CALCAREA SULPHURICA

(Calcium Sulphate, Plaster of Paris)
The bile contains it. It destroys worn-out red blood corpuscles in the
liver by eliminating their water, and excreting the remnants through
biliary action. Hence the blood does not contain useless cells. It cures
purulent excretions from the mucous membranes. It removes purulent
exudations from serous sacs. It cures tuberculous ulcers of the
intestines, also ulceration or deep seated abscess of the cornea. It is
known as an Ulcer Remedy. “The presence of pus with a vent is the
general indication” (Boricke & Dewey). It is a constituent of all
connective tissues. It increases blood coagulation. It stimulates
metabolism.
It controls yellow colored suppuration, which may be tinged with blood.
“While Silicea hastens the process of suppuration in a normal manner,
Calc Sulph closes up the process at the proper time.” George W. Carey.
