The remedies
Some call mag phos "homeopathic Tylenol", which of course it is not by any means, but the remedy is used in many of the same situations where we would resort to using an over-the-counter painkiller. For example, if we have menstrual pain, with cramps, which we try to relieve by pulling the legs up towards the chest, and perhaps also apply a hot water bottle. Pain that is relieved by pressure and heat.
Good for nerve pain felt in the head and face. Good for shooting pains. Soothes headaches, toothaches and menstrual cramps.
The mag phos person is nervous and sensitive, but also impulsive and fiery.
The remedy is also used for colic, both for babies and for women who suffer from constipation during their periods.
The colic symptoms are relieved by rubbing the area where the pain is situated.
The pain is aggravated by cold and touch.
Remember to seek professional help if the pain persists, whatever it is.
In short: All kinds of cramps, especially period cramps. Cold aggravates, heat relieves.
Other helpful hints: Great for ‘writers cramp’.
