This salt is a constituent of the surface of bone and enamel of the teeth. It is also a constituent of the elastic fibres and epidermis.

Its special field of usefulness when ho-meopathically applied is in conditions of dilated blood vessels; arterial and venous blood tumors; hemorrhoids; varicose veins and in indurated glands which are marked by stony hardness. Malnutrition of bones, exostoses and indurations, find in it a valuable remedy. Specifically it is to be employed in indurated knots in the female breast, not yet malignant but which if neglected are likely to become so. Another valuable indication, is a backache simulating spinal irritation in the lumbosacral region; a sort of chronic lumbago, with aggravation on beginning to move and amelioration by continued motion.
