Schüssler Salt No. 18 Calcium sulfuratum hahnemannii

Use in case of illness

The Schüssler salt No. 18 is Calcium sulfuratum hahnemannii and is mainly used in detoxification. This includes all ailments that are caused in any way by toxin exposure. Examples include diarrhea or gastrointestinal infections, immunodeficiency, circulatory disorders or acute and delayed respiratory infections. However, treatment with Calcium sulfuratum can also help with unspecific psychological and neurological symptoms such as depressive moods, migraines or slight irritability of the nerves or nerve pain. Chronic skin problems such as poorly healing wounds, rashes and recurring abscesses can also benefit from treatment with Calcium sulfuratum. To support medical treatment, this salt can also be given in the case of tonsillitis. Treatment with this salt can be particularly effective in the case of a purulent inflammation.

Use in case of symptoms

Whether a person needs the use of Schüssler salts is recognized by certain external and personal characteristics. With the help of the so-called face analysis, the external characteristics are observed, especially in the face, and compulsive behavior is sometimes recognized. These behaviors are often caused by a higher consumption of certain trace elements. For the Schüssler Salt No. 18, such features are mainly drooping eyelids or bulges at the corners of the eyes. A yellowish complexion or yellowish discolouration of the eyes (sclera) can also indicate that Calcium sulfuratum is required, as this is usually caused by a certain additional burden on the liver. The liver is then no longer able to break down the yellow bilirubin, a waste product from red blood cells, in a timely manner. In infants, the increased incidence of cradle cap is also one of the features of the facial analysis.

detoxification

A common traditional application of Calcium sulfuratum is detoxification. Particular emphasis should be placed on the detoxification of mercury, since from an alternative medicine point of view, Calcium sulfuratum is the antidote to mercury. It is also known to be used to detoxify amalgam, which is contained in many tooth fillings. The sulfur it contains is responsible for the detoxifying properties of this salt. This is traditionally used in alternative medicine as a detoxifying and draining agent. The calcium it also contains strengthens these properties, which means that this salt is used specifically for detoxification. In addition, it also favors the elimination of many other toxins, which do not necessarily have to be heavy metals. So if you suspect exposure to such toxins, you can consider treatment with Calcium sulfuratum.

Active organs

The largest detoxification organ in the human body is the liver, as it filters toxins from the blood, breaks them down and excretes the resulting products. Since calcium sulfuratum is mainly used for detoxification and removal of toxins, taking this salt supports the natural function of the liver. Since toxin exposure affects the entire body, Calcium sulfuratum also affects all corresponding organs of the body. The effect is most likely visible on the skin, as abscesses and purulent or poorly healing wounds can be stimulated to heal by taking this salt.

dosage

Calcium sulfuratum hahnemannii should be taken in a low potency, around 6X. With this potency, the healing of pus foci of any kind can be supported, as it accelerates the drainage of the pus. A higher potency like D12 is also ordered now and then, mostly if the salt is to be used to treat long-lasting, i.e. chronic skin problems of dry, cracked skin or fissures. Regardless of the potency, a maximum of three tablets per day should be taken; in addition, the intake should always be clarified with the treating naturopath or homeopath.
