Slow development. Chubby and a little lazy with a tendency to get fat. Many different types of fears and worries, in fact it is one of the most worried remedies we have.

Feels cold and tends to get colds and nasal discharges very easily. Sour smelling sweat. Sweats immediately by the slightest movement and sweating when sleeping, especially around the neck and face, like you see with many babies and toddlers.

Likes sweet treats, soft-boiled eggs and salt. No desire for milk, and milk also makes the symptoms worse.

Calc carb covers many types of symptoms, but common to them all is that they are slow moving and stubborn. Symptoms have a slow onset and are hard to get rid of. The patient has many fears and a strong resistance to change. This remedy is ideal for chubby children with a strong sense of what is fair, who become so engrossed in their play that it is difficult to get them away from it again. Babies who smells sour, children with a big appetite, but who develop slowly.

Calc carb can be used for many things, such as slow dentition in children, coughing, colds, runny noses, headaches and any kind of anxiety covered by the above descriptions. Calc carb helps with the absorption of calcium and strengthens joints and bones.

Often used while growing up, or when going through more difficult changes and developments. Classic calc carb has a little extra on the bones and a high sense of justice.

They often feel chilly, lose their breath quickly and sweat a lot (especially on the head and neck). They fear many different things such as darkness, monsters, mice and insects. They also worry about their nearest and dearest.

They develop slowly and may be behind their peers, but do not let that worry you. There are problems metabolising nutrients in the body, which can cause problems in bones and teeth. They do best in a dry climate. They do not like heights. They quickly get sick after getting cold and wet or taking dairy.

In short: Slower overall, compared to others of the same age (crawling, teeth, etc.). Love soft-boiled eggs. Sour smelling sweat in the neck and on the head.

Other helpful hints: A baby with big head and a big belly is probably a ‘calc carb baby’.
