Calcarea muriatica
Calcium chloride · Mineral
Calcarea Muriatica suits scrofulous and rheumatic constitutions with glandular tendencies and persistent vomiting.

Key symptoms
- Obstinate vomiting of all food and drink
- Vomiting even when no food has been taken

- Scrofulous boils and impetigo
- Jaundice with pain in left hypochondrium
- Gastric pain with bloating and eructations
- Faintness, anxiety, trembling, and giddiness
