Ferrum phosphoricum for iron deficiency
The iron it contains means that Ferrum phosphoricum can be used for iron deficiency or the resulting “anemia” (iron deficiency anemia). According to the Schuessler doctrine, however, this salt is rather intended to improve or alleviate disorders of the iron metabolism. Iron deficiency anemia (anemia caused by iron deficiency) usually results from increased loss of blood, for example from a heavily bleeding wound or, in women, from menstruation. Alternatively, iron deficiency is often caused by a long-term reduced absorption of iron, for example through a one-sided or meatless diet.
A good way of increasing the body's iron stores is to take appropriate tablets, of which a large number of different preparations (including of plant origin) are available. Of course, you can try treating iron deficiency with the Schüssler salt Ferrum phosphoricum instead. However, it should be pointed out at this point that Ferrum phosphoricum contains a much lower concentration of iron than corresponding iron tablets. From a scientific point of view, iron tablets will therefore provide better acute help in the event of a diagnosed iron deficiency than Ferrum phosphoricum.

Ferrum Phosphoricum as an ointment
One possibility of external use of Ferrum phosphoricum is in addition to the paste (ground tablets that are mixed with a little water) also the ointment, which is usually ready-to-buy. This is used for insect bites as well as for a variety of different injuries to the external tissue, such as sprains, burns, bruises, bruises or cuts and abrasions. Ferrum phosphoricum ointment can also be used to support medical treatment and thus help alleviate the symptoms of inflamed joints, for example in the context of a known rheumatic disease or incipient tendinitis. Inflammatory skin diseases or rashes can also respond well to therapy with Ferrum phosphoricum, especially if the inflammation is in its early stages.
If a treatment with Ferrum phosphoricum ointment does not work, the fourth Schuessler salt, potassium chloratum, can be used as an alternative.
