Kali Bichrome is very good in the treatment of diphtheria. However,

it cannot be compared to Muriatic Ac id, which of course is the best

treatment of diphtheria and also alleviates the profound physical

weakness of the patient. The feelin g of weakness is associated with

all Potassium salts. For example, Kali Phos is used as a nerve tonic.

Similarly, analogous use of Kali Ca rb is unique in vitalizing the

nature. If the patient presents the symptoms of Kali Bichrome, he will

immediately respond to Kali Bichrome in that the body will feel light

nerves. In all these salts, there is a tendency to develop sores. One

the body, one must try to correlate the patient’s symptoms to some

Potassium salt. There was a patient who had an old deep ulcer on his

foot. I treated him with Kali Iodide. The ulcer healed in no time.

Before this treatment, the patient had been treated in the best military

hospitals without any success. I had also prescribed Potassium Iodide,

since all his other symptoms were those of Potassium constitution.

Kali Bichrome is also very useful in the treatment of the diseases of

situation.

The ulcers of Kali Bichrome are very deep and their edges are raised.

However, this symptom is not diagnostic per se. This symptom is

Bichrome resembles that of Causticum i.e. the cracking sound from

the knees on walking, standing or sitting. Cracking is painless,

though, definitely worrisome. Causticum is considered to be the most

effective treatment for this problem, though Kali Bichrome is equally

good. However in Kali Bichrome, the patient feels a burning

sensation is found in all Potassium salts.

Like Belladonna, the symptoms of Kali Bichrome come on suddenly

migraines (hemicrania).

Kali Bichrome is useful in the treatment of eczema over the scalp .

Though, if the eczematous area is scaly and the discharge is yellowish

resemblance to Mezereum is that when the nasal symptoms subside,

the eczema flares up and vice versa.

Mezereum, though the latter works only locally, while Kali Bichrome

affects the entire body. Moreover, in Mezereum, the symptoms of

formation of corneal ulcers. The wounds and ulcers of Kali Bichrome

perforation of the septum of the nose (the dividing wall between the

two nostrils). One strange symptom is that when the discharge sticks

lower molar teeth on that particular side hurt as if these are the root

cause of the pain, though in fact this is caused by the nerve root pain.

Kali Bichrome is also beneficial in the treatment of ulcers of the lips

and inside the mouth. Cistus is also of use in this condition,

especially for the ulcer of the lower lip. Dulcamara is effective

against ulcers of both the upper and lo wer lips as well as against skin

conditions that tend to spread quite fast. It also affects the sweat

glands (pyretic glands).

In Kali Bichrome, the nose tends to bleed and blebs (polyps) form

over the lining of the nose. It is also beneficial in the treatment of the

tuberculous infection of the facial skin and the mucous membranes.

By the grace of God, both these c onditions have been successfully

cured with it.

In Kali Bichrome, the tongue becomes covered with a thick coating,

dirty patches here and there. The tongue exhibits a peculiar type of

form resembling a strawberry in co lour and shape. The resulting

larger area.
