Phosphorus

Phosphorus types are the big-hearted empaths of the homeopathic world. They shine brightly, love deeply, connect instantly… and often crash hard because they feel everything.

They have poor emotional boundaries, absorb other people’s moods, and are easily overstimulated by noise, lights, smells, chemicals and even mould. They’re open, affectionate and bubbly (or shy) but craving closeness. Being alone is uncomfortable; they always want someone near. They’re often described as “magnetic” - adults and children naturally like them.

Emotional Themes

• Seek company and affection of others.

• Open and bubbly.

• Prone to anxiety.

• Fear of the dark, being alone, or something terrible happening.

• Restless, fidgety, hyperactive.

• Daydreamy, procrastination and brain fog.

• Burn bright → then burn out. Fatigue.

• Startle easily

• Indifference to loved ones – this can look very similar to Sepia, showing up as emotional flatness or detachment from family or children when the person is exhausted, overwhelmed or deeply depleted.

Physical Picture

• Gastritis, nausea, vomiting

• Diarrhoea, loose stools + haemorrhoids

• Ravenous appetite

• Palpitations, anxiety, myocarditis tendencies

• History of upper respiratory issues - asthma, sore throats, coughs, bronchitis, and pneumonia.

• Easy bleeding + nosebleeds

• Liver issues, hypoglycaemia

• Chronic vertigo

• Oversensitive to noises, smells, light and environmental triggers such as mould sensitivities

• Short naps rejuvenate

• Great thirst for cold/icy drinks. Often they love milk.

Phosphorus is a classic Tubercular remedy: lively, sensitive, reactive and full of quick rises and dips. Phosphorus types usually run hot - physically, emotionally and energetically. They warm up fast, inflame easily, and often describe burning sensations through the body.

This remedy brings light back into their system, grounding them and helping restore their spark.
