Magnesia Carbonica

Classical single remedy

cramping, shooting neuralgic pain relieved dramatically by heat, hard pressure and bending double — the classic colic and cramp remedy. (Boericke)

What it’s reached for

  • period cramps or belly colic eased by a hot water bottle and bending over.
  • writer's cramp, muscle cramps and shooting nerve pains, better for warmth.

Colic & Flatulence — Colocynthis vs. Magnesia Phosphorica vs. Chamomilla vs. Carbo Vegetabilis: much the same cramping colic, also better for pressure and bending double.

Painful Periods — Magnesia Phos vs. Colocynthis vs. Cimicifuga vs. Viburnum vs. Chamomilla: cramping, radiating pains markedly better for local heat, for firm pressure and for bending double; the leading painful-periods remedy.

Potency: 6X in hot water, sipped, repeated every few minutes for a cramp; or 30C.
