Ferrum Phosphoricum
FUNCTION 1;- Ferrum phos. is the oxygen- carrier. it gives strength & toughness to
the circular walls of the blood vessel mainly arteries.
FUNCTION 2:- When there is loss of Ferrum in muscular cells & intestinal walls the
peristaltic motion of the intestinal canal is retarded leading to constipation.
FUNCTION 4:- Ferrum toughens the cellular structure in the circular walls of the blood
vessel. So lack of iron leads to breaking down of minute vessel leading to heamorrhage
from any orifices.
FUNCTION 5:- Ferrum phos. Help in the action of other salts like Kali Sulph , Nat.
mur., Kali mur. Calc. Phos. Their actions are increased when each of them is mixed with
