Muscular Fitness

A Best Seller Since 1894:

Muscular Tissue I

Ferr. phos, Kali sulph,

Mag. phos

This trio is the one-two-three of muscle care. For muscular first aid, Ferr phos (derived from iron phosphate) assures good oxygen delivery which keeps muscles strong and controls inflammation on sprains and strains. Without Kali sulph (from potassium sulphate), the oxygen cannot get from the blood to the tissues that need it. It is also the anti-friction salt to keep muscles sliding smoothly. Without Mag phos (from magnesium phosphate), our muscles and the nerves that guide them cannot communicate coherently because the white nerve fibers cannot relax, so we get painful spasms, cramps and charley horses. That concludes your class in Muscles 101.

P.S. One other cell salt to keep handy for muscle care, Nat phos, helps break down acids including the lactic acids that settle in your muscles and make them stiff after exercise or accidents.

But that's Only the Beginning...

While practically every single remedy can treat a whole range of symptoms, in our combination remedies they are selected for their action on a particular ailment, or as in this case organ. Our descriptions strive to identify what each ingredient contributes in case you want to try a single remedy. But professional homeopathy texts give much more insight than our coverage allows. Here's what they say about these muscle specialists:

Ferr phos

J. B. Chapman's book Dr. Schuessler's Biochemistry discusses these Ferrum phos details.

Ferrum phos is the great remedy for inflammatory conditions. It is found in the blood, where it colors the corpuscles red and carries oxygen to all parts of the body. It gives strength or toughness to the circular walls of the blood vessels, especially the arteries.  Without a proper balance of Ferrum phos in the blood, health cannot be maintained. It colors the blood corpuscles red. A deficiency of this salt is the cause of all inflammatory conditions, colds, coughs, etc.

For all such conditions, whenever there is inflammation, under whatever name it may be known, Ferrum phos is the chief remedy.  It is indicated in all cases depending upon a relaxed condition of the muscular tissue, and in abnormal conditions of the corpuscles of the blood themselves. In all febrile disturbances and inflammations, at the commencement, before exudation has begun. The symptoms of these disturbances are: flushed face, fever, quick, full pulse, hot dry skin, thirst, pain and redness of the parts.  In anemia it is excellent for its tonic action.  Ferrum phos symptoms are always aggravated by motion and relieved by cold.

Kali Sulph

In their book, The Twelve Tissue Remedies of Schuessler, MDs Wm Boericke and WA Dewey writes this of Kali sulph.
Insight:  Kali sulph is found in the cells and in the intercellular fluids, muscles, nerves, epithelium and in the blood corpuscles. It is the carrier of oxygen. The oxygen taken up by the iron contained in the blood corpuscles is carried to every cell of the organism by the reciprocal action of Kali sulph and iron. Every cell requires for its growth and development the vitalizing influence of oxygen. But its continued action oxidizes the organic basis of cells. Hence, they disintegrate into their constituent elements. A deficiency of Kali sulph may according to location and extent, occasion the following symptoms: Feeling of heaviness and weariness, vertigo, chilliness, palpitation, fear, melancholy, toothache, headache, pains in the limbs, which intermit and change location. These pains are worse in closed rooms, warmth and towards evening, and better in fresh, open air, that is rich in oxygen. Epidermis and epithelial cells poorly fed with oxygen loosen and desquamate freely. If oxygen is brought to the suffering parts by means of Kali sulph the formation of new cells is thereby furthered.

On Pain Neuralgic or rheumatic pains ... periodical, worse in the evening or in a warm room, and decidedly better in a cool atmosphere. Rheumatic pains in the joints or any part of the body... Cramps in upper and lower extremities.

Mag phos

In her book, The Complete Homeopathy Handbook, Miranda Castro writes this of Mag phos.

Insight:
Mag phos has been nicknamed 'the homeopathic aspirin' because of its success with curing minor aches and pains. These may be period pains, headaches, earaches, teething pains or even neuralgic pains of the face. For this remedy to be most effective, the general symptoms that characterize it must be present.  The pains are greatly relieved by heat, by the application of a hot water bottle or a hot compress, and are much worse for cole - for walking out in the cold, for swimming in cold water and/or for getting cold and wet. Firm pressure helps although light pressure may aggravate.

J. B. Chapman's book Dr. Schuessler's Biochemistry adds these specifics:

The work of Magnesia phos is chiefly confined to the delicate white nerve-fibers of the nerves and muscles.  It uses albumen and water to form the transparent fluid which nourishes these white threads or fibers.
A deficiency of this salt in the fiber allows it to contract, hence it produces spasms, cramps, convulsions, etc. When this contraction takes place, there is pressure on the sensory nerves, and this gives rise to sharp, shooting, darting or neuralgic pains in any part of the body.
This salt is Nature's anti-spasmodic; and given in hot water will produce splendid results.

Nat phos

While not in this combination, Natrum phos' importance in breaking down lactic acid makes it very useful in preventing sore muscles after workouts or accidents.

J. B. Chapman's book Dr. Schuessler's Biochemistry discusses these Nat phos details.
Natrum phos is the remedy in all cases where there exists an excess of acid in the system.

Natrum phos splits up lactic acid into carbonic acid and water, and throws it off through the lungs. It has an affinity for sugar, and assists in eliminating any excess from the blood. A lack of proper balance of the alkaline cell-salt in gastric juice will allow ferments to arise, and so retard digestion that the lining of the stomach quickly becomes involved. Natrum phos by its affinity for lactic acid, is indicated in diseases wherein the acid is apparently in excess.
