kaliums
Posted: Fri Dec 14, 2001 12:07 pm
Dear all, here is the first remedy group comparisons. Hope you find it
useful. I am thinking of doing the bowel nosodes in the new year. Happy
holiday reading.
The Kaliums have quite a lot in common:- WEAKNESS, ALTERNATING SYMPTOMS,
HAGGARD OR ANXIOUS LOOKING FACIAL EXPRESSIONS, CATARRHS, BACKACHES, OEDEMA,
DELUSIONS ABOUT BODY, OPEN AIR, > MOVING
SLOWLY, ASTHMA, EPILEPSY, BULIMIA and ANOREXIA. They can be hungry but food
nearly always agg. They are nearly all controlled and conservative in their
behaviour and outlook. There is a certain rigidity.
HOT KALIUMS = ACETICUM; BROMATUM; IODATUM; NITRICUM; PERMANGANICUM;
SULPHURATUM; SULPHURICUM.
COLD KALIUMS = ARSENICOSUM; BICHROMICUM; CARBONICUM; CHLORICUM; CYANATUM;
FERROCYANTUM; MURIATICUM; OXALICUM; PHOSPHORICUM; SILICATA;
TIME MODALITIES =
ACETICUM = loud belching
BICHROMICUM = > open air (not gastric, > cold weather (itch), > motion, pressure, > day,
CHLORICUM = > nose bleeds, > sneezing
CHLOROSUM = ?
CITRICUM = ?
CYANATUM = motion
FERROCYANATUM = rest
IODATUM = open air
MURIATICUM = gentle motion
OXALICUM = ?
PERMANGANICUM = ?
PHOSPHORICUM = sleep, > leaning on something
PICRICUM = ?

All the various Kaliums have affinities with various organs and body parts
and are thus indicated in corresponding pathology (OF COURSE ONLY WHEN THE
SX FIT THE PICTURE).

to bed = suddenly disappears, increased urine and perspiration.
ARSENICOSUM = potassium arsenite = fowler's solution = arsenious acid +
carbonate of potash + tincture of lavender. Head feels large (compare Kali.

discontented, nervous depression, startled look on face, intense thirst,
constant pain and nausea after food, violent diarrhoea, s.a.i red hot iron

BICHROMICUM = sluggishness dominates, anthropophobia, averse to mental
exertion, tough stringy jelly like mucous, gastric Sx > alternating with <
rheumatics, pain in small spots, wandering pains, s.a.i. hair on tongue,
oedema of eyelids (compare Kali carb.).
BROMATUM = persecution complex, nervous, delusion committed a crime, fear of
being poisoned, fear of being alone, no memory, hands constantly fidgeting,
eyeballs constantly moving around, anorexia and bulimia, rice water stools,
increased sexual appetite, epilepsy from ovarian irritation, ovarian
tumours, moist eruptions, menstrual disorders.
CARBONICUM = irritable, full of fears, sadness, s.a.i. something loose in
head, sharp cutting pains, oedema around eyes, debilitating states esp.
after labour, sweaty, excessively acute hearing, bulimia < warm milk and
food, s.a.i. lump in stomach, s.a.i. plug in larynx, constipation during
menses, females have no sexual appetite, back aches as if broken, during
asthma has to sit up with arms on knees.
CHLORICUM = destroys kidneys, lively alternating with ill humour, great
apathy, s.a.i. flares and sparks before eyes, paroxysms of ravenous hunger
alternating with no appetite, delusion he must starve, refuses to eat,
inability to empty bladder, violent beating heart, constant cold feet.
CHLOROSUM = bleach, great sensitivity around larynx, watery eyes, pale puffy
face.
CITRICUM = flow of mucous from anus, dreadful gastric and abdominal pains
(compare nitric acid), constant flatus.
CYANATUM = gentleness alternating with uncontrollable crossness when
entering a room, irritable with absent people (LYC), feels good in cold air,
cannot tolerate head being covered = h/a, cancer of tongue, astringent taste
in mouth, loud mucous rattle in chest, limbs rigid and convulsed, tetanic
spasms, body moist and cold.
FERROCYANATUM = animal substances fused with carbonate of potash, uterine
sphere (compare Sepia), heart sphere (compare Kali. carb), sad, tearful,
thinks he will die, neuraligias following the sun, menstrual problems,
bearing down sensations, leucorrhea like pus.
IODATUM = fearful, dreads the return of dawn, talkative and full of jokes,
always troubled, earnest look on face, uncertain, feels intoxicated,
tottering gait, eyes surrounded by dark rings and sunken, very sensitive
hearing, sounds of running water or rain on roof, blisters on tongue, speech
thick, swollen thyroid, averse to all food, emaciated, suppressed menses,

MURIATICUM = chemically related to Fibrin so plastic exudation predominates,
delusion he must starve, every discharge is white, chronic catarrh of middle
ear, s.a.i. tumour on tongue, gonorrhea and suppression of, suppressed

NITRICUM = very severe pains = stitching and cutting < than Kali carb.,
diuretic - diabetes and eneuresis, affects abdominal and pelvic organs,
anxiety and agitation, very absent minded, intoxicated like confusion
(compare Kali iod.), delusion made of wood, ravenous hunger at 10-11 am,
cannot drink for want of breath, s.a.i. something turning in stomach, cough
wakes at 3 am
OXALICUM = violent convulsions, extreme depression, anxious looking, very
sore eyes, cold sweat, acid taste in mouth, scalding sensation, great
thirst, continuous vomiting, nails and finger are blue.
PERMAGANICUM = disinfectant so there are septic conditions, profuse
lachrymation = smarting, profuse bleeding, constant inclination to swallow
and hawk, appetite lost, sense of constriction, constant flow of ropy mucous
from stomach, hot and burning in stomach.
PHOSPHORICUM = nervous dread and irritable, homesick, suspicious, sensation
of paralysis, gangrenous states, hungry but sight of food takes appetite
away, can only eat sweets and vinegar, thick yellow catarrhs, talks in
sleep, blue ulcer like spots on skin, chills run up the spine.
PICRICUM = explosive nature of salt so there are violent eructations!!,
jaundice and diarrhoea - liver Rx, urine browny red not from bile but from
urate of ammonia.
SILICATA = great lassitude, emaciation, absent minded, indolent, bloody
discharges, stiff body, creeping sensations, twitching muscles.
SULPHURATUM = violent gastric irritation, red face, feels stupid and
unconscious, heat in mouth, constant inclination to vomit but can't - later
vomits large pieces of stomach membrane, copious stools.
SULPHURICUM = sensation of heaviness, extreme desquamation, Schussler's
pulsatilla, great pain on moving head L-R, all discharges are yellow,
catarrhal deafness, swollen eustachian tubes, smell and taste lost, gastric
catarrh, suppressed menses, very vivid dreams.
TARTARICUM = vomits black green fluid, stools like coffe grounds, violent
diarrhoea, great thirst, emaciated, extreme weakness can hardly walk.
TELLURICUM = garlic odour of breath, tongue swollen and white, increased
appetite at first then quickly diminishes until lost, very sleepy.
The Kaliums are a bright and colourful group of remedies, either by their
original substance, affinity to certain conditions such as haemorrhages, or
by their discharges.
ACETICUM = red
ARSENICOSUM = blue
BICHROMICUM = blue
CARBONICUM = yellow
CHLORICUM = blue
CYANATUM = blue
FERROCYANATUM = red and yellow
IODATUM = green
MURIATICUM = white
OXALICUM = blue
PERMANGANICUM = red
PHOSPHORICUM = multi
PICRICUM = yellow
SILICATA = red
SULPHURATUM = yellow
SULPHURICUM = yellow
TARTARICUM = dark green
In summary I think that one of the most important applications of the
kaliums could be in Anorexia and bulimia. Sabadilla has often been thought
of as a prominent remedy in these cases but the Kaliums really need looking
at for this. Anyone who has any cases and would care to share them with us
would be great.
Thanks for reading.
Best wishes, Joy Lucas
