Schuessler Tissue Salt Ferrum Phos (No. 4)

Ferrum phosphoricum should always be considered as a supplementary remedy in first-aid situations.
It is an oxygen carrier and it oxygenates all tissues of the body and is important in acute situations such as congestion, inflammatory pain, high temperature, haemorrhagia, and open wounds (apply powder).
Ferrum phosphoricum is also used in diarrhoea, dysmenorrhoea, enuresis, vertigo, abscesses, watering of the eyes, conjunctivitis, cystitis, angina, gingivitis, contusions, bruises, muscular injuries and trauma.
Can be used in chronic situations such as shortness of breath, asthma, anaemia (helps in the formation of hemoglobin) and chronic inflammatory conditions (e.g. colitis).
