Schüssler salt No. 19: Cuprum arsenicosum
Use in case of illness
The 19th Schüssler salt, Cuprum arsenicosum, has an effect on the formation of blood and is therefore often used in anemia (anemia) - anemia particularly responds to a treatment that is caused by a copper deficiency (in contrast to iron deficiency anemia - although also with a disturbed copper metabolism taking Cuprum arsenicosum can help). In addition, the anemia can also lead to an immunodeficiency and thus susceptibility to infection. On the other hand, it acts on muscle and nerve tissue and can therefore be used to prevent cramps of all kinds: For example, muscle cramps that are triggered by physical exertion or menstrual cramps that are triggered by cramps in the uterus can be alleviated or even prevented. Another area of application is the excessive secretion of various organs of the patient. This can result, for example, in slimy diarrhea, coughing with increased sputum or excessive cold or uncomfortably sticky sweating.

For what symptoms do I use Cuprum arsenicosum?
With the Schüssler salts you can recognize a person who needs a salt by certain external and personal characteristics. According to the teaching of Dr. Schüssler points out that certain character traits entail a higher consumption of certain salts. However, when it comes to external features, the so-called face analysis makes up the majority of this so-called remedy picture. Face analysis means that the features can be found on the face. In the case of Cuprum arsenicosum, such features include, for example, the color of the face, which can then typically look yellowish or bluesy-blue, as well as a coating on the tongue that appears slimy. A person deficient in Cuprum arsenicosum is also prone to increased saliva production and, as a result, frequent swallowing. Personality traits that go hand in hand with an increased consumption of Cuprum arsenicosum and thus indicate such a deficiency are restlessness, restlessness and anxiety. The patients are also nervous and have an increased appetite for foods rich in carbohydrates, such as bread and pasta. Restless legs syndrome is also typical for this patient group.
Use for coughs
Taking Cuprum arsenicosum can also help with coughs caused by bronchitis or bronchial asthma. The type of cough can reveal whether or not it makes sense to use this Schüssler salt: Particularly convulsive coughing fits that are accompanied by strong secretion of the mucous membranes can respond well to treatment with Cuprum arsenicosum. Cuprum arsenicosum should also be considered if symptoms worsen in the cold and (in women) before menstruation. If drinking cold water can alleviate the symptoms, giving the 19th Schüssler salt can also help to improve the cough.

Active organs
Cuprum arsenicosum primarily promotes blood formation in the bone marrow and the antispasmodic release of muscle tissue. Through the latter, it affects numerous organs in the body, since muscles occur both as skeletal muscles in the musculoskeletal system and as smooth muscles in the internal organs. Therefore, in addition to the muscles in the arms, legs and trunk, it also has an effect on the digestive tract, where it can alleviate muscular disorders. Due to the presence of muscle cells in many other organs such as the uterus or the lungs and the respiratory tract, Cuprum arsenicosum is able to relieve or prevent cramps.
Usual dosage D4, D6, D8, D12, C30, C200 (0.25)
This Schüssler salt is usually used in the D6 potency. Of these, we recommend taking six tablets a day, which are either taken individually (i.e. one tablet six times over the day) or in pairs (i.e. two tablets three times over the day). Taking it in the evening or at night has proven itself. Higher potencies like D12 are also often given. For a dosage adapted to the respective situation, however, a suitably trained alternative practitioner should be consulted, as the application and dosage strongly depend on individual factors.

Globules
Schüssler salts are usually taken in tablets, but they can also be taken as globules if desired. Anyone who is familiar with globules can try to transfer the dosage of the tablets. Since there are generally no side effects with globules, this can even be a good method to get to know how your own body works in this way. The potencies are the same for globules and tablets, only the number of globules to be taken must be adjusted correctly. In terms of their spectrum of activity, the globules cover the same complaints as the tablets and thus offer an alternative dosage form to the tablets.
