The following is a small amount of information on each of the INGREDIENTS of this combination.
ARSENICUM ALBUM (White Oxide of Arsenic) Arsenicum is a leading polycrest—an absolutely amazing whole body remedy—for anything to do with the digestive and intestinal tracts and many other systems. A few (very few) keynote symptoms include burning pain in the stomach and abdomen, rumbling and cramping pains in the bowels, violent squeezing and constriction in the umbilical region, and enlargement of the liver and the spleen.

CALENDULA OFFICINALIS (Pot Marigold) Calendula is a remarkable healing agent, applied locally or given internally in homeopathic potency. Calendula promotes the rapid healing of wounds, cuts, abrasions, lacerations, and broken skin surfaces. Calendula prevents scar tissue formation, stops bleeding—especially from the scalp or mouth, and is excellent before or after surgery.
CAUSTICUM (Caustic Potash) The pain associated with Causticum includes contracted tendons, muscle pain, paralysis of individual parts, burning with rawness and soreness, weakness and loss of muscular strength that creates unsteady walking and easy falling, and pain in the spine.

For whatever reason—in this case, some sort of toxicity from which the body needs to detox—the body is stiffening, the muscles become weak, the chest becomes tight, the glands become painful, and eventually there is weakness of body and mind with trembling all over.
EUPHRASIA OFFICINALIS (Eyebright) Euphrasia is specific for allergic reactions with a pronounced action on the eyes. Symptoms include eye irritation with discharge and copious watering, glandular swellings, and very offensive sweat as the body attempts to detoxify from the inhaled poisons.
