Calcarea
carbonica, or calcium carbonate, is also known as calcarea ostrearum. It is derived from
the natural secretions of the European oyster, Ostrea edulis. This homeopathic remedy is prepared from the layer
of crystals of calcium carbonate that are located in the middle layer of the
oyster’s shell. Traditionally it has been used to treat symptoms of exhaustion,
depression and anxiety.

How safe is Calcarea Carbonica
Calcarea
carbonica, like other homeopathic remedies, has so little of the original
substance in the tablets that it is highly unlikely to produce side effects in
the usual sense. In addition, because Calcarea carbonica is given more often
for constitutional treatment than for acute illnesses, it is not as likely to
produce the temporary worsening of the patient's symptoms known as aggravation.
