You are Calcarea Carbonica — the quiet strength the world leans on.

Calcarea carb is a very deep-acting remedy prepared from oyster shells, which prefers to stay safely inside its shell, clinging to a rock for security, and it carries the same themes, like support, security, and stability.

Constitutionally, refers to a person who is generally slow, steady, reliable, thoughtful, down-to-earth, and often overwhelmed by responsibility. Physically, they may have a slower metabolism, gain weight easily, and feel chilly, especially around the feet. Emotionally, they are content to stay at home and watch TV, preferably with someone to cuddle and a good supply of high-calorie nibbles. They can be cautious, anxious about health or security, and tend to overthink decisions. They often crave comfort and routine. Change can be threatening to them. This remedy is commonly suited for those who feel burdened, fatigued, or insecure but are deeply caring and resilient at heart.

Three reasons to choose Cal-Carb -

1. Overwhelm from Responsibility and Anxiety

The person feels mentally or emotionally overwhelmed by life, especially by duties, fears about health, finances, or the future.

They often appear responsible on the outside but internally feel insecure or anxious.

2. Chilly Constitution + Physical Slowness

They tend to feel cold, especially the feet, sweat easily (especially on the head or neck), and tend to gain weight.

Sluggish digestion, slow development in children (like late walking/teething), or fatigue from slight exertion are common indicators.

3. Cravings for Eggs, Sweets, or Indigestible Things

A person needing Calcarea may strongly crave eggs, sweets, or even non-food items (like chalk or pencils—pica). They often feel worse from cold or damp weather and better with rest and routine.
