Baryta carbonica is a type of homeopathic remedy widely used to treat children and the elderly who are suffering from a huge variety of symptoms that encompass physical, emotional, and mental impairments. It is also known as Barium carbonate, Bar-C and Baryta-carb. As barium easily dissolves in air, it is often difficult to obtain it in its pure form, so this remedy is taken from mineral barite and witherite, found mainly in ancient rocks. Preparations are in the forms of granules, tablets, and pellets that are available in many pharmacies.

Children who are thought to benefit from this remedy exhibit delayed growth development and mental retardation. Physically, they show abnormally large and bulging abdomens, big heads, and limbs and genitals that are small for their ages. Trisomy 21, commonly known as Down’s syndrome, and dwarfism are some of the medical conditions treated with it. These individuals usually have walking difficulties, slow thinking processes, and poor social skills.

Because Baryta carbonica is difficult to obtain in its pure form, it is usually taken from mineral barite and made into capsules, tablets, pellets, or granules.

Elderly people who may be prescribed Baryta carbonica frequently have senile dementia, a disorder showing deterioration of mental abilities usually associated with getting old. Stroke and Alzheimer's disease are the two most common causes of this deterioration. Symptoms include loss of memory, short attention span, confusion, language difficulties, irritability and impaired judgment.

Trisomy 23, more commonly known as Down's syndrome, and dwarfism are two of the medical conditions treated with Baryta carbonica.

Symptoms include difficulty and pain when swallowing, fever, muscle pains, headache and cough. Use of this remedy is thought to prevent subsequent attacks.

In addition, this homeopathic remedy may help prevent the worsening of heart disease by lowering cholesterol levels and controlling blood pressure.
