Baryta Carb 111 Baryta Carb Some homoeopaths describe the nature of Baryta Carb in one word i. e. dwarfism. Not only is the stature of the person small but he may also be mentally retarded. Both physical and mental deficiencies go hand in hand. In my experience, Baryta Carb works very well even in just a physical short stature. It is not right to associate every case of physical dwarfism with mental deficiency. In my hand, by God’s grace, Baryta Carb has worked equally well in dwarfs of average intelligence and great thinkers alike. Combined use of Silicea 6X and Calcaria Flour 6X is the best prescription for increasing height. Baryta Carb also works in dwarfs who are mentally deficient. It has also been found very effective in paralysis of long-standing, especially in the paralysis following typhoid and polio. Baryta Carb used alternatively with Sulphur or Rhus Tox has been found to produce wonderful results. However, so far, there is no known remedy for typhoid-stricken nervous system. The toxins produced in the typhoid kill the nerves and there is no cure for death. If the paralytic effects of typhoid/polio are on the muscles while the nerves are only partially afflicted, can offer an effective treatment. Baryta Carb (in addition to the other known remedies) has been found significantly effective in the paralysis of the limbs following typhoid and polio. The effect is more evident in polio than in typhoid. Baryta Carb may not offer cure, but the patient definitely feels much improved. The wasted legs start gaining mass and strength. The stiff paralysed hands start reverting towards normal use. However, every patient does not find that kind of improvement. The children of the nature of Baryta Carb tend to be very shy. At school, they are typical backbenchers. They hide themselves on the sight of strangers. When associated with some physical weakness, such children should be treated with Baryta Carb. Baryta Carb and Calcaria Carb are both famous for the treatment of weak-legged children. The main difference is that in Calcaria Carb, the legs are not only weak but they also look weak due to the underdevelopment of the bones. The belly of such children bulges forward and the head is prominently big. In Baryta Carb, the legs of the child may apparently look normal but are weak. Their walking is delayed. The weakness of the legs and delayed walking is also found in Borax and
