Barium carbonicum

application areas

Areas of application of Barium carbonicum (sometimes also: Baryta carbonica) are developmental disorders and delays in children, which can affect both physical and mental aspects. Barium carbonicum can also help with dementia in older people, whose behavior becomes “childlike” again. So it is mainly used either very early or very late in life.

It can also be used for degenerative diseases affecting the heart, circulation and blood vessels. In addition, it has been shown to be effective on enlarged tonsils in the throat.

What diseases can it be used for?

The two major illnesses for which barium carbonicum is used are, on the one hand, dementia or confusion and memory disorders in older people.

On the other hand, the application has proven itself with a disturbed mental or physical development of children, as well as with a lack of self-confidence and extreme shyness, especially in front of strangers.

Other illnesses that can be alleviated by the administration of barium carbonicum are mild colds, which are accompanied by swelling of the lymph nodes or tonsillitis. In addition, heart problems, especially noticeable palpitations, high blood pressure (while the person's face is pale!) And arteriosclerosis are among the fields of treatment for barium carbonicum.

What symptoms can it be used for?

Barium carbonicum can be used for the following main symptoms: These include childlike behavior that is not appropriate for age, lack of self-confidence, indecision and forgetfulness. A poor perception is also one of the typical symptoms of barium carbonicum.

In addition, other areas of application are the typical problems of older age such as arteriosclerosis, cataracts (clouding of the lens in the eye), hearing loss and circulatory problems such as (inexplicable) dizziness.

It can also be used for recurring or long-lasting to chronic tonsillitis, lymph node swelling, tendencies to colds and rapid freezing.

In which organs does it work?

Barium carbonicum mainly affects the brain and the mind. In addition to this pronounced neurological (nervous) effect, it also has an effect on the heart. Here it can help especially with a weak heart (e.g. noticeable by palpable palpitations) and with arteriosclerosis (attention: the latter clinical picture should not be treated exclusively homeopathically if necessary - blood lipid lowering drugs are usually also prescribed!)

It also acts on glands in the body, especially the lymph glands. These also include the lymph nodes. If these are swollen, for example due to a flu-like infection or a mild cold, the administration of barium carbonicum can also be helpful.

Common dosages of barium carbonicum

The proven dosage for Barium carbonicum is D12 for the treatment of neurological problems. It is then recommended to take it twice a day; the dosage varies depending on the severity of the symptoms. Usually the dosage starts with a minimum of two globules per intake. Treatment can continue until there is improvement. Since barium carbonicum causes rather slow changes, long-term use should not be avoided.
Potency D12 is also indicated in the case of high blood pressure (and at the same time paleness of the person), also with two globules twice a day.

If tonsillitis or enlargement of the lymph nodes is to be treated, a potency such as 30 D should be used. This is then used with two globules twice over five days.
