Reason for use

Calcarea carb. is a remedy of great value in chronic rheumatic conditions of joints ; inflammation and swelling without the general symptoms of inflammation.

In gouty constitutions with nodes on fingers.

In all rheumatic conditions the aggravations are marked, particularly that from working in water and the change from dry to cold wet weather.

We must always bear in mind the general constitutional symptoms of Calcarea carb.

Calcarea carb. follows well after Rhus tox.
