Phosphorus

Overview

In homeopathy, Phosphorus itself is the most commonly used term for the remedy. There aren’t any true synonyms for it. However, some homeopathic retailers may abbreviate it as Phos.

Homeopathy is an alternative medicinal system that uses highly diluted substances to treat a wide range of conditions. If you are considering using a homeopathic remedy, it is important to speak to a qualified Homeopathic Doctor first.
