of mine came to visit an Indian relative. That person had come from the UK and now he had to go to India after performing Umrah.

Cal. carb is a slow and down-to-earth personality. Adventure does not suit him. Similarly, a Calcarea carb prefers to sit quietly at home. Does not participate in social activities. In sports, he prefers a game with less physical activity. For example, cards, chess or video games, etc. Calcarea carb children do not go on picnics because there is a lot of running and fear of getting tired. And secondly, they miss home very much.

The job which Arsenic or Nux vomica may complete in a matter of hours are completed in a matter of days by Calc. carb. Every small task of daily life looks like a mountain.

The following words fit in Calcarea carb. : Friendly, Shy, Uncomplicated, Sincere, Slow, Worse exercise, Informal, Loves to eat, Stubborn, Sedentary, Always late, Homesick.

Calcarea personality. The children tend to be plodders and have delayed mental development. They fear insects, scary stories, and ghosts; they are fascinated with the supernatural.

Calcarea carb baby milestones are late. Walking is also late. The mothers of such children often complain that the baby does not like milk and vomits. The baby smells sour whenever he vomits. All Calcarea discharges are sour, whether it is saliva, urine, stool or sweat.

Calcarea Carb is a special medicine for children suffering from Rickets. Calcarea carb and Sulfur are special medicines for children who are scared or frightened in their dreams.

Unlike Sulfur and Nux vomica, these children avoid new experiences, such as making new friends, moving to new places, eating new foods, traveling, and so on.

She needs the sympathy and consolation of others like Pulsatilla and Phosphorus. The slightest carelessness in eating and drinking would be enough to upset her stomach. Calcarea sometimes goes into depression due to health concerns and thinks herself incurable. She worries not only about her health but also about the health of her loved ones.

In addition to the fear of cancer, there is also the fear of insanity and heart disease. George Vithoulkas wrote that in such a situation, fear becomes the main pathology.

Relations. Complementary: to, Bell., which is the acute of Calc.

– Calcarea acts best: before, Lyc., Phos., Sil.

– It follows Nit. ac., Puls., Sulph. (especially if pupils are dilated); is followed by, Kali bi. in nasal catarrh.

– According to Hahnemann, Calc. must not be used before Nit. ac. and Sulphur which may produce unnecessary complications.

– In aged people it should not be repeated, especially if the first dose benefited, as it will usually do harm. (Ref Allen keynotes)
