The salt for First Assistance

Iron is found in our blood and in all cells of the body. Iron, contained in red blood cells, absorbs the oxygen from the air during the inhaling process in order to distribute it to all tissues of the body. Ferrum Phosphoricum is helpful in all kind of infections in their initial stages. It is supportive in the treatment of acute inflammations, feverish conditions, fresh wounds, cuts and scratches as well as first-degree burns (e.g. sunburn).

Where It Works

Against disturbance of iron metabolism; weakened immune system (when you have frequent colds); small injuries (outer and inner); first-degree burns (e.g. sunburn); difficulty with concentration and memory; poor circulation resulting in cold hands and feet; muscle aches; disturbed growth of skin, hair and nails; nasal inflammation; coughing; at the beginning of tonsillitis, also when fever is present; children’s diseases. Acute stomach problems with or without vomiting, diarrhoea during summer months; rheumatic diseases.

Supports treatment of diarrhoea and gastritis.

Visual Analysis

In General: enlarged and engorged veins in the leg (varicose and spider veins). In extreme iron deficiency, the skin appears faded, the hair is dry and brittle, there are lengthwise and crosswise, grooves on the fingernails; a tendency to sweat.

Face: red face at the beginning and during a cold (similar to redness in fever), above all in the ears, cheeks and forehead; the eyes appear sunken, with a blue-black discolouring in the inner corners (this is often a sign of an oncoming cold and appears before redness is apparent); the eyelids display dark shadows.

Tongue: clear, smooth; sometimes light red discoloration; with fever, dry.
